A comprehensive assessment system will involve multiple and varied types of evaluative tools designed to provide information that guides and informs instruction. The RtI Assessment Audit is a review of assessment practices implemented by a school in the area of literacy across grade levels. Conducting a RtI Assessment Audit serves several purposes:

1. Identifies the different types of assessments used in the area of literacy
2. Clarifies the purpose (screening, progress monitoring, diagnostic, and outcome) of each assessment tool
3. Identifies the construct being assessed (e.g.. concepts of print, comprehension, fluency, etc..), 
4. Identifies training needs of staff members relative to the administration and interpretation of targeted assessments;   
5. Provides an opportunity for a school to identify redundancies or gaps in the assessment process.

The New York State Self-Assessment Tool for RtI Readiness and Implementation was developed by consortium members of the NYS Response to Intervention  Technical Assistance Center (NYS RtI TAC) in collaboration with personnel from the New York State Education Department P-12, Office of Special Education.  As a self-assessment tool, it is intended to:(1) assist individual schools/districts in evaluating their current level of RtI readiness and implementation and 2) formulate an RtI Implementation plan that will address RtI indicators that require improvement or development. It offers an opportunity for the school community to engage in reflective conversations around the topic of RtI.

2.  prioritizing RtI elements or features in terms of importance or priority
3. using results to construct an implementation plan that will guide the RtI process in their respective schools/districts
