Implementation of response to intervention within a problem-solving model focuses on the elementary level. However, when implemented at the secondary level, problem solving is targeted to more carefully align services to the needs of students. In particular, it provides targeted interventions either for students with severe basic-skill deficits or those who need content-area instructional support. This workshop provides applications that help identify students' academic needs (e.g., curriculum-based measurement) and presents effective secondary reading interventions that improve achievement in a three-tier problem-solving
model. The workshop also addresses strategies for shifting service-delivery models and the role of school psychologists.
