May 9, 2016

Mission

The Wheatland-Chili Central School District community is committed to

academic excellence which empowers all individuals to become motivated

learners and challenges them to excel as citizens in a global society.

Rationale

3

Response to Intervention:• Systemic, multi-tiered process

designed to ensure EVERY child may receive the additional time and support necessary to learn

and achieve at high levels.

4

"Learning styles and instructional needs vary from student to student, so we must provide each student with targeted

instruction—teaching practices that are designed to meet his or her individual learning needs. Students don't all learn at the same rate. Some will need more time to learn. That is the purpose of RTI—to systematically provide every student with the additional time and

support needed to learn at high levels."
