Response to Intervention (RTI)

Many of us have been hearing about and learning about Response to Intervention (RTI). We as educators have been doing this for some time. It has usually been done on an individual basis however, through our assessments and self analysis of our students we have and will continue to strive to answer the question if our students are not learning what is the next step?

We have responded by doing several things already:

  • Modified our students' schedule i.e. labs
  • Offered more credit recovery options
  • Developed an extensive on-line help center
  • Developed teacher blogs
  • Developed on-line tutoring
  • Adjusted policies

As we dive into RTI, we will be evaluating our current students needs and continuing to implement programs that allow our students to be successful.
