The second edition gives increased attention to optimizing the instructional environment in the context of a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS). Procedures are described for screening at-risk students; using RTI to intensify instruction in reading, writing, and math; identifying SLD; determining eligibility for special education; and planning individualized education programs.
