Trend Title: Response to Intervention (RTI)

1. Define the Trend: Multi-tier approach to the early identification and support of
students with learning and behavior needs.

2. Explain its importance: RTI is important because it provides students with

interventions depending on what area they need support in. It is a universal
screening model with intensifying interventions that accelerate student learning
and promote positive, prosocial behavior.

3. Organize and Reveal 3-5 BIG ideas within the Trend

 Tier 1: High-Quality Instruction, Screening, & Group Interventions
 Tier 2: Targeted Interventions
 Tier 3: Intensive Interventions and Comprehensive Evaluation

4. Describe what it might look like in an art room or learning community

RTI is often used in elementary school settings to provide students with a built-in
time for interventions. RTI is something that all students participate in, which
makes it a less public way to provide students with interventions. RTI supports
both learning and behavioral needs. Most students (80%) only need tier one
interventions. Roughly 15% receive tier two interventions. Only 5% of students
receive tier three interventions. Specialists in a school are sometimes used for
instructional support during RTI (if it occurs at the same time of day for all
students). Specialists can be supportive of RTI by communicating with classroom
teachers and finding ways to incorporate interventions in their classrooms. For
example, if one class has a significant of students who receive additional support
(tier 2/tier 3) for reading, an art teacher can use an interdisciplinary approach
that incorporates reading practice in their lessons.
