How RTI Works in Secondary Schools: Building a Framework for Success

Giving voice to a variety of school stakeholders, this compelling resource highlights the successes and challenges of RTI implementation in secondary schools, with their larger student and educator populations, multiple feeder schools, curriculum specialization, increased student responsibility, decreased parent involvement, growing achievement gaps, and sense of urgency about helping students who are nearing the end their K-12 school career.

The authors outline three imperative components of a successful RTI program assessment, team decision-making and problem-solving processes, and effective instruction and provide action steps and examples illustrating how each component should surface within the different RTI tiers. Through effective execution of these components, your school will be able to seamlessly coordinate a system of services that supports all students and educators.
