Analysis of Indiana's Implementation of Response to Intervention

Client: Indiana Department of Education
Term: July 2008–June 2009

The Center for Evaluation and Education Policy (CEEP) was contracted by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) in July 2008 to conduct a study on the implementation of Response to Intervention (RTI) in the state of Indiana. RTI is a school-wide, integrative framework of service delivery for addressing the needs of all students which embeds best practice and effective instruction in the classroom as well as scientific, research-based intervention. For the 2008-09 evaluation study CEEP used various qualitative techniques to gather information regarding the degree to which participating districts/schools have successfully implemented RTI so that improved student outcomes can be realized. These techniques included a statewide survey on RTI implementation, site visits with school personnel, and a three-part Special Report series on the foundations of the RTI framework including Indiana’s six core components.
