Response to Intervention Services

Response to Intervention (RtI) is designed to identify students who may be at-risk for poor academic performance and intervene by providing supplemental interventions targeted to their learning needs. The overall purpose of RtI at Mexico Academy and Central School District is to help students achieve the learning standards in English language arts and mathematics in grades K-8 and social studies and science in grades 4-8.

RTI integrates assessment and intervention within a multi-level prevention system to maximize student achievement.  With RtI, MACS uses data to 1) identify students at risk for poor learning outcomes, 2) monitor student progress, 3) provide evidence-based interventions and adjust the intensity and nature of those intervention depending on a student’s responsiveness, and 4) identify students with learning disabilities.
