RtI Has become the national model for successfully reaching students when they are just beginning to fall behind expected benchmarks and providing appropriate supports and interventions at increasing levels of intensity.

Important Information When the general education, or Tier 1 instruction, in the district is solid and done with fidelity, 80-90% of our students will experience SUCCESS! The RtI process involves: 1. Identification of Struggling Students (both academically and/or behaviorally) 2. Diagnosis of Specific Learning Gaps and/or Deficits 3. Creating Plan for Interventions & Goal Setting 4. Providing Appropriate Interventions (with integrity and fidelity) 5. Progress Monitoring 6. Data Analysis & Student Outcomes

RtI/SST Protocol ID students at/below 25 th percentile ID criteria for moving from T1-T2 ID students with four (4) or more ODRs

Q & A Individual school RtI/SST teams may request meetings with RtI Coordinator as needed during the year.
