RTI refers to a collection of practices that involve identifying academic risk, intervening prior to full-blown academic failure with increasingly intensive interventions, and monitoring student growth. Guided by assessment data, children progress through a series of instructional tiers experiencing increasingly intensive instruction as needed. —Getty However, knowing what works and doing what works are two different endeavors.
