Response to Intervention

Response to Intervention is a proactive approach to help all students understand the core curriculum and have academic & behavior skills to be successful in the classroom.

It is a school-wide model that emcompasses:
1) impentation of high-quality, research-based instruction matched to the needs of the students
2) provides a universal screening to identify students who need assistance (a snapshot)
3) provides interventions of increasingly intensity when students continue to struggle
4) make important educational decisions based on data
