Response to Intervention (RTI) is an instructional method that enables educators to assess and meet the needs of struggling students before they have fallen too far behind. RTI: Success provides answers to frequent questions such as: What are the three tiers of intervention? How do screening and progress monitoring work? Is there funding available to support RTI? RTI Success answers these and other questions while providing educators with practical tools to simplify the process. The book includes guidelines for implementing RTI in schools and provides hundreds of pragmatic, research-based instructional strategies for classroom teachers to target specific skill deficits in their students. Vignettes and school profiles demonstrate RTI techniques in diverse settings, and reproducible forms streamline assessment and documentation procedures.
