Response to Intervention Services

Meeting Student Needs. For All Learners.

Across America, schools are implementing Response to Intervention, or RtI, as part of the IDEA reauthorization. Response to Intervention is a comprehensive instructional approach that combines assessment and intervention within a multi-level instructional system to maximize student achievement and to reduce behavior problems. With RtI, schools identify students at risk for poor learning outcomes, monitor student progress, provide research-based interventions and adjust the intensity and nature of those interventions depending on a student's success.

In a typical three-tiered implementation model for RtI, Tier One is focused on providing powerful and differentiated instruction in the student's classroom. Teachers need strategies to identify misunderstanding early, re-teach in meaningful ways that help the student to gain understanding, and to manage students in ways that support individual success. Using data, ongoing assessment, differentiation techniques, and gaining support from PLCs are all critical aspects of Tier One success.

RTI Tier One: Ongoing Assessment in the Mathematics Classroom In mathematics, errors provide a critical key to understanding and informing student thinking. In this Institute, teachers and leaders are offered strategies to improve mathematics practice through the effective use of questioning and ongoing assessment to identify and understand the impact of student errors on achievement.
