PowerPoint on Response to Intervention (RTI) and Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)

  Response to Intervention (RTI) and Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) are common programs that provide a framework for assessment, delivery of instruction, provision of supports, and guidelines for referrals for eligibility in special education. The law requires that teams document efforts to support students in general education settings before they can be referred for special education evaluation 

Using the 3rd Grade “Class Profile”, imagine you are the classroom teacher for these students. Review the profile and formulate a small group of students with whom you will implement RTI strategies. Using this group as an example, create a 15-20 slide digital presentation providing an introduction to the RTI for new educators.

Within your presentation, provide:

• An overview of RTI and MTSS, including an explanation of the tiers and how these systems can be used to enhance and adapt instruction.
• An explanation of the role of the child study team.
• A discussion and examples of the types of data collected throughout the RTI process.
• An explanation of what factors determine appropriate student placement within the RTI tiers. Refer to your example student group to illustrate specific ideas.
• An explanation of how the RTI model can help meet the needs of students without disabilities and as a means of adapting instruction prior to evaluating students for a disability.
• Five examples of research-based intervention strategies that you will use with students in your example student group who are struggling in English language, arts, or mathematics. Include justification for each intervention strategy.
• Description of the data that would be collected as part of implementing the research-based intervention strategies. Explain how this data could be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the RTI strategies and how this information could be used as justification for testing for possible special education eligibility.
• A title slide, reference slide, and presenter's notes.

Support your presentation with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
