Response to Intervention
(RtI)
Response to Intervention
(RtI) is the process of systematically assessing student progress, determining
needs, and designing appropriate interventions to meet student needs. This
process helps eliminate the ‘wait to fail’ approach and may eventually lead to
an eligibility determination for special education should a student repeatedly
continue not to respond to scientifically research based intervention programs.

education students who are performing at grade level or above Tier II – Students who fall
between the 11-25 %tile and who are receiving extra services to boost
skills Tier III – Students performing
below the 10 %tile and who are receiving extra services in small group and
one on one to address significant skill deficits
Assessment
Information: §
Three times a year, students are tested on their oral
reading fluency, comprehension, and math skills §
We use a system called AIMSweb to
assess, store data, progress monitor, and generate graphs §
Assessment dates for the 2011-2012 school year: §
Fall: August 29th – September 2nd §
Winter: January 17th – 20th §
Spring: May 14th – 17th §
Data is used to determine student groupings §
Students placed into RtI groups will be progress monitored
weekly and progress graphs will go home monthly Struggling
Students: -
If a student is placed into an RtI group, a letter will go
home notifying the parents -
If a student continues to struggle, grade level teams will
meet with reading specialist and special education teachers to develop new
intervention -
As a student continues to struggle, a Problem Solving
Meeting will be organized with parents and teachers to develop a new plan
to help students
