What is Intervention Assistance Team (IAT)

Chapter 12
Advanced Strategies and Models for Integrating RTI in Secondary Schools
A team of stakeholders, typically teachers, school counselors, and administrators, who meet to discuss a struggling student. Typically, one teacher presents the student and explains the concerns. The team then discusses interventions and instructional strategies that they feel would assist the child. Next, the teacher tries the interventions for a specific period of time and reports back to the team on the progress or lack of progress made.

Abstract
The response to intervention (RTI) service delivery model has been incorporated at the elementary school level with success but is still lagging behind within the secondary school environment. This chapter demonstrates how two secondary schools, one a middle school and the other a high school, implemented the RTI model efficiently and effectively. The chapter shows that the RTI model can be successfully executed in different ways depending on a school's needs, funding, and personnel. The chapter provides details on the diagnostic practices, data collection methods, intervention strategies, administrative support, and professional development of each implemented model and includes insight from actual teachers and school counselors who participated in the implementations. A reflection on lessons learned from each school site is included.
