 It is both necessary and worthwhile to apply the principles of problem solving (PS)/RtI to all schoolwide academic and behavioral access and acceleration efforts. Reading
Florida’s students have experienced significant growth in reading as a result of efforts using the key components of RtI through the Reading First Grant, as evidenced by a decrease in special education placement rates of approximately 40 percent (Torgesen, 2007).

Behavior
Florida’s students have also experienced significant improvements
in positive behaviors as a result of Positive Behavior Support
(PBS) implementations supported by Florida’s PBS Project. Schools
that implemented PBS with fidelity had 40 percent fewer office
discipline referrals, in-school suspensions and out-of-school suspensions
in comparison to schools that did not implement PBS with fidelity
(Kincaid, 2007).
