Interventions
Every classroom teacher uses a wide variety
of interventions on a daily basis. The RtI model, however,
organizes and assesses interventions that are available from the
school’s current inventory and identifies which are
research-based. The interventions are then organized into tiers
with recommendations on frequency, duration, and intensity.
Research-based interventions have many
characteristics that include:
-
an experimental design with a large sample size
-
an experimental design that is documented in
peer-reviewed literature
-
a demonstrated correlation between the
intervention and student progress
-
recommendations for how to deliver the
intervention with fidelity
Non-research-based interventions include
those that:
-
are theoretically driven but have no supporting
data
-
are based on individual teacher experience but
have no supporting data
-
have a small sample size (n)
-
have no “track record” in peer-reviewed literature
Interventions are applied for the needs of
the individual student and are changed as needed throughout the
process, based upon collected data. Print
