RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION
What is RTI?
Response to Intervention (RTI) is a multi-tiered approach to providing instruction, services, and intervention at increasing levels of intensity to struggling learners.
RTI provides framework for: PREVENTION of learning difficulties INTERVENTION when students do not learn at the
expected rate for grade level IDENTIFICATION of students who need intensive
interventions in addition to quality instruction in the regular classroom
Why RTI?
The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 2004 require districts and campuses to provide additional support for struggling students at the earliest signs of difficulty.
IDEA 2004 requires general education to monitor and measure a student’s response to an individualized intervention plan in the general education classroom.
Why RTI?
The purpose of RTI is to provide… Quality instruction to ALL students Focused interventions for students who struggle Frequent monitoring of each student’s response
to the instruction and focused interventions
RTI Essential System Components
High-quality instruction for all students, demonstrated through scientific research and evidence-based practice to produce high rates of learning for most students
Universal screening of all students with periodic monitoring of students’ progress in the curriculum
Interventions for struggling learners provided at increasing levels of intensity and matched to individual student need
RTI Essential System Components
An integrated system of assessment and data collection for identification of students struggling to meet academic and behavioral expectations
Mechanisms for monitoring students’ learning rates and levels of performance and using that information in ongoing problem solving and decision making
An approach for determining which students need additional help and about the intensity and likely duration of interventions, based on each student’s response to instruction across multiple tiers of intervention (identification)
What does RTI look like?
Tier 1: Core Instruction
Core instruction for all students
Should fully meet the needs of 80% to 90 of students
Ongoing universal screening (3 times per year in JISD)
Tier 2: Targeted Group Intervention
Students identified as at-risk, performing below expected levels or needing specific support to make adequate progress, in addition to Tier 1 instruction
Interventions can be done in small groups
Meets the needs of 5% to 15% of students
Requires frequent progress monitoring (minimum monthly)
Tier 3: Intensive, Individualized Intervention
Students who continue to struggle without measurable progress after Tier 2 intervention
Increase in frequency and duration of intervention
Interventions is usually individualized
Meets the needs of 2% to 5% of students
Requires more frequent progress monitoring (minimum weekly)
