2. What is Response to Intervention (RTI)?
An educational approach designed to improve academic outcomes for all students by intervening early when any student shows signs that he or she is struggling. Research based interventions are provided to the student and are focused on their areas of need. The student’s response to the intervention is monitored to determine the appropriate course of action.
