RtI is often used as an acronym for Response to Intervention, the Indiana Department of Education has chosen to use Response to Instruction to reflect the focus on ALL learners, on teaching and learning, and on the critical role of the teacher in providing the most appropriate instruction.


About Indiana RTI:

AIR has worked with the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) through the Great Lakes East Comprehensive Center and the NCRTI to advance the state’s RTI initiative.

This work has resulted in the creation of a guidance document, the establishment of a leadership team, and the development of implementation policies and practices.

AIR has also supported IDOE in implementing professional development focused on RTI, and in supporting 11 pilot schools across the state in implementing RTI.

Components of RTI:
