IDEA Partnership On-line Resource:
http://www.ideapartnership.org/page.cfm?pageid=58">Together on RTI: A Collection of Free Resources Selected by National Organizations for Their Members
Working through the IDEA Partnership, national organizations have come together around Response-to-Intervention (RTI). To help their members understand the basic concepts, engage in state and local discussions and become active in RTI Implementation; they worked together to create a customized collection based in the research and training materials developed by national technical assistance centers. In December 2007, states, technical assistance centers and national organizations came together in the National Summit on Response-to-Intervention. Building on that event, national organizations are currently advancing their shared interest in RTI by disseminating this compilation of links to trustworthy sources of information that will be continually updated. These resources have been developed and/or selected by practitioners and families. They provide tools and training materials for immediate use as well as links to websites that will continually produce high quality information.
