A Resource for Student Evaluation Personnel Working in Schools Implementing Response to Intervention (RtI)

This resource is for student evaluation personnel (educational diagnosticians, school psychologists, speech-language pathologists, remedial reading teachers, and other specialists) who collect, analyze, and report information to committees making instructional decisions. As more Texas schools opt to implement response to intervention (RtI) to prevent learning difficulties, student evaluation personnel will play increasingly major roles in collecting and interpreting student data, particularly regarding decisions about student eligibility for special education services (Fuchs & Fuchs, 2006).

It is organized in five sections:
- Key RtI concepts and legislation
- Roles of student evaluation personnel at the campus level
- Using RtI information in an individual student evaluation
- References and resources
- Tools
