The philosophy behind RtI is that all children
whether general education or special education will
get the appropriate support they need to be
successful in school. Changes in general education
and special education mandates have supported this
philosophy. RtI requires individual schools to take
a closer look at how they are intervening for all
students. I have highlighted a school who has
successfully implemented what I think is the
beginning steps of a successful RtI model. RtI is
not easy to implement and there is no cookie cutter
model, it requires a collaborative school team to
work together to develop a plan that includes good
instruction, appropriate interventions,
implementation with fidelity, monitoring and
evaluating data, and continued administrative
support in order to help ALL students learn.
