Misguided Education Reform: Debating the Impact on Students argues for reforms that will help, not hurt, America’s public school students. Early childhood education, testing, reading, special education, discipline, loss of the arts, and school facilities, are all areas experiencing reform in the wrong direction. This book says “no” to the reforms that fail, and challenges Americans to address the real student needs that will fix public schools and make America strong.

Response to Intervention (RTI) is an intervention model designed to assist all students regardless of their academic ability. It seeks to assist students who are struggling in academics by providing them with targeted assistance in the form of tutoring, pull-out services, and differentiated classroom instruction. Examining Response to Intervention (RTI) Models in Secondary Education highlights the application of the RTI model to secondary schools through instructional strategies and real-world examples of how this model can be used at the middle and high school levels. Through a series of informative and timely chapters written by global educational specialists, this publication is ideally designed for use by middle and high school teachers and school administrators as well as professors and students in upper-level Educational Leadership and Secondary Education programs.

The sequel to Pyramid Response to Intervention advocates that a successful RTI model begins by asking the right questions to create a fundamentally effective learning environment for every student. RTI is not a series of implementation steps, but rather a way of thinking. Understand why bureaucratic, paperwork-heavy, compliance-oriented, test-score-driven approaches fail. Then learn how to create a focused RTI model that works.

As a result of NCLB legislation and the reauthorization of IDEA 2004, Response to Intervention (RTI) is now a mandated process for documenting the existence or nonexistence of a learning disability. For educators new to the RTI approach, Response to Intervention presents an overview of key concepts with guidelines for accountability practices that benefit students in inclusive classrooms. Presenting the three tiers of RTI techniques, the authors demonstrate how general and special education teachers can use research-based interventions effectively to individualize instruction, monitor individual student progress, and implement strategies to meet the specific needs of all students. Response to Intervention assists educators with the basic and necessary steps to provide students with a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE), and includes: Vignettes, examples, and forms based on the problem-solving and standards-based approaches to RTI A chapter illustrating how RTI techniques benefit students who are economically underprivileged and/or culturally and linguistically diverse A chapter devoted to Frequently Asked Questions Featuring helpful charts and reproducibles, this timely resource is sure to become a valuable guide as educators implement programs to document how individual students respond to specific educational interventions.

As students enter middle schools across the country, many of them lack the literacy skills needed to access content-area knowledge. Response to Intervention (RtI) is an intervention model that is helping students find success at the elementary level, but there are few studies and models that are appropriate for the middle-school level in helping students access literacy skills. One of the barriers that prevent middle schools from being able to use elementary RtI practices is the need for a comprehensive literacy program that will allow students to succeed in mastering the content standards. This research investigated effective ways to implement RtI in a middle-school setting while promoting the acquisition of literacy skills. Formative assessment theory informs the problem of practice by providing the lens from which RtI and literacy integration can be achieved in the middle-school setting. The overarching research question for this study was: What is the process by which a suburban, East Coast, middle school designed and implemented Tier 1 Response to Intervention (RtI) strategies in their classrooms and what perceived impact have these strategies had on improving the literacy skills and access to content-specific knowledge for students? This research question was answered using data collected and analyzed from a descriptive, single case study of one middle school in Central Massachusetts. The findings showed that RtI is necessary for students who need extra support. Teachers felt the different aspects of the professional development they received highlighting RtI and the Workshop Model was both a positive and negative experience depending on the content area. Teachers and administrators believed there were benefits of the Workshop Model. The findings also demonstrated that literacy integration benefited all students and requires collaboration among teachers. Lastly, the findings showed that RtI required commitment from both teachers and administrators.

Few evidence-based resources exist for supporting elementary and secondary students who require intensive intervention--typically Tier 3 within a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS). Filling a gap in the field, this book brings together leading experts to present data-based individualization (DBI), a systematic approach to providing intensive intervention which is applicable to reading, math, and behavior. Key components of the DBI process are explained in detail, including screening, progress monitoring, and the use and ongoing adaptation of validated interventions. The book also addresses ways to ensure successful, sustained implementation and provides application exercises and FAQs. Readers are guided to access and utilize numerous free online DBI resources--tool charts, planning materials, sample activities, downloadable forms, and more.
