Staff Who Work With Schools: Please Complete Important RtI Survey

Collaborating for Iowa’s Kids (C4K)—the partnership between the Iowa Department of Education, AEAs and local schools—is conducting an important survey from April 26 to May 3 to determine the state’s readiness to support the new response to intervention (RtI) data system, assessments and early literacy supports. 

C4K’s initial priority focus, collective efforts and resources are on early literacy. All elementary schools, districts and AEAs are being asked to complete the survey for the scale up of RtI in Iowa as part of a statewide effort to improve early literacy results. This survey will help identify the first group of schools that will have free access to the RtI data system, assessments, training, support and coaching. The survey also will also help guide development of statewide, regional and local resources and supports. 

District superintendents, principals and teachers and AEA administrators and staff who work with schools are asked to complete the survey. Results of the survey will be available to each AEA for planning purposes. 

The survey will be active until the end of the day Friday, May 3, and will take less than 10 minutes to complete. Please take a few minutes this week to complete this survey as we begin the important collaborative work of RtI as a state.
