RTI Toolkit: A Practical Guide for Schools
Book Excerpt
(Introduction)
This book, RTI
Toolkit: A Practical Guide for Schools, was written to provide
educators with the necessary guidance and tolls to implement
Response to Intervention (RTI in a school setting. A guiding
philosophy of this book is that "the quality of a school as a learning
community can be measured by how effectively it addresses the needs of
struggling students." (Wright, 2006 p1) Schools are judged by their success
in working with marginal learners who would otherwise fall through the
cracks and become lost. RTI is a means to expand schools' capacity to reach
and support diverse learners.
