RTI

RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION (RTI)
"RTI is the practice of providing high-quality instruction and intervention matched to the student's need. Progress is monitored frequently so decisions can be made about changes a child may need in his/her instruction or goals. It also uses the child's test information to make important educational decisions. "(NASDSE, 2005)

Principles of RTI:

• We can effectively teach all children
• Intervene early
• Use a multi-tier model of service delivery
• Use a problem-solving method to make decisions
• Use research-based, scientifically validated interventions/instruction
• Monitor progress to inform instruction
• Use data to make decisions
• Use assessment for (1) screening, (2) diagnostics, and (3) progress monitoring
