Response to Instruction and Intervention (RTI²) in Tennessee

Across the country, states are focused on intervening at the first signs of academic challenges—often called a Response to Intervention (RTI) method—to address deficits in student learning. In Tennessee, we have Response to Instruction and Intervention (RTI²), which is Tennessee’s academic three tiered framework for teaching and learning that begins with high-quality, differentiated instruction throughout the day and emphasizes intervening with students when they first start to struggle to avoid prolonged academic difficulties.
