The RTI Essential Components Integrity Rubric and the RTI Essential Components Integrity Worksheet are for use by individuals responsible for monitoring the school-level fidelity of Response to Intervention (RTI) implementation. They may also be used by schools for self-appraisal; however, they were not designed for compliance monitoring and therefore should not be used for this purpose. The rubric and the worksheet are designed to be used together and are aligned with the essential components of RTI.
The purposes of this study were to examine efficacy of first-grade preventive instruction, to assess math disability (MD) prevalence and severity as a function of method with and without instruction, and to explore pretreatment cognitive abilities associated with development.
