Core Principles
Response to
Intervention (RtI) is an approach that promotes a
well-integrated system connecting general, compensatory, gifted, and special
education in providing high quality, standards-based instruction/intervention
that is matched to students' academic, social-emotional, and behavioral needs.
Ad continuum of intervention tiers with increasing levels of intensity and
duration is central to RtI. Collaborative educational decisions are based
on data derived from frequent monitoring of student performance and rate of
learning.
The overarching purpose of
RtI implementation is to improve
educational outcomes for ALL
students.
We
believe that…
• ALL children can learn and achieve high standards as a result
of effective teaching.
• All children must have access to a rigorous, standards-based
curriculum and research-based instruction.
• Intervening at the earliest indication of need is necessary for
student success (Pre K–12).
• A comprehensive system of tiered interventions is essential for
addressing the full range of student needs.
• Student results improve when ongoing academic and behavioral
performance data inform instructional decisions.
• Collaboration among educators, families and community members
is the foundation for effective problem-solving and instructional
decision-making.
• On-going and meaningful involvement of families increases
student success.
• All members of the school community must continue to gain
knowledge and develop expertise in order to build capacity and sustainability of
RtI.
• Effective leadership at all levels is crucial for the
implementation of RtI.
