Response to Intervention in Secondary schools
Posted by Beth DuBose on Feb 24, 2010
The National Center on Response to Intervention interviewed Dan Deshler about what work or research is currently being done around secondary RTI that we will see in the future.
He states that they are currently looking at middle and high schools that have implemented a RTI process and have been successful. They will look at what they are doing for universal screening, progress monitoring, and tiered instruction. Because Elementary schools typically have the same students all day, it is easier to administer tiered instruction to their students. What Deshler wants to find out is how are the middle and high schools that have been successful with RTI implementing tiered instruction. You can see the interview here.
Here are some studies and articles that describe Reading Horizons for RTI in Secondary education:
