Response to Intervention
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Education/WIwsQKF9">education</a>, Response to Intervention (RTI or RtI) is an academic approach used to provide early, <a href="/facts/Systematic_review/dGvq3BGx">systematic</a>, and appropriately intensive <a href="/facts/Supplemental_instruction/zrIQ2GLS">supplemental instruction</a> and support to children who are at risk of or currently performing below grade or age level standards. However, to better reflect the transition toward a more comprehensive approach to intervention, there has been a shift in recent years from the terminology referring to RTI to MTSS, which stands for "multi-tiered system of supports". MTSS represents the latest intervention framework that is being implemented to systematically meet the wider needs which influence student learning and performance. </p>
