Course Description

Welcome to Response to Intervention: Practical Information for the Classroom Teacher, a course that introduces the Response to Intervention process for special education teachers, general classroom teachers, parents, and related professionals.

This computer-based instruction course is a self-supporting program that provides instruction, structured practice, and evaluation all on your home or school computer.  Technical support information can be found in the Help section of your course.

As educators, you have probably heard the term RTI, or Response to Intervention. RTI is a process that 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 because of instruction or the curriculum in either a past or a current classroom. Every teacher will have students who are struggling, and RTI is a valuable tool for easing that struggle. So welcome to the class on Response to Intervention, where you will learn what RTI is and how to use it in your classroom.

After taking this course, participants will demonstrate their ability to:

• Implement a systematic process, RTI, to ensure that every child learns
• Apply the essential elements of RTI
• Navigate through each tier of the RTI
• Apply the RTI process in the classroom

There are no prerequisites.
