Response to Intervention or RTI is a process schools can and should use to help students who are struggling with academics or behavior. Even though RTI is primarily linked to special education and the early identification of learning problems, RTI is not just for students in special education. RTI is for all students and is based on the premise that a student might be struggling due to instruction or the curriculum in the past or current classroom. All teachers have students who are struggling and whether it’s short term or long term, RTI is a valuable tool.
