Response To Intervention (RTI)

SeaClass RTI

Response To Intervention is a process used by schools to target appropriate research-based interventions based on a student’s needs, monitor student progress, and ensure effective construction in the general education setting. The RtI process can provide data that demonstrates an individual child has received appropriate instruction by ensuring that the vast majority of students were able to master instructional objectives. The RtI tool has all of the components suggested by the National Research Center on Learning Disabilities (NRCLD). 

These include:

•  Monitoring a student’s progress in the general curriculum using appropriate screening or tests (assessments)
•  Choosing and implementing scientifically proven interventions to address a student’s learning problems
•  Following formal guidelines to describe which students are not making sufficient progress or responding  to the intervention
•  Monitoring how the student responds to the intervention by using assessments at least once a week or once every two weeks
•  Making sure the interventions are provided accurately and consistently
•  Determining the level of support that a student needs in order to be successful
•  Giving parents notice of a referral and a request to conduct a formal evaluation if a disability is suspected as required by IDEA.
