About the Book

"Administrators and district staff development personnel will find this book highly useful. The material is clear-cut and reader-friendly." —Joshua Nichols, Building Special Education Supervisor Mountain Vista Community School, Colorado Springs, CO "This book is an excellent resource for educators and a great contribution to the field." —Barbara J. Trussell, Special Education Paraprofessional Harrison High School, Colorado Springs, CO Quick answers for everything you need to know about Response to Intervention! Increasingly, teachers are learning about the important role of Response to Intervention (RTI) in the success of every child. RTI is a multifaceted approach that provides immediate, relevant, and research-based services and interventions to students in general, compensatory, and special education. Written by two legal and special education experts, this concise, reader-friendly guide introduces educators to the purpose, core principles, legal basis, benefits, and application of this service delivery model. The step-by-step guidelines and informative appendices answer educators' most common questions, such as: Why is RTI important? What is a tiered service delivery model? How is screening and monitoring carried out? Is there federal funding to support RTI-related activities? What does the RTI process mean for teachers? Designed to help both general and special education teachers better understand this critical educational process, Frequently Asked Questions About Response to Intervention is a basic resource that educators at every level will turn to again and again.
