Recognizing DCAT Completion
The District Capacity Assessment–Tennessee (DCAT) allows District Leadership Teams to examine district-level systems and practices necessary for effective RTI2-A + RTI2-B implementation in schools. The assessment is designed to promote self-reflection so that barriers to effective implementation can be identified and addressed through an RTI2-A + RTI2-B implementation plan.
The assessment includes 41 items that indicate aligned implementation of RTI2-A and RTI2-B. The items are grouped by four components that are essential to both tiered support systems: Leadership, Data-Based Decision Making, Instruction and Intervention, and Assessment. To complete the assessment, District Leadership Teams use a scoring rubric to evaluate and reach consensus on the status of each item. The assessment is completed each school semester (i.e., fall and spring, or every 6 months) to monitor progress.
