Individual Differences & Response to Intervention (4/22)

Blog post: In your own words, what is “response to intervention”? What is this approach an alternative to?

Response to intervention or RTI is to help students early on with succeeding in school. It is a way to determine if a student has a learning disability. Many steps are taken to find out if the student has a disability. Before this approach students would be tested with an IQ test or grades from their school year would be looked at to determine if the student had a disability. The RTI takes more time to make sure that the right approach to each student is being made.
