Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the readiness of one middle school to implement an RTI framework under the AIS provision of the state education regulations. The study took place amongst the ELA department of a suburban middle school and data collected included teacher questionnaires and interviews as well as an observation of a department meeting. The data showed that assets and barriers existed. The primary asset was the knowledge and expertise of the teaching staff and their willingness to make changes. The barriers included scheduling, communication, and lack of a clear vision for curriculum and pedagogical practices.
