RtI is a data-driven process used to determine if a student is responding to classroom instruction and progressing as expected. In an RtI process, students receive individualized academic or behavioral support. Multiple tiers (levels) of support increase in intensity and are matched to the student’s specific needs. Interventions are implemented as early as possible to promote student success.
