Response to Intervention (RtI)

Response to Intervention (RtI) is based on the premise that all students can learn and achieve academic success when provided high quality, differentiated instruction built around a standards-based curriculum. A comprehensive system of tiered research/evidence-based interventions is critical for reaching all students’ academic and behavioral needs. It is imperative that collaboration among administrators, educators and families be the foundation to responsive education. Thus, RtI is a process for achieving greater levels of academic and behavioral success for all students through high quality instruction, balanced assessment and collaboration.

The School District of Manawa’s RtI process is based on the Wisconsin RtI Model. This process includes universal screening, building consultation team (BCT) meetings, three tiers of instruction, and progress monitoring.
