RtL Part II

Early this week I mentioned that the District would be implementing a RtI program in grades K-6 in the fall. I also shared some of the basic premises of the RtI philosophy. Today, I want to share some ideas or concepts surrounding RtI. These concepts have been well stated by School Psychologist Ms. Kim Montes below:

A belief that all students can learn, and the The District supports all students.

The District focuses on student intervention needs and not on “What is wrong with the student.”

RtI is an integrated, proactive approach to determining student needs.

There is an increased focus on instructional strategies, interventions and effective teaching.

Student progress is monitored frequently to determine if the interventions enabled the student to catch up to his/her peers.

If significant improvement is not identified in the monitored student, then evidence now exists of a possible underlying learning disability.

In my next post I will talk about the structure of the RtI program.
