 Take 60 seconds in pairs to come up with a list of as many reasons for or benefits of using RtII for behavioral needs. WHY RTII FOR BEHAVIOR?

 Safer schools  Safer, more productive community  Higher academic achievement  More academic engagement  Less truancy  Lower dropout rates  Happier teachers  Find kids at risk for social/emotional/behavioral problems and intervene early  Universal screening catches the internalizers too  For some kids, school is the only place where they can get emotional and behavioral support WHY RTII FOR BEHAVIOR:

 13 Respondents  The following graphs present the responses in each of the 8 categories in the form of a mean score for each option (possible score of 0-5)  0 = Bad Idea  5 = Great Idea BEHAVIORAL RTII SURVEY
