Response to Intervention (RTI)
Response to Intervention (RTI) is a multi-tier approach
to the early identification and support of students with learning and behavior needs.
In a general education classroom, there are students struggling for different reasons. Some may have undiagnosed learning and attention issues. Others may be trying to pick up English as a second language, and some students might be shaky on certain skills due to frequent absences or inadequate teaching.
It’s often hard for a teacher to tell right away which students are struggling or why. RTI aims to identify struggling students early on and give them the support they need to be successful in school.
The word intervention is what RTI is all about. The goal is for the school to step in, and help before anyone falls further behind. RTI isn’t a specific program or type of teaching. It’s a proactive approach to measuring students’ skills and using this data to decide which types of targeted teaching to use.
As part of the RTI process, Daniels is strategizing to help struggling students by using teaching interventions that researchers have studied and shown to be effective, such as I-Ready Diagnostic. Many research-based interventions deal with reading. But there are also some scientifically proven methods of improving writing and math skills. Daniels also uses research-based behavior interventions such as Check In Check Out (CICO).
