Beyond the RTI Pyramid

The RTI process involves targeting specific areas on which students are struggling and applying increasingly intensive research-proven interventions until the threat to learning is alleviated.

Using accessible, direct language, Beyond the RTI Pyramid: Solutions for the First Years of Implementation addresses the need to deepen response to intervention efforts based on practical implementation issues and emerging research. With Beyond the RTI Pyramid, both RTI novices and veterans will gain useful solutions to meet the learning needs of every student. Author William N. Bender
