The introduction defines RTI and explains its use within the process of SLD determination. The manual also discusses school-wide screening, progress monitoring, a tiered service delivery model and fidelity of implementation, and gives examples of RTI processes.

that while there are variations in RTI implementation, there are more similarities than differences between various models. He went on to explain what RTI implementation generally looks like across various implementation models: Students receive high quality, research-based instruction by qualified staff in general education settings. RTI is generally based on a multi-tiered model of increasing the intensity of instruction and interventions similar to the Positive Behavior Support model.2

these sources do not give cohesive, clear messages to those in charge of providing instruction to students. Limited fidelity of instruction: In order to implement RTI and EIS effectively, LEAs must ensure that high quality research-based instruction has consistently been provided with fidelity. Gaps in research: Currently, a lack of confidence in the knowledge base and a mismatch between current research and the immediate needs for implementation appears to exist. There is a need for more research

believe that NCLB’s AYP is not enough of an impetus to improve classroom instruction. Encourage research, syntheses and the development of implementation tools. Fund a national mechanism to coordinate RTI for all students. Establish funding priorities for rigorous research and technical assistance in the following areas: determining what quality instruction is (i.e., best practices for diverse learners in diverse settings such as middle school, high school, urban and rural schools); identifying

developed by IRIS, scale-up plans, state implementation materials, etc.). Identify and develop materials that are needed. Identify delivery modes (i.e., web-based, face-to-face, Communities of Practice [COPs], etc.) Customize materials and models to a variety of audiences (i.e., general educators, special educators, administrators, families, etc.). Develop training plans across all levels (i.e., timelines, roles/responsibilities). Plan for, and collect, data on the impact of the training. Plan

recommendations and the implementation considerations is that of increasing the use of evidence-based instructional strategies. The failure to implement and sustain effective practices in the classroom has been implicated as a major explanation for poor outcomes for special education and general education students alike. High quality instruction is the foundation of RTI and of obvious importance to the achievement of all students. In 2002, the President’s Commission on Excellence in Special Education recommended

Collaboration SLPs have a long history of working collaboratively with families, teachers, administrators, and other special service providers. SLPs play critical roles in collaboration around RTI efforts, including the following: • Assisting general education classroom teachers with universal screening • Participating in the development and implementation of progress monitoring systems and the analysis of student outcomes • Serving as members of intervention assistance teams, utilizing their expertise

There are, of course, challenges for educators working in districts that shift from the traditional approach to an RtI approach of early intervening. Such challenges include ensuring that RtI processes and procedures are not an “add on,” but a meaningful transformation of a traditional system, and that educator workload is adjusted to facilitate and support the positive and appropriate implementation of the process.
