Educators typically follow a process for identifying students  who struggle and implement a series of steps for providing  individualized instruction. While the Response to Intervention (RtI)  process is presented within the regulatory notes of the 2004  reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), it  pertains to all students, not just those with identified disabilities.  In fact, many schools and districts use RtI prior to special education  referral.

In this assignment, you will create a graphic/flowchart outlining  the steps for ensuring students are receiving the help they need.

Step 1. Review
Review your current school or  district Response to Intervention (RtI) plans for identifying and  designing interventions for readers and writers who struggle. Gather  data, including input from other educators to determine the  effectiveness of the existing plans.

Step 2. Redesign
Redesign the current plan to improve the process or to create the process, if needed.

Step 3. Create
Using the new plan’s information, create a flowchart outlining the steps for helping students who struggle.

Step 4. Reflect
Write a summary reflection about any changes made to the original plan and how you will share this information with others.
