This collaborative report summarizes what the High School Tiered Interventions Initiative (HSTII) has learned about effective implementation of MTSS/RTI in high schools. It provides a brief description of the MTSS/RTI framework and the essential components of MTSS/RTI, illustrates how the essential components of MTSS/RTI are implemented at eight high schools, and highlights contextual factors unique to high schools as well as how these factors can affect school-level implementation of tiered interventions.
RTI for English Language Learners: Appropriately Using Screening and Progress Monitoring Tools to Improve Instructional Outcomes
This brief models how students' linguistic, cultural, and experiential backgrounds can guide appropriate screening, progress monitoring, and goal setting that will help promote English literacy. The brief concludes with a case study that provides specific recommendations for how to apply screening and progress monitoring with ELLs. The accompanying placemat was developed to provide an overview of specific considerations for ELLs when implementing the four essential components of a tiered system of supports.
RTI Scheduling Processes for Middle School
