St. Martin of Tours faculty response to the question “What further help they need to implement RRR in the classroom?” Listed below are some concerns:
•concrete lesson plans for various grades to promote high quadrant learning
•idea sharing meetings and
professional development workshops
•how to use in a pre-k environment
•additional support and reference materials for both student and educator
•time management concerns
•selected people could come and model a lesson in a real classroom setting or modeling via Webinar or CD format
•observe a lesson modeled from our curriculum within our time constraints

Fixable problems that the faculty feels are keeping them from progressing toward “student-centered classrooms” with high level of student engagement are:
•need for smaller class size
•technology concerns: better computers, Wireless Internet access in all classrooms, mounted LCD projectors
•addressing other needs of our students

St. Raymond's faculty response:

1) What further help do we need to implement RRR in our classroom?

*concrete examples of activities that can be accomplished in a class greater than 30
*professional development for every grade level
*sample lesson plans for every grade level for quadrants C & D
*opportunity to visit a classroom where RRR has been successfully implemented

2) What fixable things keep your school from progressing toward "student-centered classrooms" with high levels of student engagement?

*large class size
*some challenging students
*need for more resources/materials (manipulatives, technology)
