 What is RTI2?

     According to Arlington Community Schools (2016), RTI2 is a data-driven, multi-tiered system that consists of instruction and intervention that identifies students' specific skill problems in math and reading and math with small-group instruction to address the deficits.

What does the RTI2 model look like?

    The RTI2 model consists of three tiers, and each tier represents various levels of support for students.

Tier 1: Students are provided with high-quality and evidence-based instruction in the general education classroom incorporated initially with universal screening and ongoing assessment to guide instruction.

Tier 2: When students are not responding to Tier 1, they are then assessed, and a determination is made for them to be placed in tier 2. Tier 2 students will receive Tier 1 instruction and given interventions designed then implemented to meet the students' specific deficits. Throughout this tier, progress is monitored weekly or every other week to evaluate the progress of each students' particular skills. 

Tier 3: When students are not making sufficient progress in Tier 2, they are then referred to Tier 3 to receive more intensive intervention in math along with instruction from Tier 1. Progress is also then monitored weekly or every other week to evaluate progress in each students' specific skills.
