Before I came to UP, I was working as a research liaison between UO and 4j on their RTI project. I have developed an RTI Assessment Rubric that was used in UO_4j OSEP RTI model demonstration project. This rubric can be used in the classroom level, as well as in the school level. It is best used in the RTI team meeting. If you need the rubric, just ask. My email address is liu@up.edu.

To be honest, some teachers resist diagnostic assessments because the data might induce them to differentiate instruction—a daunting task for any teacher.
