Definition of RTI: • RtI is the practice of providing high-quality instruction and intervention matched to student need, monitoring progress frequently to make decisions about change in instruction or goals and applying child response data to important educational decisions. • IDEA 2004 provides for the use of RtI as part of the process to determine eligibility for learning disabilities. Core Principles of RTI: • We can effectively teach all children. • Intervene early. • Use a multi-tier model of service delivery. • Use a problem solving method to make decisions within a multi-tier model. • Use research-based, scientifically validated interventions/instruction. • Monitor student progress to inform instruction. • Use data to make decisions. • Use assessment in screening, diagnosis, and progress monitoring.
