WHY?WHY?
RTI is difficult to implement without a system and a partner
RTI is difficult to implement without a system and a partner
Frequent Progress Monitoring and intervention tracking creates paper management burden
Measuring student responses to intervention requires mental calculation and can be prone to error
Difficult to complete one-on-one assessments with consistent validity across entire district
Records can be difficult to track as students move between grade levels and schools, and longitudinal data is key to RTI
Steep learning curve requires consultative PD
