The Tiers differ with respect to number of students in an intervention group, Time and frequency of interventions Interventions take place outside of classroom teaching. Tiers imply an order but, in RTI, the students enter and leave the Tiers as needed and as soon as their needs are identified. Students do not succeed in school because of will and skill Problems.
