Welcome family!

Welcome families! RTI is a proactive approach we use to identify and support students with learning needs early on. Think of it as a three-tiered system that helps us ensure every student receives the right level of support to succeed. This research-based framework helps us monitor progress and adjust instruction based on your child's individual needs.

RTI Tiers, look below for more details!

# data[].attributes.body
Tier 1 is our high-quality classroom instruction that ALL students receive. This includes:
• Daily literacy instruction (90 minutes)
• Research-based teaching methods
• Regular screening (3 times per year)
• Differentiated instruction to meet various learning styles

Best Practice Example: Guided reading groups with leveled texts

# data[].attributes.body
Students needing extra support receive Tier 2 intervention:
• Small group instruction (3-5 students)
• 20-30 minutes of additional instruction
• 3-4 times per week
• Progress monitoring every 2 weeks

Best Practice Example: Focused phonics instruction using multisensory approaches

Identification: Based on screening data and classroom performance below grade-level expectations.

# data[].attributes.body
For students needing more intensive support:
• Individual or very small group (1-3 students)
• 30-45 minutes of targeted instruction
• Daily intervention
• Weekly progress monitoring

Best Practice Example: One-on-one systematic instruction in specific skill areas

Identification: Limited progress in Tier 2 and continued performance significantly below grade level.
