Began in 2004-05 with 7
elementary schools
6 additional schools were trained
each year
Currently, 32 elementary &

Central Review Process
RtI in NHCS
2
Question for Discussion: Please Discuss with 2-3 Neighbors
What makes RtI an effective approach
for classrooms, grade levels, schools, districts, and states?
3
According to NCRtI… Universal Screening
(to identify who we work with), Multi-level Prevention System
(to identify what we do), Progress Monitoring
(to identify if what we are doing is working), and Data-Based Decision Making
(to make use of the assessment data in meaningful ways that will benefit students).

What’s Good for the Goose…Mary Boscardin (2007) applied RtI and Problem
Solving to district/school leadership practices.
Responsive Leadership Intervention Gathering data, Analyzing data,
Developing/implementing plans of action consistent with empirically supported
practices, and Evaluating outcomes and impacts.
Boscardin, M. L. (2007). What is special about special education administration? Considerations for school leadership. Exceptionality, 15(3), 189-200.

We wanted to know…
What is the general consensus about RtI from a personnel and parent perspective?
What is working well?
What needs to work better?
6
We Modified an Existing Survey The Florida Project Problem Solving and
Response to Intervention:
School Personnel Satisfaction Survey
And, we modeled a Parent/Guardian Satisfaction Survey after it.
For more evaluation tools

should focus on next based on the results?
Why? Discuss with 2-3 Neighbors. 72% personnel satisfied with
reading 68% personnel satisfied with math 55% personnel satisfied with
behavior 73% parents satisfied with RtI
process
