Response to Intervention
Response to Intervention
The New York State Education Department defines Response to Intervention (RtI) as follows:
RtI is a school process used to determine if a student is responding to classroom instruction and progressing as expected. In an RtI process, a student who is struggling receives additional instructional support provided by matching instruction to a student’s individual needs through a multi-tier instructional model. Each level, also known as a tier, provides instruction with increased intensity – such as smaller groups or instructional time focused on specific areas.
RtI focuses on the early prevention of academic difficulty, particularly in the areas of reading and math, by…
-
ensuring appropriate instruction for all students;
-
monitoring students’ progress; and
-
providing additional levels of instructional assistance (intervention) for
-
students who require support.
