Response to Intervention (RTI)
(RTI is a multi-tier approach to the early identification and support of students with learning and behavior needs.)
(RTI Action Network, 2010)
Three Tiers of Response to Intervention (RTI) instruction
Tier 1: All class - all children receive high-quality, scientifically based instruction provided by qualified personnel to ensure that their difficulties are not due to inadequate instruction.
Tier 2: Specialized group focus - Students not making adequate progress in the regular classroom in Tier 1 are provided with increasingly intensive instruction matched to their needs on the basis of levels of performance and rates of progress. Intensity varies across group size, frequency and duration of intervention, and level of training of the professionals providing instruction or intervention.
Tier 3: Intensive Services (special education services) - Students who do not achieve the desired level of progress in response to these targeted interventions are then referred for a comprehensive evaluation and considered for eligibility for special education services
