In this assignment you will examine Response to Intervention (RTI) and Evidence Based Practices (EBP) and examine at least 3 Evidence Based Practices that can be used in RTI settings. RTI settings allow for a lot of room related to program delivery so you should be able to examine how RTI and EBP are connected in real life classrooms. You should also examine the role of evidence based practices and the criteria that you used to determine if these interventions were adequately vetted classroom practices. This paper is not to be lengthy – a maximum of 5 pages. The assignment rubric will be used for this assignment but feedback will be in comments about your submission. This paper should reflect the professional literature – not your opinion. As stated previously – no personal pronouns, please.
