What Types Of Assessments Will A District Need To Implement RTI?
In order to meet the instructional needs of all students, the United States Department of Education has charged schools with assessing all students including the economically disadvantaged, those who are English language learners and others who are struggling to learn. In order to effectively evaluate all students under the RTI model, the district must consider the data from assessments related to universal screening and progress monitoring. The district may also consider data from diagnostic assessments on a case by case basis to assess additional instructional needs. The National Research Center on Learning Disabilities (NRCLD) outlines these assessments by table including the purposes of each type of assessment within the RTI process.
