Response to Intervention commonly known as RtI in academic language is a multi-tier approach in response to early identification and support of all students and any students who are not progressing as expected by grade level expectations. Response to Intervention does not have a clear defined structure as how to implement therefore, states and school districts have had to design their own format. After the Learning Disabilities Summit in 2001, supported by the U.S. Department of Education, RtI created momentum recognized for its use for identifying learning disabilities. Between the endorsement from the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA) and No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) these events forced RtI

Campus administrators are the overseers of the process and therefore, carry the responsibility as to how the process functions on their campus. Meanwhile, at the district levels, they are responsible for the instructions and loose guidelines to campuses. Teachers carry the responsibility of progress monitoring student interventions and reporting findings to campus administrators. Response to Intervention is a school-wide prevention method to identify struggling students and by providing immediate intervention with researched quality instruction. RtI can be used to make recommendation judgements for those learners who do not answer to intensive intervention in the general education classroom. The RtI process can lead to earlier documentation of students who have true disabilities and are in need of special education services (Response to Intervention). Many school districts have set up a guideline to implement RtI within their schools. Guidelines include: having classroom teachers use district universal screeners with all of his / her students in math, reading, and behavior. If screening indicates a concern in an area, a diagnostic assessment to find the specific gap(s) is given by the teacher. The data is entered onto the grade level appropriate chart and marked if it meets the …show more content…
Tier II is intended to deliver secondary interventions through early identification and support for a small percentage of learners. Tier II consists of individualized small group instruction and is in addition to core classroom Tier I instruction. If the student’s needs dictate intervention outside the classroom, the administrative team works to identify interventions specific to the student within both the small group and in the regular classroom. RtI can be used to make recommendation decisions for those learners who do not respond to rigorous intervention in the general education classroom. Students in Tier II receive individualized instruction several days a week for 30-45 minutes. The teaching is delivered inside the classroom or outside the classroom in a pull-out format for learners who are not accomplishing state and grade level standards through core instruction and universal interventions. In theory, students should move back to Tier I after effectively mastering the area of concern. Students’ progress is observed more regularly using curriculum based measurement to regulate the efficiency and the learner’s receptiveness to the interventions. However, if a student does not respond to Tier II interventions they may move to Tier III which consists of 5 % of the
