Over at Ed Week, Christina Samuels has a story about response to intervention. Under the headline “High Schools Try Out RTI,” she points out that using RtI with students in secondary schools requires adaptations: “Using the framework with older students poses challenges, but shows promise.”
“Response to intervention” as a model for boosting student achievement has taken off like wildfire.
When it comes to research on how best to implement the process for students in middle and high school, though, the flame abruptly fizzles out. There’s little RTI research that is specific to secondary schools, although it has been well studied at the elementary level.
Link to Ms. Samuels’ article (subscription required, but one can read a few articles every so often by adding one’s address to a mailing list). Also, for those who’ve not discovered it yet, Teach Effectively has a set of slides by Charles Hughes and Don Deshler that addresses how RtI may be applied in secondary schools.
