What is RTI?Response to Intervention (RTI) is a way of screening children, early in their schooling in order to help schools and educators identify those who may not be responding to instruction – and thus may be at risk for school failure. The technique allows schools to provide any student more intensive support–and monitor their progress—than may be typically available in every classroom. Ultimately, RTI is a LICENSE TO CHANGE SOMETHING!
