  • A discussion of the challenges to successful implementation
  • A section on frequently asked questions

RTI: A Practitioner′s Guide to Implementing Response to Intervention is an invaluable resource that helps administrators increase the likelihood of success for students at risk and meet the requirements of NCLB, Reading First, and the reauthorization of IDEA 2004.
