The reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in 2004 (IDEA 2004) focused national attention on a growing successful practice in the general education classroom – RtI as a tool for assessing and working with struggling learners.
RtI is the practice of providing high-quality instruction and interventions matched to student need, monitoring progress frequently to make decisions about changes in instruction or goals and applying child response data to important educational decisions.
