Based on a review of state documents and interviews with state and local officials in six Midwest Region states, this qualitative study describes state education agency policy development and planning for response to intervention approaches to instruction. It also looks at the support provided to districts and schools implementing response to intervention. This report provides detailed information for state, district, and school education leaders and policymakers on the status of response to intervention in six Midwest Region states: Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin (Indiana declined to participate because its guidance on response to intervention was in development at the time of data collection, September 2009--March 2010). This study adds to the limited research on state-level response to intervention policy and practice. It provides a better understanding of policy development and implementation supports in the Midwest Region states and offers examples of response to intervention practices for states nationwide.
