RTI Applications, Volume 1

“The authors provide an excellent framework for selecting academic and behavioral interventions. The use of the ‘instructional hierarchy’ will help educators make theory-based descisions that will enhance practice. This is a valuable tool for school-based practitioners, university educators, and students. Providing many hands-on examples, the book would serve well as a text in practicum classes focused on academic or behavioral interventions.” - Mike Vanderwood, University of California, Riverside, USA “A valuable resource for educators looking to improve academic and behavioral interventions in the context of RTI. Readers will gain an understanding of how to select, implement, and evaluate interventions at Tiers 1, 2, and 3 of the RTI model, while using data to guide decision making at every step. The authors provide detailed information about a range of academic and behavioral interventions for individual students, groups, classrooms, or entire schools. As a trainer of school psychologists, I can see this book being used as a text in graduate courses addressing school consultation, assessment, and intervention.” - Angela J. Whalen, University of Oregon, USA
