Elementary School What is RTI?
Welcome to Pittsville Elementary School’s Response to Intervention Website
RTI integrates assessment and intervention to maximize student achievement and to reduce behavior problems.The essential elements of an RTI approach are: the provision of scientific, research-based instruction and interventions in general education; monitoring and measurement of student progress in response to the instruction and interventions; and use of these measures of student progress to shape instruction and decisions.

To the right is a great example from Pittsville Elementary School of monitoring every child by face and name. This "data wall" helps to determine where interventions are needed to get all students to college / career readiness and graduation. RTI is a general education model encouraging collaboration with special education teachers. The core curricula designed by local teachers and educational systems serve as the basis for RTI. The RTI model is a three-tiered system. The first Tier, the primary level of prevention, requires universal screening of all students to determine the best educational strategies and also identify any students who may need more targeted interventions. The second Tier, the secondary level of prevention, calls for targeted assessment and explicit instruction for students who have shown to be at risk for behavior or learning problems. The third Tier, the tertiary level of prevention, defines intensive interventions for students who need the most assistance to succeed with the core curricula. The model is typically presented as a triangle, with the primary level at the bottom affecting most students and the tertiary at the top affecting the fewest.
