Response to Intervention (RtI) is an instructional framework within a school that utilizes all resources in a collaborative manner to provide high-quality instruction and interventions guided by student outcome data. The multi-step process assists classroom teachers in providing quality differentiated instruction and other universal interventions made available to all students at varying levels of instruction.
RtI has three tiers of support:
Core Classroom Instruction
Targeted Small Group Instruction
Intensive Individual Intervention
RtI includes high-quality instruction, universal screening, progress monitoring, and research-based interventions.
