| مستخلص: | The problem addressed through this study was the inconsistent implementation of RTI2 in the mathematics classes for special education (SPED) upper elementary (i.e., Grades 3-5) students at a Southwestern, urban Tennessee school district (SUTSD). Students in SPED have low mathematics proficiency. Researchers have demonstrated that RTI2 is a process that can be used to address students' deficit areas; however, the implementation of the program in the local school district has not been established. This basic qualitative study aimed to explore teachers' perceptions about the usefulness and challenges of implementing RTI2 for SPED students in mathematics classrooms. The implementation science framework, which promotes the integration of research findings and evidence into practice and policy, was the lens for this study. The study's research questions explored teacher perceptions of the usefulness and challenges of implementing RTI2. The 10 participants were gathered through a purposeful sample of the SUTSD Grades 3-5 teachers with 1-year experience using RTI2. Data were analyzed thematically to capture commonalities in the data gained from participants' knowledge and experience. The results of implementing RTI2 indicated that it is useful to SPED students in mathematics classrooms because it enables teachers to connect learning to students' lives and help students with mastering skills. Teachers identified challenges associated with the need for content support, additional personnel support in the classroom, and support to address deficits in student engagement. The potential positive social change is that district leadership could use the findings to strengthen the implementation of RTI2 within the SUTSD and prepare SPED students for their future.
