The National Center on Response to Intervention, http://www.rti4success.org/, provides a wealth of resources, plus evidence-based tools/interventions.
The RTI Action Network, http://www.rtinetwork.org/, shared documented ways to fund RTI strategies by effective use of ARRA funding. The free RTI Action Network webcasts may eithr be viewed in real time or accessed in the listed archives. Presentations by national experts, including Don Dresher, Jack Fletcher, and Lynn Fuchs, clearly share specific findings from recent research. These webcasts can be a valuable tool in professional development.
Reading Instruction Co. offers the following sessions to support full implementation of RTI in your school district.
Using SBRI and RTI TO Help ALL Students Become Successful Readers
Scientific-Based-Reading-Instruction (SBRI) and Response-to-Intervention (RTI) are not simply current "buzz words" in reading education, but reference realistic ways that schools can significantly increase student achievement in reading, especially for those students struggling to learn to read. School leadership teams, including superintendents, principals, and district/school Special Education and Title I professional staff will have an opportunity to further develop and enhance their knowledge of how they can systematically implement RTI so it becomes institutionalized within their schools and consistently improves student reading achievement.
Implementing Tiered Instruction: Meeting Literacy Needs of Diverse Learners
Tiered reading instruction holds great promise for reducing overall reading problems in the elementary schools. School-wide approach to effective reading instruction includes:

Implementing Tiered Instruction: Meeting Literacy Needs of Diverse Learners
Tiered reading instruction holds great promise for reducing overall reading problems in the elementary schools. School-wide approach to effective reading instruction includes:
- Tier 1 where the teacher uses the core reading program (or basal) to provide instruction to all students, both in whole group format and in small, flexible groups.
- By analyzing assessment data, the teacher identifies those students who need additional, targeted instruction delivered daily in a small group (beyond time and place designated for Tier I instruction). While Tier 2 instruction is often delivered by the classroom teachers, some schools use other professionals to provide Tier 2 reading instruction/intervention.
- Progress monitoring of students receiving instruction in both Tiers 1 and 2 can result in the identification of the students whose reading achievement has not yet met expectations. These students are then identified for Tier 3, a more intensive and more sustained level of additional reading instruction/intervention. In most schools, students in Tier 3 are provided the additional daily instruction by interventionists.
- Remember: Students served in both Tier 1 and Tier 2 OR students served in both Tier 1 and Tier 3 you may see, But students served in both Tier 2 and Tier 3, may never be!
