Response to Intervention (RTI) uses a combination of high-quality instruction, assessment, and evidence-based intervention tailored to individual student needs. It involves frequent progress monitoring to make academic and behavioral decisions. RTI ensures all students receive quality instruction and struggling learners are identified early. Content mastery programs provide specialized academic support for special education students to help them master curriculum through collaboration between general and special education teachers. Students benefit from individualized instruction, inclusion in general classrooms, and differentiation of their education plans.
