Response to
Instruction &
Intervention
(RtII)
What is RtII?
System for utilizing data to provide structured
and specific interventions for all student needs
Universal screening of all students
Tier 1:
- Sufficient for 70%-80% of students to be
successful
- General curriculum for all students
- Annual benchmarking to monitor student
growth
Tier 2:
- Sufficient for 15%-20% of students to be
successful
- Small group (3-5) intervention
- Biweekly data collection
Tier 3:
- Sufficient for 5%-10% of students to be
successful
- Even smaller group (1-3) intervention
- Increased weekly data collection
More About RtII…
• RtII applies to reading, writing, math,
behavior, etc.
• All interventions must be research-based
and provided with fidelity
• Intervention periods must be done for 6-8
weeks to be effective
• Multiple interventions must be tried at
each Tier before moving on to the next
• Improvement occurs slowly and gradually
over time which makes data collection
important
• Same intervention can be done at multiple
Tiers with a decrease in group size and
increase in frequency/intensity (e.g.
Number Worlds or Wilson at Tiers 2 and 3)

Questions?
“An individual has not
started living until he can
rise above the narrow
confines of his individualistic
concerns to the broader
concerns of all humanity.”
