Response to Intervention (RTI)

The purpose of the NH-RTI Task Force is to provide leadership through a state Response to Intervention (RTI) plan for NH school districts that supports the understanding and effective implementation of an RTI model for all NH children.

GOAL 1

• RTI Task Force will define and articulate salient components of RTI: NH proposed model/approaches, and how it meets a need for statewide systems (ID of students with LD and informing parents) by September 2008.
  

GOAL 2

• Articulate the integration of DOE systems, initiatives and processes.
  

GOAL 3

• Collect data about the status of RTI in NH districts:
  • Establish processes and tools for assessing a district’s readiness and for implementation of RTI.
  • Survey school districts across the state to establish the extent to which RTI is being implemented in NH.

   

GOAL 4

• Develop professional development plan and resources for districts.

Assisting Students with Reading: Response to Intervention and Multi-Tier Intervention in the Primary Grades

IES has released a practice guide on reading instruction and response to intervention. This guide offers five specific recommendations to help educators identify struggling readers and implement evidence-based strategies to promote their reading achievement. Teachers and reading specialists can utilize these strategies to implement RTI and multi-tier intervention methods and frameworks at the classroom or school level. Recommendations cover how to screen students for reading problems, design a multi-tier intervention program, adjust instruction to help struggling readers, and monitor student progress. Assisting Students with Reading: Response to Intervention and Multi-Tier Intervention in the Primary Grades can be found at http://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/publications/practiceguides/#rti_reading_pg
