I bought this book in an effort to improve our academic and behavioral building intervention systems. I was looking for ways yo merge the two teams for efficiency and to improve student learning. There are great resources in the book that can be copied or modified for your own school. I have purchased copies for the chairs of our team, and our next step is a book study to improve and streamline our practices.

Great resource for improving the three tiers of support at any school at any level. Provides great examples of different types of students and how schools can meet their unique and individualized needs. Fantastic tool to use for improving schools and interventions for all students.

I like PD books by these authors but this one was fairly uninspiring. Not as detailed as other books that focus on academic or behavioral sides of RTI. Lots of case studies which can be nice to read to see what it looks like in action, but not a book I’d recommend.
