Summary:The purpose of this study was to examine the role descriptive factors played in the perceptions of response to intervention (RTI) implementation success, challenges, and self–efficacy in a large Midwestern school district. District staff were surveyed as part of an evaluation of RTI implementation. Factors analyzed included teacher descriptive information, RTI essential elements, and teacher self–efficacy. Findings suggested that staff in elementary buildings rated overall success of RTI implementation higher on average than did staff in secondary buildings. This difference could be attributed to additional challenges to implementation presented by secondary building needs. In addition, no difference was found in overall elementary versus secondary staff perceptions of RTI implementation difficulty; there were, however, differences in the elements that were considered more or less difficult.
