FPS – RTI DefinitionFPS – RTI Definition

Response to Instruction and Intervention (RTI²) is a systematic method of matching instruction to students’ learning needs which emphasize effective instruction for all students through high quality comprehensive instruction, as well as targeted interventions for students experiencing learning, social-emotional or behavioral difficulties.

Interventions are scientific and research-based (i.e., to the extent that research exists to inform their selection or development).

The focus of RTI² involves instruction and interventions in general education at the onset of concern about student performance.

Ancillary professionals also play a vital role in serving as a fundamental resource in implementing RTI²and in helping to meet the needs of all students.

Moving Upstream:A Story of Prevention and Intervention

1010

In a small town, a group of teachers gathered down at the river. Not long after they got there, a child came floating down the rapids calling for help. One of the teachers on the shore quickly dove in and pulled the child out.

1111

Minutes later another child came, then another, and then many more children were coming down the river. Soon everyone was diving in and dragging children to the shore, then jumping back in to save as many as they could.

1212

In the midst of all this frenzy, one of the group was seen walking away. Her colleagues were irate. How could she leave when there were so many children to save? After long hours, to everyone’s relief, the flow of children stopped, and the group could finally catch their breath.

At that moment, their colleague came back. They turned on her and angrily shouted:

“HOW COULD YOU WALK OFF WHEN WE NEEDED EVERYONE HERE TO SAVE THE CHILDREN?”

1313

The teacher replied, “It occurred to me that someone ought to go upstream and find out why so many kids were falling into the river. What I found is that the old wooden bridge had several planks missing, and when some children tried to jump over the gap, they couldn’t make it and fell through into the river. So I got someone to fix the bridge.”

River = Curriculum

Bridge = Instruction & Intervention
