This is on the same topic but not necessarily a response to the question. Does anyone have any good forms for recording information for RTI? I know we can do simple anecdotals and of course running records. In particular I'm looking for records for classroom teachers and intervention teachers grades pk-5. All replies would be appreciated!

They may be addressing behaviors--he doesn't seem to retain information, and when he does, it's inconsistent. For example, a simple math practice sheet (addition) is done almost entirely correctly one day, and the next a very similar sheet has more wrong answers than right. Thank you! I plan to insist on a "pre-"intervention meeting w/ all involved.
