Plus schools: planning learning with unified supports piloting the problem solving approach and response to intervention
The "PLUS" pilot project schools are working to implement the "problem solving" or "response to intervention" (RTI) approach that has been part of national discussions of both the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) and the reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Implementation of the approach includes a focus on interventions within and beyond the Personal Literacy Plan (PLP) process and using response to intervention (RTI) as part of the disability determination process. With the changes in federal legislation (IDEA), these schools are positioning themselves to meet new expectations as well as to share their learning with other schools. Although on-going initiative in the schools, the formal project occurred in 2004 and 2005. Learn More
