What is Response to Intervention?
The process of providing interventions to students who are in need of academic or behavioral support is called Response to Intervention (RtI).
Response to Intervention is a state mandated process designed to help schools provide high quality instruction and interventions to students who may be struggling with learning or underperforming. An intervention is a specific type of instruction that is used to help with a specific type of problem.
RtI provides a framework for prevention and early intervention that involves determining whether all student are learning, progressing and/or excelling when provided with high quality instruction and interventions in academics and behavior. RtI requires educators to shift their emphasis from student deficits or determining eligibility for special education to maximizing the learning of ALL students.
