BELIEFS OF INDIAN SPRINGS
WE BELIEVE:
Learning is the most important reason why students are in school.
Successful education is a partnership and the shared responsibility of students, educators, parents/guardians, and the community.
Each student is a valued individual with unique intellectual, physical, social, and emotional needs.
Students learn in different ways and should be provided with a variety of instructional approaches that will encourage them to achieve their highest potential.
Connecting education to real life experiences empowers all students to become responsible citizens and life-long learners.
A competent, dedicated staff is an invaluable resource for the successful education of students.
Smaller classes enable children to benefit from more individualized instruction.
Everyone deserves to be treated with fairness, dignity, and respect, and has the right to a safe and secure educational environment.

Response to Instruction (RTI)
Response to Instruction (RTI) is a problem-solving based, collaborative approach to identifying and meeting the needs of all students. Teams of teachers and support staff meet a minimum of once per month to analyze student data, which may include attendance, behavior, tests, grades, work samples, etc., in order to determine the need for, type and degree of interventions needed to support student learning.
