E-newsletter: 
December 2009

REL Northeast published a report detailing the features of state response to intervention initiatives as evidenced by publicly available information from state education agency websites in nine Northeast and Islands Region jurisdictions. It found that seven jurisdictions have developed state documents on RTI that address core features of RTI identified by the National Research Center on Learning Disabilities: high quality classroom instruction, research-based instruction, classroom performance, universal screening, continuous progress monitoring, research-based interventions, progress monitoring during interventions, and fidelity measures.
