WHY?WHY?

RTI is difficult to implement without a system and a partner

RTI is difficult to implement without a system and a partner

Frequent Progress Monitoring and intervention tracking creates paper management burden

Measuring student responses to intervention requires mental calculation and can be prone to error

Difficult to complete one-on-one assessments with consistent validity across entire district

Records can be difficult to track as students move between grade levels and schools, and longitudinal data is key to RTI

Steep learning curve requires consultative PD
