Response to Intervention (RTI)/
Multi-tiered System of Support (MTSS)

Tier 1 Core Instruction should be fully aligned to RIDE-adopted content standards:

• Common Core State Standards for ELA/Literacy
• Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
• Next Generation Science Standards
• Social Studies GSEs
• World Class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA)
• Rhode Island Comprehensive Literacy Plan

RTI is a component of the Rhode Island Comprehensive Literacy Plan which supports educators in better understanding the components of literacy and implementation of best practices in daily instruction. Included are strategies, methods, and resources for assessment, intervention, and literacy in the content-areas.

A Comprehensive Assessment System is essential to a fully functioning RTI process.
