RTI - Students receive reading and math interventions according to individual needs of each student. Self-based instruction using reading and math intervention programs designed to meet each students level of remedial instruction to increase reading vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Likewise for math skills instruction. Students use a self based learning program that pre-assessed each students ability, and provides instruction, guided and independent practice to increase fluency and comprehension with math tasks. Both programs are teacher guided, and one-to- one interventions occur when students struggle with a concept, rule, or formula to assist with the goal of mastery.
