The document discusses Response to Intervention (RTI) implementation in the Weld Re-8 school district for the 2008-2009 school year. It outlines the core principles of RTI including leadership, curriculum and instruction, problem-solving processes, and family/community engagement. RTI uses multi-tiered levels of intervention including universal supports for all students, targeted supports for at-risk students, and intensive individualized supports. The goal is to intervene early and improve outcomes for all students through collaboration, data-driven problem solving, and positive behavior support.
