This teacher professional development course provides you with an introduction to the Response to Intervention (RTI) model. You will learn about the three RTI tiers and analyze examples of each tier in the academic areas of math and ELA. The course will cover how you might set up an RTI model for academic support, the core components of RTI, and how to collect data and evaluate that data for monitoring student progress. You will receive an intervention guide that contains examples you can use as a resource in your planning, and you will build an RTI education plan ready for implementation in your class.
