Creating the Conditions for Success: A Case Study of Three Thompson School' RtI and PBIS Frameworks
The Study of success is central to the continuous improvement process (Fullan, 2010). In learning about success, we come to understand how we can expand individual pockets of excellence across multiple sites. Bringing good practices to scale is critical to the deep and lasting change required for ensuring student success within today's challenging educational environment (Coburn, 2003; Coleman and Shah-Coltrane, 2011). In this report we explore one school district's journey of RtI and PBIS implementation, examining the conditions and root causes of success for students with disabilities.

RtI Fidelity of Implementation Rubrics
Recognizing the need for strong guidance in RtI implementation, CDE has developed a set of fidelity tools to improve outcomes for students in Colorado. These fidelity tools will support a scaling up of effective practice across the state.
The RtI Implementation Rubrics are designed to assist districts, schools, and educators with the implementation of RtI. The tools provide the means to reflect on policies and practices from the classroom level, to the school district, and state level in order to continually improve outcomes for students. These tools are intended to be used statewide and provide needed support in a continuous improvement cycle. The rubrics can also assist districts in their work toward accomplishing their goal of systemic change for increased student achievement.
