Response to Intervention (RTI)
What is it?• a problem-solving philosophy• an intervention system• a way to monitor progress • a shared responsibility• in some case part of special education referral
RTI: a problem solving philosophy
If a student isn’t performing as expected, we will change what WE’RE doing …
and continue problem solving until we find what works.

What is problem-solving?
1. Problem Identification
2. Problem Analysis
3. Plan Development
4. Plan Implementation
5. Plan Evaluation
ReviseModify
IntensifyWith Expanding Support
A decision making process
What is the discrepancy between what
is expected and what is occurring?
1. Problem Identification
Why is the problem occurring?
2. Problem Analysis
What is the goal?What is the intervention plan?
How will progress be monitored?
3. Plan Development
How will implementation fidelity be ensured?
4. Plan Implementation
Did the student(s) respond to the intervention?
5. Plan Evaluation
CELEBRATE?
REVISE?MODIFY?INTENSIFY?WITH EXPANDED SUPPORT?

“Never argue with the data”Let it drive your decisions
• Teachers use assessments as formative tools to inform instruction
• School administrators use assessment data to help teachers meet the needs of students by providing necessary staff development and changes in curriculum
• Teachers use progress monitoring assessments to determine if students are responding to instruction and intervention
Using Benchmark and Progress Monitoring Data
to Chart RTI
Grouping students for instruction based on student skill,
monitoring their progress over small periods of time,
adjusting instruction based on the data and providing kids feedback on their performance
…
one of the most powerful sets of educational practices that exists.
