Response to Intervention in Practice
Making sure children are prepared for school at an early age determines how they will learn over the years. Unfortunately, many children with learning problems or who were ill-prepared for the classroom fall through the cracks, and their problems are left unnoticed until they are lagging far behind.
The Response to Intervention (RTI) program can help solve these issues by detecting problems early and enabling immediate intervention when students don't meet grade-level expectations. This issue of ASCD Express and Enhancing RTI: How to Ensure Success with Effective Classroom Instruction and Intervention, a new book on the topic, can help educators and parents get children prepared for school.
