What Is RTI? Vocabulary Handout1
This activity is used to show how your understanding of key terms related to the basics of Response to
Intervention evolves throughout the Webinar. The terms are organized by the order in which they appear in
the Webinar. Under the prediction column fill out what you believe the terms mean prior to the
presentation. As the terms are discussed during the presentation add clarification to the final meaning
column. Use the picture, sketch, example column to add additional clarifying information after the
presentation. At the end of the table there are rows which act as a place holder for any additional terms
you may want to define.
