Training for Generalization and Maintenance in RtI Implementation: Front‐Loading for Sustainability

摘要: Response to Intervention (RtI) is being implemented as a new initiative in PK-12 schools with increasing frequency. However, the model must be sustained at school level, which potentially difficult due number of challenges brought about by systems change. This article applied Stokes and Baer (1977) framework for programming generalization maintenance behavior change suggest specific activities could engage better ensure RtI sustainability. We specifically discussed ways (1) introduce natural maintaining contingencies, (2) train sufficient exemplars, (3) loosely, (4) program common stimuli, (5) mediate generalization, (6) generalize. Directions future research are included.
