Answer explanation

Response to Intervention (RTI) is a multi-tier approach to the early identification and support of students with learning and Behaviour needs. Consists of Tier 1 -3.

In the Response to Intervention (RTI) framework, is universal screening conducted at:

• Tier 1

• Tier 2

Answer explanation

The RTI process begins with high-quality instruction and universal screening of all children in the general education classroom. Struggling learners are provided with interventions at increasing levels of intensity to accelerate their rate of learning.

Who is responsible for monitoring Tier 1 progress? (including reteach)

• Classroom teacher

• Reading teacher

• Learning Support teacher

• MTSS team

What would a teacher not do at the Tier 1 level in the classroom

• Teach individual students needing intensive intervention

• Provide extra assistance to students needing small group instruction.

• Teach all students in the classroom

• Conduct a six week targeted intervention on an individual student(s)

What comes first when an individual student is identified as having difficulty with learning in the classroom after universal screening?

• Teacher gathers data

• Teacher reaches out to Learning Support teacher for a pre-Tier 1 meeting

• Teacher conducts their own classroom assessments

• All of the above.

What is the purpose of the Pre-Tier 1 Learning Support meeting?

• To identify areas of concern

• To provide support and guidance with Tier 1 documentation procedures for intervention

• To guide with strategies for intervention

• All of the above

Answer explanation

The pre-Tier 1 Learning Support meeting is an added layer that is provided so that teachers have the support before conducting Tier 1 interventions. Before RTI the problem solving team determines the academic or behavioral difficulties and they try to come up with strategies that may work before proceeding with the RTI process.

What is Tier 1 support in the everyday classroom?

• Refers to interventions that are provided to small groups of students who need more support

• Refers to the high quality instruction that is provided to all students in the classroom

   

• Refers to the interventions that are provided to individual students.
