What is Response to Intervention?
"Response to Intervention (RtI) is an approach that schools use to help all students, including struggling learners. The RtI approach gives Texas students opportunities to learn and work at their grade level. The idea is to help all students be successful." Texas Education Agency

From The Response to Intervention Handbook by Andrea Ogonosky
- Intervention occurs early, when learning and behavior problems are small.
- Interventions and curricula are based on research and are scientifically validated.
- Students are progress monitored by frequently collecting data to determine the effectiveness of interventions that have been implemented.
- All decisions are data-based.
