Overview
Although Response to Intervention (RTI) is a necessity for all schools, the truth is that supplemental instruction can never compensate for inadequate core instruction. That's why you need this book's improved approach to RTI. The components for this strengthened model-RTI2-consist of using core instruction that is responsive, standards-based, and data-driven, building Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions that ensure continuity and alignment among all levels of instruction, developing a three-way feedback loop that uses formative assessment results to inform the learner, establish progress benchmarks, and improve curriculum and instruction for all students, and establishing a way for educators and families to work together effectively. Also the authors address and increase your knowledge of the principles of high-quality RTI, including which factors undermine most approaches to RTI, how the intensity of supplemental instruction should increase along with group size, time, and expertise, which types of assessments are included in an effective RTI model, and how to analyze assessment data and ensure that it's used to improve curriculum and instruction.
