Evaluating an RtI2 System

In this week we researched and reported our findings related to the problem solving process in a school and how that process is applied to understanding challenging student behavior. A problem solving process, such as Response to Instruction and Intervention (RtI2), should be in place at every school site as a means of determining a student’s lack of “response to instruction”. This can be students not mastering the skills, students having difficulty applying the knowledge they are taught, and/or some emotional or motivational circumstances impeding the learning process. 
The main goal of the RtI2​​​​ team should be to “maximize the academic and social, emotional, and behavioral learning, progress, and proficiencies of all students​​​​​​​”​​​​​​​ (Knoff, 2011, p.4). There is a process that must be followed within the classroom to determine if there is a need to progress from Tier 1 to Tier 2 and 3 interventions. Tier 1 within the classroom includes the classroom teacher providing differentiated instruction, working with colleagues/parents to collect student history, and based on previous findings, the teacher implements accommodations.
