RTI - Response To Intervention•A multi-tiered approach that provides instruction at the students level.•Students' progress is closely monitored at each stage of instruction to determine the need for further research-based instruction and/or intervention in general education, in special education, or both.

•The four main elements of the RTI framework are;

• high quality instruction for all students,• tiered instruction/intervention, • ongoing student assessment, • and family involvement.

•RTI is not a program. It is a comprehensive system for organizing the district's effort for improving achievement of all students.
