The authors, Kimberly Gibbons and Matthew K. Burns, leverage their extensive backgrounds in school psychology and educational leadership to provide a structured manual for administrators and educators. They argue that successful RTI integration requires a rigorous, data-driven approach that aligns instructional interventions with student performance metrics across all tiers of support.
