Week 4 Assignment 1

An RTI, or Response to intervention, is early intervention for students with learning disabilities. The main facet of RTI are the multiple tiers. Parental involvement and professionalism are important throughout the tiers. There are 3 tiers in an RTI.
Tier 1 is the 1st step and lowest tier involves little intervention. Students are given excellent instruction to rule out the possibility of bad instruction causing students to be lacking in knowledge. Students are screened to see their progress. This goes on for a certain period of time, usually about 8 weeks. If students are not up to par, they are moved to tier 2. In tier 2, students receive instruction based on their needs. It can be done in different group sizes and different frequencies. This step usually lasts about 8 weeks. At the end of the time, if the students did not make enough progress, they are moved to teir 3. Tier 3 is the most intense tier of RTI. Students receive individualized instruction. Students can be evaluated for special education services.
