Educational rhetoric often focuses on assessment, scores, and performance components which can betreated as being discrete. Response to Intervention (RTI) however, provides an opportunity for schoolsto look at sound, research based educational practices that support student learning through the use oftiered interventions. The tiers are interrelated and action driven. Assessment is one tool within thetiered approach to learning. One of the most important aspects of RTI is that it is meant to be acollaborative, school wide approach to education that brings together teachers, specialists, specialeducation experts, and administration in an effort to help improve student achievement. Since RTI is notprescriptive, schools and districts across the nation are currently discovering how to implement RTI in ameaningful manner.
