In its first 3½ months of operation, the RAIL System, housed within the UTC School Psychology program, served 19 school districts across Tennessee and provided access to 186 assessment tools and related resources—saving participating districts more than $22,000 in costs they would otherwise have incurred purchasing the materials themselves.
UTC School Psychology prepares to kick off the Rural Assessment Intervention Library
As the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga welcomes the class of 2029, the Department of School Psychology is ready to introduce the Rural Assessment Intervention Library (RAIL) System for school districts across the state to use to help children get the services they need.
Riding the RAIL to better school psychologist assistance
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga School Psychology program is bringing a new kind of railroad to school districts across Tennessee with the Rural Assessment Intervention Library (RAIL) System. Beginning later this year, the RAIL System will give rural school psychologists the chance to access assessments they need to properly diagnose students so they can provide adequate services and support.
