This Education Policy Brief provides readers with a broad overview of Response to Intervention (RTI). Response to Intervention refers to an integrated, schoolwide method of service delivery across general and special education that promotes successful school outcomes for all students. This brief first discusses the impetus behind RTI, which stems from flaws in the current special education system and specifically in the ability-achievement model for identifying learning disabilities. Next, it describes the principal components of RTI and highlights several model RTI programs around the country. Finally, it makes policy recommendations for the implementation of RTI in Indiana. (Contains 1 endnote and a brief list of Web resources.) [This policy brief was produced by the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy, Indiana State University School of Education; and Indiana Institute on Disability and Community. For Education Policy Brief. Volume 4, Number 7, Summer 2006, see ED493108.].

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of Response to Intervention (RTI) in a rural Tennessee high school. The research reviewed achievement scores from the state-required end-of-course (EOC) testing and universal screener. In addition, the number of office disciplinary referrals and special education referrals were examined in relation to the implementation of interventions. While there was no significant difference between the groups on the value-added scores, there remained a significant difference between the control group and the four intervention groups. The number of behavioral incidents has declined over the last 4 years; however, the number of special education referrals has increased.
