This document discusses Response to Intervention (RtI) and dispels common myths about it. It states that RtI is not a silver bullet, canned program, or special education program, but rather a process that uses existing resources wisely. The document emphasizes that the mission of educators is to ensure high levels of success for all students. It notes that research shows many students lack proficiency in reading and skills needed for college and careers. The document advocates for effective core instruction, identifying students who need extra support, and providing interventions until students can learn and succeed. It frames RtI as a multi-tiered system of support with increasingly intensive interventions at each tier based on student needs.
