Response to Intervention

Can educators be responsive to the specific needs of students without an equity lens? Absolutely not. Equity commands that we provide every student with what they need to be successful and RTI supports educators in understanding student learning and designing services and supports that address specific needs. Response to Intervention is a practice that will effectively promote equity in education for all students in a well implemented professional learning community framework. Equity is the heart of our response to intervention work in education.

If we have learned anything through teaching during this pandemic, it is that the term “behavior” doesn’t simply refer to a disruptive student. The term behavior refers to academic behaviors (skill-based) AND social behaviors (will-based) and both need to be taught and reinforced in every tier of systematic SEL supports at your school.
