Abstract
The purpose of this multiple case study was to describe the extent to which Response to Intervention (RtI) was being implemented in a high school. This study described the roles, practices, and preparation of two English teachers and four math teachers implementing RtI in a small high school. In addition to describing the roles, practices, and preparation of teachers delivering RtI services, the study also examined the factors affecting RtI implementation. The methodologies for this study included interviews, observations, scales, and surveys. Analysis of data indicated that teachers roles and practices varied depending upon their content area expertise. Factors affecting the implementation of RtI were professional development, limited resources, screening process, and student behavior. Conclusions from the study indicated a need for professional development and opportunities for collaboration among regular educators and special educators.
