This document provides teachers with guidance on requesting support for students through the Response to Intervention (RTI) process and accessing student Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) online. It outlines the key questions teachers should consider when submitting an RTI request, including the difficulties observed, how often they occur, the area of focus for intervention, and how progress will be measured. It also informs teachers that IEPs can be accessed online through their gradebook and lists some common accommodations provided, such as extra time, separate testing settings, and reference sheets. Teachers are asked to notify support staff ahead of exams if any students require a separate testing space.

Consider the following questions when
submitting an RTI Request:

in your class?
2. How often is this manifested in your class?
3. What is one area you should focus on and
apply a specific intervention/strategy?
4. How will you measure this? How often will
you measure it?

that these RTI requests
do not fall between the
cracks, so as soon as
you request support a
timeline is started.

How you can help?
Give us a heads up! The sooner we know the easier it is for us to arrange someone to
proctor and a room (if an SAP class is already occurring).
