This Self-Assessment Tool designed by the Colorado Department of Education Exception Student Services Unit provides guidance to schools for the implementation process of a Response to Intervention model. According to the Colorado DOE, Response to Intervention is defined as follows:
- “… an approach that promotes a well-integrated system connecting general, compensatory, gifted, and special education in providing high quality, standards-based instruction/intervention that is matched to students’ academic, social-emotional, and behavioral needs. A continuum of intervention tiers with increasing levels of intensity and duration is central to RtI. Collaborative educational decisions are based on data derived from frequent monitoring of student performance and rate of learning.” (“Indicators of rti,” 2007, pg.1)
The tool outlined in the article will allow educators and schools to facilitate and monitor systematic implementation of the RTI model. The citation for this resource is provided below.
