Overview

The ultimate guide to RTI

This resource guides practitioners through the challenging and rewarding process of implementing response to intervention (RTI). The chapters address critical factors such as collecting and using valid and reliable data, choosing from methods that are responsive to individual student needs, and implementing processes with fidelity. The authors describe RTI through various lenses:

• Behavioral interventions
• Grade-level approaches from elementary through high school
• Strategies tailored to English learners
• Specific content areas, including reading and math

Because RTI has the power to help students achieve success in school, this collection a must-have for every educator.
