RtI
When school personnel establish a comprehensive continuum of supports and services for ALL, students are more likely to experience success academically and behaviorally. The RtI Model defines the process whereby students access appropriate levels of support and intervention, given their academic and/or behavioral needs. Moreover, RtI is effective only through a collaborative inquiry-based approach to identify student needs, implement targeted interventions, utilize data to measure student progress as a result of the interventions, as well as to monitor intervention integrity.
The RtI process requires the involvement of the classroom teacher, parent(s), student (where appropriate), and building specialists (e.g., teacher leaders, coaches, instructional coordinators, special education teachers, ELL teachers, counselors, gifted and talented specialists, speech-language pathologists, school psychologists, school social workers, building leaders).
