While one class of students is with a reach associate, the MTRT teaches another class of students, focusing on delivering personalized and enriched instruction. Each MTRT is responsible for co-planning, co-preparing, and delivering instruction, and co-monitoring student progress to determine instructional needs. MTRTs are also responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of instruction supervised by the reach associate(s) and making or recommending changes. The MTRT collaborates with others working with the same students or subjects, including other members of the multi-classroom leader's team as well as tutors or reach associates, to review student progress and change instruction to ensure high-progress, enriched learning for every student.
