Response to Intervention

Core Components of the RTI Process

• School-Wide Screening

All students are assessed with reliable, valid, time-efficient measures of academic skills to identify those who are “at-risk.”

• Early Intervention

Early interventions are the most efficient and effective.

• Research-Based Interventions

School staffs implement specific, research-based interventions to address the student’s difficulties.

• Frequent Review of Student Progress

Student progress is assessed frequently so that progress can be examined and changes made if necessary

• Interventions Increase in Intensity

Skills are monitored and if desired progress is not obtained, interventions increase in intensity.

• Decisions Based on Data

A student’s performance is assessed with the data obtained during the interventions and decisions are made based on that data.
