RTI integrates assessment and intervention within a multi-level prevention system to maximize student achievement and to reduce behavior problems. Implementing the RTI process in a school or district takes time, planning, commitment, and resources.

3. Improved Learning for All Students RTI is an integrated general education approach that includes: ELL, gifted and talented, and Title I programs. RTI asks the question “ How can we support the learning of all students, no matter what barriers may exist for them?” RTI is transformative when implemented effectively.
