This book is an excellent tool for assisting general education teachers who are beginning the RTI process or just want some assistance with some students in their classes. It has great academic and behavior strats. They are easy to implement and document for progress monitoring purposes.

One of the best evidence-based school interventions book that I have read. Interventions are layed out step by step each with guidelines on how to monitor progress for the intervention. Many interventions are group interventions, but many can be adapted to individual students. This book is a must have for any individual/school wanting to have a resource on hand to help them implement evidence-based interventions as part of the RTI process.

No one contests the premise that education is the bedrock upon which the economic future of the American nation is founded. What varies among contesting views on education are what strategies and approaches are best to maximize student academic performance. Now in an newly expanded and updated second edition, "Effective School Interventions: Evidence-Based Strategies For Improving Student Outcomes" by Natalie Rathvon (Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychology at The George Washington University) is a comprehensive and scholarly study organized into two major sections: 'The Intervention Assistance Approach To Improving Student Outcomes' and 'Evidence-Based School Interventions'. This new edition has been expanded to include new features and resources including additional guidance on legal issues and ethics for practitioners who are part of team-based intervention assistance programs; a 'cross-reference box' to help readers locate strategies in other sections or chapters with similar components but different targets; 'Special topics sections' highlighting key concepts, critical issues, and best practices; an an appendix for each of the four intervention chapters helping readers in quickly locating appropriate strategies and comparing strategies within the same domains. Exhaustive, comprehensive, superbly organized and presented, this new edition of "Effective School Interventions" is a core and seminal addition to professional and academic library Educational Studies & Practices reference collections and reading lists.
