Join the GATE and national expert, Dr. Howie Knoff for a conversation on Response to Intervention systems and his new book:  Implementing Response-to-Intervention at the School, District, and State Levels: Functional Assessment, Data-based Problem Solving, and Evidence-based Academic and Behavioral Interventions

Response-to-Intervention (RtI) involves evaluating the degree that students (a) master academic material in response to effective instruction and (b) demonstrate appropriate, prosocial behavior in response to effective classroom management. When students are not progressing or “responding,” academically or behaviorally, to effective instructional conditions, RtI includes a functional assessment/problem solving process to determine the reason(s) for the lack of success, and the implementation of strategic through intensive interventions to help those students progress and be successful. At an operational level, RtI is often described as working within a flexible, three-tiered system that is guided by students’ academic and behavioral outcomes.

This E-Book represents the most comprehensive, up-to-date single-authored volume on Response-to-Intervention (RtI). Based on Dr. Howie Knoff’s experience in implementing RtI at the school, district, and state levels, and his extensive research in the field, this “how-to” book discusses step-by-step RtI implementation from a practitioner’s perspective, including how to conduct a systematic, data-based, functional assessment, problem solving process.
