More About RtII…

• RtII applies to reading, writing, math, behavior, etc.

• All interventions must be research-based and provided with fidelity

• Intervention periods must be done for 6-8 weeks to be effective

• Multiple interventions must be tried at each Tier before moving on to the next

• Improvement occurs slowly and gradually over time which makes data collection important

• Same intervention can be done at multiple Tiers with a decrease in group size and increase in frequency/intensity (e.g. Number Worlds or Wilson at Tiers 2 and 3)
