Providing students who do not respond to instruction with increasingly intensive levels of intervention is not a new concept in education -- but in the NCLB era, demonstrating effectiveness is even more important. This course is designed to review legal requirements for the use of scientifically based research. Included will be a glossary of pertinent terms, as well as practical classroom examples of how to select and implement interventions. Additionally, there will be resources cited for locating scientifically research-based interventions.

The 'I' in RTI: Selecting and Implementing Evidence-Based Interventions explains the components involved in the intervention process, plus gives you insights on:

• How to determine if an intervention is effective
• Tying the intervention process to data collection, analysis and interpretation
• Legal requirements for the use of scientifically based research
• Classroom examples of selecting and implementing interventions
• And more!
