What Is RTI?
Multi-Level Prevention System
Essential Components of RTI
Screening
Purpose: Identify students who are at risk of poor learning outcomes
Primary Level
Focus: All students
Setting: General education classroom
Instruction: District curriculum

and instructional practices that are
evidence-based; aligned with state
or district standards; incorporate
differentiated instruction
Assessments: Screening,
continuous progress monitoring,
and outcome measures
Focus: All students

Tools: Brief assessments that are valid, reliable, and demonstrate diagnostic
accuracy for predicting learning or behavioral problems
Timeframe: Administered more than one time per year (e.g., fall, winter, and spring)
Progress Monitoring
Secondary Level
Purpose: Monitor students response to primary, secondary, or tertiary

instruction in order to estimate rates of improvement, identify students
who are not demonstrating adequate progress, and compare the efficacy of
different forms of instruction
Instruction: Targeted, supplemental Assessments: Progress

monitoring, diagnostic
instruction delivered to small groups
Focus: Students identified through screening as at risk for poor learning outcomes
Focus: Students identified through Setting: General education classroom

or other general education location
screening as at risk for poor
within the school
learning outcomes
Tools: Brief assessments that are valid, reliable, and evidence-based

Timeframe: Students are assessed at regular intervals (e.g., weekly, biweekly,
or monthly)
Tertiary Level
Focus: Students who have not
responded to primary or secondary
level prevention
Setting: General education classroom

or other general education location
within the school
Instruction: Intensive, supplemental

instruction delivered to small groups
or individually
Assessments: Progress
monitoring, diagnostic
Tertiary level
of prevention
Each prevention level may,

but is not required to, have
multiple tiers of interventions.
Secondary
level of
prevention
Primary level
of prevention
Data-Based Decision Making

Defining RTI
Data analysis is at all levels of RTI implementation (e.g., state, district, school, grade
level) as well as all levels of prevention (e.g., primary, secondary, tertiary)
Establish routines and procedures for making decisions
RTI integrates assessment and intervention within a school-wide, multi-level

prevention system to maximize student achievement and reduce behavior problems.
Explicit decision rules for assessing student progress (e.g., state and district
benchmarks, level and/or rate)
With RTI, schools identify students at risk for poor learning outcomes, monitor
student progress, provide evidence-based interventions, and adjust the intensity
and nature of those interventions based on a students responsiveness.
Data is used to compare and contrast the adequacy of the core curriculum and
the effectiveness of different instructional and behavioral strategies
RTI may be used as part of the determination process for identifying students
with specific learning disabilities or other disabilities.
Implementing the RTI Framework

Select and implement evidence-based practices and procedures
RTI as a Preventive Framework

RTI is a multi-level instructional framework aimed at improving outcomes for all students.
RTI is preventive and provides immediate support to students who are at risk for
poor learning outcomes.

Implement essential components and identified framework with integrity

Ensure that cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic factors are reflected in the
RTI framework and its components
