A resource for educators implementing and maintaining a successful RTI program

As the title suggests, this is a print-based workshop for those looking to start or maintain a response to intervention (RTI). RTI promises an entirely new approach to working with students, and yet its origins are not at all new.

At its essence, RTI is a collection of best practices gleaned through the years. Instead of waiting to address academic and behavioral deficits, RTI tackles them beginning in kindergarten.

And what about those students who are unnecessarily identified for intervention? With RTI, that pitfall is avoided through a constant process of instruction, planning and assessment. RTI stresses the use of evidence-based practices delivered in an inclusive classroom, high-quality instruction, and the organized accumulation of ongoing data about each student.
