This book is a step-by-step guide to implementing Response to Intervention in middle and high schools to help students who struggle with academics and behavior.

The book can help RTI stakeholders * Promote understanding and support for RTI among classroom teachers and other staff. * Train teachers and other educators to clearly define student academic and behavioral problems. * Guide teachers to select and carry out effective classroom interventions at Tier 1. * Establish a school-wide screening program to use data to identify students at risk for learning or behavioral difficulties. * Develop a system of supplemental evidence-based interventions for struggling students at Tiers 2 and 3. * Create a strong Tier 3 RTI Problem-Solving Team to develop customized, intensive student intervention plans. This book is ideal for administrators, school psychologists, counselors, and teachers who are interested in bringing the positive power of RTI to their secondary schools.
