The RTI Process
The RTI Process
ACES follows the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework to provide students who do not respond to general classroom instruction with increasingly intensive levels of intervention. MTSS is a term used to describe an evidence-based model of schooling that uses data-based problem-solving to integrate academic and behavioral instruction and intervention. The integrated instruction and intervention are delivered to students in varying intensities (multiple tiers) based on student need. “Need-driven” decision-making seeks to ensure that school resources reach the appropriate students at the appropriate levels to accelerate the performance of ALL students to achieve and/or exceed proficiency.
The support for students in broken up into multiple tiers.
Tier 1: All students receive core instruction and universal academic and behavior strategies.
Tier 2: Some students receive small group researched-based targeted interventions.
Tier 3: Few students receive intensive support utilizing research-based interventions.
Goals of RTI
The goals of the RTI process at ACES are the following:
Proactively identify students in need of support
Use data to know when a student is not progressing
Teach all students at the intensity needed based on students’ most current data
Intervene to increase tiered instructional support to accelerate learning
Track the effectiveness of tiered instruction and intervention
Focus on increasing student achievement to grade level proficiency or higher
