respondents stating that they do not know who or how
SRBI is coordinated at the district level.

Area of Concern
Implementing a menu of research-based interventions
was problematic in the areas of writing, mathematics,
and behavior.
• In writing, 38% of respondents said that this
was not at all in place.
• In mathematics, only 27% reported this
being fully implemented
• For behavior, 43% indicated that there was
at best partial implementation

The area of writing is the largest area of concern for SRBI
implementation.
