Abstract
South Carolina public school teachers provide intervention services via 2 models: Response to Intervention (RtI) and the Multi-Tiered Support System (MTSS). Research shows that there is currently a gap in teacher understanding and implementation of MTSS versus RtI within South Carolina public school districts. Teachers noted lack of training, time, and resources as the major barriers to implementation and would benefit from two sets of modules: 1) an educational training module on MTSS and 2) example intervention modules that can be implemented within their classrooms at a tier one level in K-5 classrooms within the public school system in Florence School District 1. Data collected at the end of the 14-week capstone experience showed that teachers had an improved understanding of MTSS referrals when utilizing the training information provided. Teachers also showed confidence in implementing Tier One interventions in their classrooms to meet the needs of their students.
