Response to Intervention (RTI) is a framework that integrates assessment and intervention within a multi-tiered system to maximize student achievement. Districts may use up to 15 percent of IDEA funds for students who have not been identified as needing special education, but who may need additional academic support to succeed. Using DreamBox for RTI may ensure students get the extra help they need without requiring special education services.
DreamBox Learning helps schools and districts with RTI programs by:
- Offering tiers of instruction which adjust the intensity and nature of the intervention depending on a student’s individual progress.
- Ensuring teachers have accurate, real-time data about student progress via ongoing formative assessments and informative teacher dashboards that identify student progress towards meeting challenging academic standards.
- Increasing student achievement by using DreamBox Learning’s evidence-based adaptive instructional program.
- Offering students needs-based instruction focused on basic foundational concepts along with the appropriate practice for mastery.
- Utilizing continuous assessment and adaptation to provide individualized instruction and an appropriate level of difficulty for each student.
