 * Response to Intervention (RTI)** is a model that basically helps educators communicate and plan for the process of meeting the needs of students in the classroom as an alternative to recommending students for special education services without first seeking assistance for dealing with academic and behavioral challenges in the classroom.


 * **Tier 1 - All students:** This model focuses on classroom interventions that can be implemented within the classroom to prevent the need for special education with appropriate differentiated instruction.


 * Tier 2 - Some students**: For students who need additional support in a small group of other students with similar needs, Tier 2 interventions can be implemented by the classroom teacher or a resource room teacher.


 * Tier 3 - Few students:** High-need students may require Tier 3 interventions which are more individual.

The RTI model recommends **formative assessment** be conducted to identify student needs. Once an intervention is identified to help the student, **progress monitoring** is necessary to see if the intervention is effective.

eInstruction's **CPS software** that comes with their **clickers** allows teachers to quickly **check for underst****anding** and to easily **monitor the progress** of all students. ||
 * **Tiers 1, 2, & 3 interventions** are designed to **actively engage** students in the learning.

eInstruction's **Mobi** in conjunction with the Interwrite **Workspace software** provides teachers with the ability to create and/or find interactive resources that engage students and increase understanding. The **Mobi** **motivates** students to participate which can be useful for both **academic and behavioral interventions**. || ||
