RTI2 - Response to Instruction and Intervention
Response to instruction and intervention (RTI2)
involves evaluating the degree to which students (a) master academic material
in response to effective instruction, and (b) demonstrate appropriate,
prosocial behavior in response to effective classroom management. When students
are not progressing or "responding" to effective instructional
conditions, academically or behaviorally, RTI2 uses a data-based,
functional assessment, problem-solving process to determine the reason(s) for
the lack of success and select strategic instruction/ interventions to help
those students progress and be successful.
The kit presents an integrated evidence-based blueprint that guides effective classroom instruction and behavior management. The blueprint includes academic and behavioral service and support "cascades" to ensure that at-risk, underachieving, or unsuccessful students receive the services needed.
