RTI
Washoe County School District aspires to be a World Class School District. Despite many successes in our progress toward achieving our mission, there is always opportunity for growth. High school graduation rates, for example, remain a significant concern (2007 data indicate 56% rate district wide). In pursuit of ensuring the opportunity for all students to achieve their potential, WCSD is aligning federal, state, and local education initiatives to infuse systemic change through Response to Intervention (RTI). RTI is a system that focuses on providing high quality and appropriate instruction to all students, as well as the early identification of at-risk students grades K-12. This system uses a three-tiered, problem solving model to provide specifically designed interventions to meet students’ needs. Critical to an RTI system is the use of universal screening and progress monitoring data to inform instruction, intervention, and all decisions.
