Response to Intervention (RTI) is a multi-tiered model of instruction that provides early intervention for students who are struggling. It involves universal screenings to identify at-risk students, increasingly intensive interventions at three tiers, and frequent progress monitoring to determine if an intervention is effective. An RTI team helps identify student skill deficits, chooses research-based interventions, and decides when a student moves between tiers. While RTI could be beneficial for the school district, more research would need to be done to determine how to implement it locally.
