Response to Intervention

This is the introductory lesson on Response to Intervention (RtI). These lessons are part of your daily lessons working with GED and ABE students. Knowing what tier a student is in is a vital resource in helping them achieve their goal of graduating. Also, these lessons will decrease your workload and provide the needed data for the state. Once the RtI system gets going, there will be an overall benefit for the students, instructors, and the location. You already have the skills necessary to perform all features of RtI, now is the time to be shown how. These worksheets are designed to walk you through the steps in understanding RtI and how it is used.
