How RTI Works from

a Student’s Perspective

Progress monitoring and intervention data is used

60 day count begins

THINK, PAIR, SHARE How do the two team processes differ? How are teams currently organized in your

district? How would your team process look different

in a multi-tiered, RTI system? Does the child find the system, or does the system find the child?

A CLOSING THOUGHT BEFORE YOU GO

RTI is, first and foremost, about good teaching: Even before students are formally classified as having “learning disabilities,” those who need more assistance receive additional interventions…So RTI is as much a prevention model as an identification model.
