What are most important elements of Response to Intervention?

Some of the core features are:

  • Scientifically based instruction
  • Screening all students in the school
  • Three tiers of increasingly intense instruction. The first tier occurs in regular education.
  • Continuously monitoring students progress through objective tests. This monitoring is used to determine changes in how the child is taught.
  • Continuing progress monitoring throughout instruction and evaluating the changes.
  • Involving the parent throughout the process.
  • Following the timelines of IDEA 2004, unless both the parent and teacher agree to change them.
