Pamela Radford: Before implementing another intervention, ongoing integrity checks of the intervention should be assessed. The purpose is to help students be successful by identifying what works, rather than what was or was not implemented. In my experience, when interventions are not implemented with integrity it is because implementers are asked to implement interventions with little training and ongoing support. RtI is about providing better tools, training and support to ALL staff. We need to move away from blaming staff for not implementing interventions and shift to how can we support successful implementation. A basic philosophical belief of RtI is that everyone is responsible for improving outcomes for all the students.
