RTI Process - Roadmap

​

Each child is universally screened using AIMSWEB three times a year or more.  The child either meets, exceeds, or does not meet benchmarks.  Instruction will vary based on the needs.  For a student that meets or exceeds benchmarks a child will receive high quality, differentiated core instruction plus additional challenges for those that exceed.  If the student does not meet benchmarks they will continue to receive a high quality, differentiated core instruction plus interventions based on student need.  Collaboration and results monitoring increase with the intensity of interventions.  The balanced assessment system includes universal screening, formative benchmark, and summative assessments plus progress monitoring increases with the intensity of interventions.
