Response to Intervention (RTI) is an educational approach designed to identify and support students who are struggling academically. It involves a tiered system of interventions, where students receive increasingly intensive support based on their needs. The goal is to provide early assistance to prevent long-term academic difficulties.
In the RTI model, teachers monitor student progress regularly and use data to make informed decisions about interventions. If a student does not respond to the initial support, they may receive more targeted interventions, often involving specialists. This process helps ensure that all students receive the help they need to succeed in school.
