This document provides an overview of the Responsiveness-to-Intervention (RtI) framework, essential for educators, families, and students. RtI emphasizes a systematic approach to teaching and learning that is efficient, relevant, and sustainable for all students, not limited to special education. It details the core features of RtI, including universal, targeted, and intensive interventions, as well as the importance of evidence-based practices in ensuring success. Furthermore, it highlights the ongoing challenges and needs for effective implementation in educational settings.

PURPOSE Provide brief overview of features of Responsiveness-to-Intervention for EVERYONE in school
RtI: Good “IDEiA” Policy Approach or framework for redesigning & establishing teaching & learning environments that are effective, efficient, relevant, & durable for all students, families & educators • NOT program, curriculum, strategy, intervention • NOT limited to special education • NOT new
Quotable Fixsen “Policy is allocation of limited resources for unlimited needs • Opportunity, not guarantee, for good action” “Training does not predict action” • “Manualized treatments have created overly rigid & rapid applications”
Intensive, Individual Interventions • Individual Students • Assessment-based • High Intensity • Intensive, Individual Interventions • Individual Students • Assessment-based • Intense, durable procedures • Targeted Group Interventions • Some students (at-risk) • High efficiency • Rapid response • Targeted Group Interventions • Some students (at-risk) • High efficiency • Rapid response • Universal Interventions • All students • Preventive, proactive • Universal Interventions • All settings, all students • Preventive, proactive Responsiveness to Intervention Academic Systems Behavioral Systems 1-5% 1-5% 5-10% 5-10% 80-90% 80-90% Circa 1996
“Triangle” ?’s • Why triangle? • Why not pyramid or octagon? • Why not 12 tiers? 2 tiers? • What’s it got to do w/ education? • Where’d those %’s come from?
Tertiary (FEW) Reduce complications, intensity, severity of current cases Secondary (SOME) Reduce current cases of problem behavior Primary (ALL) Reduce new cases of problem behavior Public Health & Disease PreventionKutash et al., 2006; Larson, 1994
Tertiary Prevention: Specialized Individualized Systems for Students with High-Risk Behavior CONTINUUM OF SCHOOL-WIDE INSTRUCTIONAL & POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT FEW ~5% Secondary Prevention: Specialized Group Systems for Students with At-Risk Behavior ~15% SOME Primary Prevention: School-/Classroom- Wide Systems for All Students, Staff, & Settings ALL ~80% of Students

RTI Continuum of Support for ALL Few Some All Dec 7, 2007
Questions to Ponder • What is “scientifically/evidence-based” intervention/practice? • How do we measure & ensure “fidelity of implementation?” • How do we determine “non-responsiveness?” • Can we affect “teacher practice?” • Do we have motivation to increase efficiency of “systems” organization? • ???
Messages RtI logic is good thing for all students, families, & schools Still some work to refine technology, practices, & systems Implications & complexities for practice, systems, & implementation
