Response to Intervention (RTI)

What is Response to Intervention?

Response to Intervention (RTI) is a multi-tier approach to the early identification and support of students with learning or behavior needs. This framework systematically determines how well instruction is working, identifies which students whose needs are not being met, and makes adjustments to accelerate learning for all.

The goal is accelerated growth for all

The Response to Intervention model is often illustrated as a triangle with several levels. These represent actions, not classifications (one might say, “students in need of Tier 2 intervention,” but never “a Tier 2 intervention student”). Students may move between the tiers as their assessment results fluctuate throughout the year.

The point of Response to Intervention is not to bring every student into a standard normal distribution curve—instead, the point is to move the curve and accelerate learning for all students.
