Fairfield Community Schools -

Your kids were off school on Friday - here's why! Our teachers were participating in what's called Response To Intervention, or RTI, where they spent the day at Fairfield Junior/Senior High School learning about the processes of RTI and how it correlates to helping our students better themselves. The RTI process fits into the overall Professional Learning Community, or PLC, which Friday was bolstered by a pair of guest speakers: Mike Mattos, who joined the teachers virtually from California, and in person by Eric Twadell, both sharing initiatives and strategies for our teachers to utilize in their own classrooms.
