Wk-4 Assignment 1 Describe your understanding of RTI and its structure of intervention.

What is RTI?

RTI (Response to Intervention) is multi-tier approach to early identification and support of student learning. RTI is a process that incorporates both assessment and intervention. The multi-tier triangle begins with, Tier 1, all students receive this instruction at the level. It includes differentiated instruction, delivered by general Ed teachers using an evidence-based curriculum. This level supports 80-85% of all students.

Tier 2-  Builds upon Tier 1, however, the level of intervention increases. Students continue to participate in Tier 1.  This level meets the needs of 15% of the populations who’s needs were not met by Tier 1.

Tier 3- is the most intensive level of instruction. This level meets the needs of 5% of the students who’s needs were not meet in Tier 2. Students participation in Tier 3 does not eliminate Tier 1 or Tier 2; it supplements them, does not replace them.

I currently, don’t have any question on the RTI framework. However, it’s a power tool to help catch children before they develop problems with reading.
