EDUU 512 RTI Case Assignment Description
Response to Intervention (RTI) is a multi-tier approach to the early identification and support of students
with learning and behavior needs. The RTI process begins with high-quality instruction and universal
screening of all children in the general education classroom. Struggling learners are provided with
interventions at increasing levels of intensity to accelerate their rate of learning (www.rtinetwork.org ).
2. A=Analysis of Problem: Analyze the problem using data to determine why the issue is
occurring. Generate hypotheses founded in: evidence-based content area knowledge; alterable
variables; and instructionally relevant domains. Link validated hypotheses to
instruction/intervention. Ask, “Why is/are the desired goal(s) not occurring?”
Adapted from: Little, M.E. (2013). RTI Lesson Planning and Instructional Decision-making.
3. Read the elementary or secondary RTI math case study (located in the learning activities folder) to see
how the teacher and support team members utilized the RTI problem solving approach to meet the
individual needs of the students in the case.
4 . Write a 2-3 page paper, in essay format, that analyzes the case through the lens of the RTI Problem
Solving Process . The paper should include:
a. Case Summary-
Problem Identification- What do you know about the student(s)? What was the problem addressed
in the case?
Analysis of the problem – Why were students struggling? What data was analyzed to determine the
problem?
Intervention Design/Implementation- What goals were set? What interventions were used and
what level of intervention did they represent?
Response to Instruction/Intervention- How effective was the intervention?
What insights did you gain about the RTI process and its role in addressing the needs of students
who are struggling?
What role does data collection and analysis play in the RTI process?
In what ways do teachers collaborate throughout the RTI process?
How does the RTI model relate to the differentiated instruction practices described in Burden and
Byrd, Chapter 2?
