This is the place to share stories and showcase your RTI successes. Educators and families talk about what they did, the challenges they faced, the outcomes of their efforts, and advice they would give others. Take advantage of this rich opportunity to gain insights from the experiences and wisdom of others.
April 16, 2012 Response to Intervention at Pear Park Elementary School Written by Elaine Fletemeyer "Teachers are now very comfortable with the RtI process and are seeing the benefits. It is a striking reminder of how far we have come when we receive students who are coming to us without any RtI records. This is shocking to our teachers, and they are now strong advocates for RtI!"
— Elaine Fletemeyer, Literacy Interventionist-Coach and RtI Coordinator at Pear Park Elementary School in District #51, Grand Junction, Colorado 
February 08, 2012 RTI Implementation at Cheyenne Mountain Junior High School Written by Lori Smith "Take a few risks with your master schedule, instructional practices, and RtI processes to learn what works best in your school environment. Stay with it, use data to drive your decision-making, and involve as many school staff as possible as you initiate RtI in your school."
— Lori Smith is principal at Cheyenne Mountain Junior High in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
December 28, 2011 Delaware’s Early Childhood RTI Project Written by Verna Thompson "The final and most important reason that the RTI project is a success is that 90% of the children who were identified as being at risk of having learning disabilities for the past three years made substantial progress while being involved in the project."
— Verna Thompson is an Education Associate in the Delaware Department of Education Early Development and Learning Resources office.
September 13, 2011 RtI Implementation at Weld Re-4 Schools Written by Shirley Jirik, Ed.D. My advice to others would be to stick with it!· Even when times seem tough, and the waters seem uncharted, there is a purpose for what you are trying to do. Taking steps to make the K-12 public education system better for ALL students can start with one teacher in the classroom who goes that extra step to differentiate their instruction so all the students have access to it.
— Dr. Shirley Jirik, Teacher on Specific Assignment (RTI) in the Weld Re-4 School District in Colorado.
August 17, 2011 The Road to RTI Written by Karen Kemp and Peggy O'Shea While not yet over, our journey has proven worthwhile for everyone involved. Students are now viewed as individuals who may take different routes during their travels, while staff and parents have a common purpose—helping all students successfully reach their achievement destinations.
— Karen Kemp, Director of Special Programs, and Peggy O'Shea, Assistant Superintendent for Education Services at the Cohoes City School District, Cohoes, New York.
