RTI

You will have to enter information in order to read these free articles on Response to Intervention.  I read the articles "RTI: An Approach on the March" and "States Adapting Best Practices from Special Ed for Standards. "

The first article discussed the practices already implemented in the McPherson schools.  I remember my School Psychologist discussing this last Spring regarding the shift of how students would be identified for Special Education.  Rather than slowing down the process for identifying students with special needs, I have already seen the RTI process work in my school, as we move students through interventions and also through the SAT process and then to a possible IEP.  Any comments on changes they are seeing in their schools with RTI or MTSS?  Have you seen students identified for Special Education after going through this process?  Do you see problems with this?  One problem I could see is if the interventions are not implemented effectively or for the amount of time needed?  Thoughts?
