Response to Intervention (RtI) is an approach used by teachers to identify students that need supports, monitor their progress as they receive targeted interventions, and adjust the level of intervention depending upon students’ responsiveness. Student’s evaluation is done by the use of assessment data, progress monitoring, and evidence-based practices. RtI is a broad conceptualized approach as it can be applied at class and school level and for students from any grade level. This approach can be used for general as well as students with special needs. The support services can be provided by different school personnel including general education teachers, special educators, and specialists.
