Saturday, January 29, 2011 Pass It On Education Tools: Response To Intervention? Might As Well Go To The Source!Many schools and districts have developed and implemented Response To Intervention (RTI) plans. Others have that task ahead of them. Regardless of where your school or district is at on this time line, chances are that many professionals on your staff do not know enough about RTI. The resources below can help! The American Institutes for Research, supported by the U.S. Department of Education, developed RTI. They have an excellent web site that describes it as follows: "Response to intervention integrates assessment and intervention within a multi-level prevention system to maximize student achievement and to reduce behavior problems. With RTI, schools identify students at risk for poor learning outcomes, monitor student progress, provide evidence-based interventions and adjust the intensity and nature of those interventions depending on a student’s responsiveness, and identify students with learning disabilities or other disabilities. To learn more about RTI, see the Essential Components of RTI – A Closer Look at Response to Intervention."
