Action Research Topic

I have been wondering about the effectiveness of the interventions we give our students at the Tier I and II levels.  Are they really working?  Why are some students perpetual RTIers?  Doesn't that mean we are not narrowing their achievement gap?  If so, why?  What are we doing right for those that never come back to the Tier II intervention but more importantly, how can we replicate this for other students so they don't need to move to a Tier II intervention again? 

That is why my action research project will focus on the effectiveness of our tier I and II interventions at my campus.  I'm still not quite sure how to present the final leading question.  I'm hoping that my meeting this week with my Problem Solving Team (PST) will help narrow it down.  In the mean time here are a few questions I've come up with:

1. What is the effectiveness of our Tier I and II interventions and how can that effectiveness be measured?

2. How can we measure the effectiveness of our Tier I and II interventions?

3. Are our interventions at the Tier I and II levels effective and what is the evidence that proves or disproves their impact?

I'd love to hear which you think is best or your suggestion on a better leading question. :)
