"The Center for Response to Intervention in Early Childhood: Using Early Detection and Prevention Strategies to Identify Struggling Students Before They Fall Behind IES research scientist Kristen Lauer interviewed principal investigators Judith Carta and Charles Greenwood on their thoughts about the Center for Response to Intervention in Early Childhood (CRTIEC) that began in July 2008. This 5-year project is conducting focused research to develop and rigorously evaluate and replicate intensive interventions for preschool language and early literacy skills and develop and validate an assessment system linked to these interventions. In addition, the research team is providing national leadership on development and implementation of Response to Intervention (RtI) models for young children and conduct supplementary studies related to RtI and assessment issues. The Center's long-term goal is to prevent disabilities in reading by increasing the number of young children who enter school with knowledge and skill in early literacy and language."

"Response to Intervention (RtI) has been described in Florida as a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) for providing high quality instruction and intervention matched to student needs using learning rate over time and level of performance to inform instructional decisions. Phase 1 of implementation for Problem-solving and Response to Instruction/Intervention, came to a close in 2011. Phase II of the statewide implementation of a MTSS has emerged. Read more about the history and future of MTSS in Florida."

" The Florida Response to Intervention (RtI) website provides a central, comprehensive location for Florida-specific information and resources that promote schoolwide practices to ensure highest possible student achievement in both academic and behavioral pursuits. "

"This Toolkit provides a clear vision of best practice related to an RTI-based SLD Identification process. With this vision, school systems can develop structures to ensure that the identification process for specific learning disabilities facilitates decision making about instructional decisions to improve outcomes for students.

Response to Intervention (RTI): Is There a Role for Assistive Technology?

This paper, "Frameworks for Response to Intervention in Early Childhood: Description and Implications," has been jointly developed by the Division for Early Childhood of the Council for Exceptional Children, the National Association for the Education of Young Children, and the National Head Start Association. The purpose of the joint paper is to define early childhood response-to-intervention frameworks and to promote a broader understanding and discussion of the topic.

"The CCRS Center, in partnership with the Center on Great Teachers and LeadersExternal Links icon (GTL Center) and RTI InternationalExternal Links icon, developed Integrating Employability Skills: A Framework for All Educators, a Professional Learning Module (PLM), to support regional comprehensive centers, state educational agency staff, and state regional centers in building their knowledge and capacity to integrate and prioritize employability skills at the state and local levels. This interactive module - a collection PowerPoint slides, handouts, sample agenda, a workbook and tools for individuals or state workgroups, and a facilitator's guide - provides the following activities:"

Early-reading expert Richard Allington believes response to intervention is possibly "our last, best hope" for achieving full literacy in the United States. So why does he sound so unhopeful?

"Beginning in 2013, for the next five years these grant dollars will be used to help develop an infrastructure for implementing the Utah Multi-Tiered System of Supports (UMTSS) at the state and Local Education Agency (LEA) level by creating models of successful implementation of evidence-based professional development that can be scaled up across the state."

"Some instructional approaches associated closely with special education are gaining traction more quickly than ever as more states and districts look to them as the ideal tools to implement the Common Core State Standards. In particular, two strategies-universal design for learning and response to intervention-are being cited by states in requests for waivers from the No Child Left Behind Act in the section about how they will implement the standards."
