RTI (Response to Intervention) Overview Response to Intervention (RTI) is at the core of school improvement-- to make sure all students are reached, especially those whose Academic skills or Behaviors are not up to Expectations.
RTI PYRAMID 4 Tier Model Beginning from the Bottom moving toward the Top The more Assistance needed for the student, the more they move up the pyramid
TIER 1: This is where all students begin, normal everyday class
TIER 2: Interventions such as pull-out small groups, Math Connections, Tutoring, Remediation, etc.
TIER 3:SST (Student Support Team) – Teachers implement interventions during classes with goals of improvement. Monthly meeting held (parents and teachers in attendance) to discuss overall progress and recommendations for moving forward.
The goal of the RTI pyramid is to implement the interventions, see improvement, and move the student back down the pyramid toward TIER 1 However, some students may need additional assistance with their academics or behavior after TIER 3; therefore, testing will be completed to see if the student needs to be escalated to TIER 4
TIER 4: Students who failed to show any improvement in their academic studies or behavior during TIER 3 will be tested for additional assistance, and possibly placed in the Special Education Program
