Response to Intervention: An Opportunity for School Counselor Leadership
Ryan, Theresa; Kaffenberger, Carol J.; Carroll, Amy Gleason
Professional School Counseling, v14 n3 p211-221 Feb 2011
This article describes a novel implementation of a response to intervention (RTI) model at the elementary school level, with particular focus on the role of the school counselor. The RTI process was used with all K-2 students as a way of delivering research-based best practice to all students, and as a way of documenting the educational progress of students identified as at risk for school problems. A member of the development and implementation team, the school counselor collected data to estimate the impact of the model on student progress after the first year of data collection. The article also shares implications for the role of the elementary school counselor. (Contains 3 tables and 4 figures.)
