What is RTI? Response to Intervention (RTI) is defined as “the practice of providing high-quality instruction and interventions matched to student need, monitoring progress frequently to make decisions about changes in instruction or goals, and applying child response data to important educational decisions” (Batsche et al., 2005).
8 Core Principles of RTI:
1. We can effectively teach all children.
2. We will intervene early.
3. We will use a multi-tiered model of service delivery.
4. We will use a problem-solving model to make decisions within a multi-tiered model.
5. We will use scientific, research-based, validated intervention and instruction to the extent available.
6. We will monitor student progress to inform instruction.
7. We will use data to make decisions.
8. We will use assessment for screening, diagnosis, and progress monitoring.
