The Leadership Network asks its participants to provide information on their schools implementing Response to Intervention in order to assess the Leadership Network’s impact on leadership skills as well as student and school performance.
Through collecting school report card data and the number of special education and disciplinary referrals, the RTI Action Network was able to measure the 2010-2011 Leadership Network’s impact on schools. See the data from the 2010-2011 Leadership Network below.
