Response to Intervention/Instruction







Wisconsin Response to Intervention/Instruction


Wisconsin’s framework for Response to Intervention/Instruction (RtI) was initially developed with input from stakeholders through the State Superintendent’s Collaborative Council. As a result RtI in Wisconsin has been defined thus:

RtI is a process for achieving higher levels of academic and behavioral success for all students through:

Successful implementation of this framework in Wisconsin is based upon the following seven principles:

  • RtI is for ALL children and ALL educators.
  • RtI must support and provide value to effective practices.
  • Success for RtI lies within the classroom through collaboration.
  • RtI applies to both academics and behavior.
  • RtI supports and provides value to the use of multiple assessments to inform instructional practices.
  • RtI is something you do and not necessarily something you buy.
  • RtI emerges from and supports research and evidence based practice.
