The National Center on Response to Intervention has issued its first call for instructional programs! Now through January 29th, the Center’s Technical Review Committee is accepting submissions of instructional programs that can be used in RTI. In order to qualify for review, programs must be designed to be delivered in small groups or individually, over a minimum of 60 minutes a week for 8 weeks. All interested vendors and developers are invited to submit programs, including studies demonstrating program efficacy, for review. For full details, see our Call for Tools  information package. If you would like to submit a program for review, see the Standard Protocol for Submission .
New Screening Tools Chart Released
We recently released our new Screening Tools Chart, which evaluates reading and math screening tools. This chart represents the results of the second annual review of screening tools by the Center’s Technical Review Committee (TRC). The chart contains information to assist educators in making informed decisions about scientifically-based screening tools. You can find the new Screening Tools Chart and information about the review process in the Tools/Interventions section of our website.
