Response to Intervention (RtI)

At a Glance

Education is not a “one size fits all” process, particularly when students are struggling. Response to Intervention (RtI) is a powerful, research-based method for addressing the unique needs of struggling students during the early stages. Designed for use in the general classroom, RtI uses graduated levels of support, individualized goals, and frequent monitoring to tackle students’ specific learning and behavioral problems. By targeting problems and doing so early on, RtI not only helps students overcome barriers to success but also reduces the number of students who must be referred for learning disabilities.

Whether a school system seeks to use RtI to strengthen scaffolds of support or more effectively use student data, SEDL can help. We offer technical assistance, professional development, and resources to assist schools and districts in understanding and implementing RtI. In this way, we hope to help educators better serve the needs of all students.
