An effective Response to Intervention (RTI) program should allow educators to quickly differentiate between students who are at-risk or struggling and those who genuinely have special needs. However, many RTI models have come under criticism for not making this distinction fast enough, lengthening the time it takes for special needs students to get the support they need. Those critical of RTI programs also point to the inability of some RTI programs to accurately distinguish between special needs and at-risk students.
By integrating RTI and technology in your program, you can incorporate powerful data tools that will help you identify potential at-risk or special needs students faster and provide more finite differentiation than conventional methods alone. But knowing which route to take when it comes to integrating technology into any aspect of your school’s current programs can be confusing and even a bit overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created the Roadmap to Integrating Technology into RTI to help you get started.
Check out the infographic below to learn more about what you will need to consider when it comes to integrating new education technology solutions into your existing RTI program.
