Response to Intervention (RtI)

Perry Local School District's RtI process is part of a larger Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS). Our RtI process directly supports students' academic achievement and growth. Similarly, we have a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) process that directly supports students' behavioral and social development.

An intervention is a change in the way an entire class, small group, or individual student is taught.  The name Response to Intervention refers to the desired positive response at-risk students will have to the changes in instruction.  With appropriate interventions, educators can close the gap in skills and performance between students who struggle and their peers.

The curriculum is taught to all students by the classroom teacher. Intervention happens daily to help all learners succeed.

Tier II

Specific, additional intervention is provided to a small group in and outside of the classroom.  Services can be offered between two and three days and lasting 50-100 minutes weekly.  Progress is monitored through short, weekly or bi-weekly assessments.  Tier II is for students who need extra practice mastering skills needed for school success.  A child could move to Tier I or Tier III depending on their progress.

Tier III
