If you ask teachers and psychologists who are currently using this model for identification, they would tell you that this process requires the analysis of multiple data sources and if implemented correctly it is not any easier for a child to be identified. It will identify students based on their academic need and responsiveness to intervention however, not based on intellectual ability as identified though IQ tests. All efforts in an RtI system go toward early intervention with as much intensity as necessary to prevent special education. However, no matter how ideal an RtI system may be, there will still be some students who have disabilities in reading, written expression, or math. This is the mentality of a true RtI system. It is not about doing interventions to get them done so a referral can be made for special education. It is about doing interventions to prevent further intervention and at least to begin closing an achievement gap.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
