*Essential school psychology tool, revised and expanded: 25% new material includes a chapter on MTSS (now the field's prevailing framework) and a chapter on assessment planning and decision making. *Since its original publication (2007), the demand for behavior assessments has increased and new and evolving tools have been developed. *Novice practitioners working with 5- to 17-year-olds (grades K-12) will find a complete guide; experienced assessors will find greater depth on specific methods. *Includes detailed case studies and downloadable forms.

*Update of a successful text and indispensable practitioner reference: 30% new material includes 20 new interventions. *Highly practical: presents 83 academic and behavioral interventions for 4- to 17-year-olds in an accessible, uniform format. *All interventions are evidence based, meeting the need for accountability. *Now specifies the intensity of each intervention (classwide, small-group, and/or individual) and includes downloadable reproducible tools. *Over 35,000 in print; sales are supported by author workshops.

*The most accessible single-case design resource, thoroughly revised; 30% new material includes a new chapter and an even greater emphasis on practical applications. *Critical need--gives practitioners skills to document the effects of an intervention and create a data-based educational plan, crucial for accountability. *With clear, practical examples, distills for educators how to collect and analyze data to evaluate an intervention's efficacy. *Reoriented to align perfectly with multi-tiered systems of support and current evidence-based practices. *Includes reproducible graphs and other tools; appendices provide guides to analyzing and presenting data in Excel.

Once a response-to-intervention (RTI) framework is in place, how can educators determine whether or not interventions are working? This volume focuses on the "response" component of RTI, providing crucial knowledge and hands-on techniques for assessing the effectiveness of RTI practices in grades K-12. The authors show how to select suitable assessment measures, analyze data about academic and behavioral interventions, and make defensible decisions about groups, individual students, and special education eligibility. Professional development strategies are also addressed. Useful reproducible tools are included; the large-size format facilitates photocopying. Purchasers also get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials. This book is in the Guilford Practical Interventions in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas. See also RTI Applications, Volume 1: Academic and Behavioral Interventions, which covers how to select appropriate interventions and implement them with integrity.

This book addresses a crucial aspect of sustaining a response-to-intervention (RTI) framework in a school: selecting interventions with the greatest likelihood of success and implementing them with integrity. Leading RTI experts explain how to match interventions to students' proficiency levels, drawing on cutting-edge research about the stages of learning. Effective academic and behavioral interventions for all three tiers of RTI are described in step-by-step detail and illustrated with vivid case examples. In a convenient large-size format, the book features more than 40 reproducible planning tools and other helpful forms. Purchasers also get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials. This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas. See also RTI Applications, Volume 2: Assessment, Analysis, and Decision Making, which provides tools for assessing the effectiveness of RTI practices.
