Abstract
This mixed-method study investigated how two schools implemented RtI² and what core components of RtI² the faculty and staff perceived as priorities for implementation. Participants included teachers, school psychologists, and administrators at two schools with similar demographics. The study included a self-assessment survey, document analysis, the observation of staff development and classroom and grade-level team meetings, followed by focus-group interviews. Rankings of the core components of RtI² varied for each school based on the school culture, resources, and needs. The two schools in this study experienced very different issues, concerns, and strengths; all of which may inform other schools anticipating implementation of RtI².
