Response to Intervention (RTI) is a framework designed to identify and support students who struggle with learning at an early stage. It involves a multi-tiered approach to providing high-quality instruction, intervention and support to students at varying levels of need. Student progress is monitored using various methods such as standardized tests, teacher observations and informal assessments. Data is collected from these assessments inform decisions about the effectiveness of interventions and help educators adjust their strategies to better support the students' learning needs.
The goal of RTI is to prevent academic failure by providing timely and appropriate support to students. It emphasizes early identification, evidence-based interventions, continuous monitoring of progress and data-driven decision-making to ensure that every student receives the help they need to succeed academically.
