Born out of the 2004 reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Response to Intervention works to raise students' achievement through modification of lesson plans paired with frequent progress monitoring to see if those interventions are enough to help students with learning delays catch up, rather than ‘waiting’ for them to fail. As adoption of the RTI model grows, educators and administrators are eager to find resources that describe the theory behind it and provide useful guidelines for its effective implementation. Packaged in the user-friendly Essentials series format, and authored by two RTI experts, Essentials of Response to Intervention provides just that resource. This book will provide a concise overview of the essential features of RTI, instruction for its implementation, and post-implementation guidelines forassessing whether the program has been effective.Amanda M.
