    Abstract: The Impact Evaluation of Response to Intervention (RtI) 
strategies will inform the National Assessment of IDEA 2004, and the 
choices of districts and schools, by estimating the differential 
impacts of strategies for providing Tier 2 reading instruction to at-
risk first and second graders. ED has awarded a contract to MDRC (in 
partnership with SRI International and Survey Research Management) to 
conduct this study in 150 elementary schools. This initial collection 
involves the site recruitment. The resulting RtI project will provide 
information that policymakers and school administrators can use to help 
identify students with learning disabilities and improve instruction 
provided to at-risk students.
