Implementing Response to Intervention
A Principal's Guide

Edited by:

Foreword by Elaine K. McEwan



February 2008 | 160 pages | Corwin
This school leader's guide to implementing Response to Intervention (RTI) for primary and junior school reading emphasizes the critical role managers play in ensuring RTI success in their schools and improving student outcomes. The author makes recommendations for putting the RTI process in motion and helps school leaders formulate a comprehensive assessment plan that includes an assessment calendar and a data management system; design a year-long staff development plan to train teachers in using data for making instructional decisions; use data in year-group, teacher, and parent meetings; and motivate staff for optimum success without overwhelming them.
