Abstract
This research, conducted in a Northwest Florida Title I elementary school, focused on implementation issues regarding the district's recently adopted Response to Intervention (RTI) process. The purpose of this study was to answer the question: "What experiences do school-based professionals have with the newly implemented RTI process?" This study further focused on RTI implementation issues as teachers endeavored to apply RTI in an effort to improve instructional delivery practices to low-achieving students. The determination of the implementation issues and the explanation of the teachers' experiences were done through a qualitative content analysis of focus groups, document review, and follow up interviews. Relevant implementation themes include (a) training, (b) parental involvement, (c) materials, (d) strategies to implement, (e) additional assistance, (f) sufficient time in classroom, (g) RTI documentation, and (h) characteristics of RTI. The results of this study should be used to further determine the effectiveness of the process used to implement RTI.
