RTI

Part 1: An Overview
This module outlines the differences between the IQ-achievement discrepancy model and the Response-to-Intervention (RTI) model. It also offers a brief overview of each tier in the RTI model and explains its benefits.

Part 2: Assessment
This module explores in detail the assessment procedures integral to RTI. It also outlines how to use progress monitoring data to determine if a student is meeting the established performance criteria or if more intensive intervention is needed.

Part 3: Reading Instruction
This module illustrates different research-based reading strategies that may be used with the Response-to-Intervention model to improve reading skills.

Part 4: Putting It All Together
This module synthesizes the information in RTI (Parts 1, 2, and 3) to provide teachers and other school personnel with a more comprehensive illustration of how to successfully implement RTI.

Part 5: A Closer Look at Tier 3
