Resources to help educators respond to students' progress BEFORE they fall behind


What is RtI?
Response to Intervention (RtI or RTI) is an instructional framework that provides ALL students with the instruction they need for learning success. The goal of RtI is to intervene early – when students begin to struggle with learning – to prevent them from falling behind and developing learning difficulties.
 
There are three essential components to RtI:

The RtI framework includes a three-tier instructional model

Tier I/Core: Core classroom instruction that all students receive with assessment of student progress three times per year

Tier II/Supplemental: Intervention (additional instruction) and frequent progress monitoring (e.g., every 2 weeks) that struggling learners receive
 
Tier III/Intensive: More intensive intervention and frequent progress monitoring that students with extreme learning difficulties received after not making adequate progress in Tiers I and II
