IMPROVING THE RTI PROCESS IN GREENE COUNTY SCHOOLS

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive process to improve the implementation of RTI in an elementary school. Improvement Science was the approach used to assist in identifying the problem and created strategies to improve the standardization of an RTI process for Greene County Schools. The RTI process was not specifically enunciated in Greene County and therefore, teachers were unsure of a process to follow as well as how to document the process a student is making. RTI was originally implemented without formal guidelines and operational procedures. Therefore, it was necessary to develop these guidelines and operational procedures for this improved RTI process to function effectively to meet the needs of students and teachers in Greene County.
