Description: "This authoritative book analyzes the key components of RTI (response to intervention) and the characteristics of successful implementation. It summarizes the research on interventions and data-based decision making in core content areas and for different student populations. A much-needed resource, the book will help practitioners reflect on their current practices and optimize the promise of RTI for supporting all students' academic and behavioral success. The volume is clearly organized and grounded in the latest empirical evidence. It explains the basics of RTI and describes research-based practices in multi-tier intervention, assessment, and data-based decision making. Methods for evaluating RTI service delivery and enhancing intervention fideliry are discussed. Chapters on specific content areas - reading, writing, math, and behavior - present effective approaches to instruction and intervention that are compatible with a multi-tier framework. Intervention protocols are outlined and illustrated with examples, and guidelines are provided for selecting appropriate interventions for particular situations and grade levels (K-12). The contributors draw on state-of-the-art knowledge about the nature of learning difficulties and how to prevent and remediate them at the level of the whole class, small group, or individual student. Every chapter also identifies important directions for future research." "School psychologists, administrators, special educators, and classroom teachers will find indispensable guidance and tools in this book. It also will fill a unique niche in graduate-level courses such as Introduction to School Psychology, Methods of Teaching Students with Learning and Behavior Problems, and Academic Interventions."--Jacket.
