RTI Toolkit: A Practical Guide for Schools

  • This book, RTI Toolkit: A Practical Guide for Schools, was written to provide educators with the necessary guidance and tolls to implement Response to Intervention (RTI) in a school setting. A guiding philosophy of this book is that "the quality of a school as a learning community can be measured by how effectively it addresses the needs of struggling students." (Wright, 2006 p1) Schools are judged by their success in working with marginal learners who would otherwise fall through the cracks and become lost. RTI is a means to expand schools' capacity to reach and support diverse learners.
