Response to Intervention (RtI) is used to improve student achievement and increase student success.

There are 3 tiers in RtI:

1. Instruction in the Core Curriculum program based on State Standards - 80 to 100% of our students fall in tier 1. We need to utilize the most effective instruction possible to ensure success at this level. To reach mastery in tier 1 we need to teach based on our students' needs, differentiate instruction, and reteach if needed.

2. Intervention designed to address areas of difficulty - 5 to 15% of our students fall in tier 2. These are small group interventions designed to address instructional challenges. Here we need to identify students who are lacking the prerequisite skills for standards and provide support to them.

3. Provide intensive instruction to students not reaching mastery in tier 2 - This is one-on-one instruction for students who need intensive help and who lack effective strategies for learning. In tier 3 our goal is to make sure that any student who needs intensive support is able to receive help in addition to their regular classroom instruction.

Why are we doing this?
 * We want our students to be successful each and every day in Bulldog Nation.
 * We want them to have the knowledge and skills they need to be successful when they leave us.
 * We want ALL children to learn.
