students of special need, and other at-risk populations.
Special Education
Response to Intervention
The School Based Response to Intervention (RTI) teams are designed to support the
learning of all students in our community.The intervention process is based upon powerful teaching and learning,
including formative assessment, that will drive our instructional practices in
all classrooms.
The RTI process is based upon early intervention and the
implementation of scientifically based interventions. Every Byron Teacher in grades K-6
collects comprehensive student assessment data.The teacher then shares their student
information with a site-level team, made up of expert and mentor staff.Together the team designs interventions for at
risk students, and challenging classroom experiences for the gifted population.
The RTI process will also address the needs of students and
families that may be in a state of crisis or special need.The District and staff are committed to
supporting and meeting the needs of all students. Please contact us if we can
be of assistance or have any questions.
The RTI Action Plan is based upon a very detailed
implementation and will be in the process of ongoing refinement over the next
three to five years.
Our Kids, Our Schools, Our Community. We go hand in hand.
