Response to Intervention (RtI)

Response to Intervention (RtI) is a multi-tiered approach that schools use to support students, specifically those who are having difficulty with academics or behavior.  The goal of RtI is to provide interventions to reduce gaps and help all students be successful. 

There are typically three tiers of support in an RtI model.

Tier 1 includes classroom-wide support for all students.

Tier 2 provides targeted support to address a student's gaps in skills.

Tier 3 involves intensive support usually provided more frequently and in smaller groups.
