Response to Instruction and Intervention (RTI2)

Response to instruction and intervention (rti 2 ).

Response to Instruction and Intervention (RTI 2 ) is a data-driven, multi-tiered approach to the early identification and support of all students, including those who demonstrate learning and behavioral challenges.  RTI 2 begins with high-quality, culturally responsive differentiated instruction, positive behavior systems, universal screening and data analysis of all children’s learning in the general education classroom.  When students are not yet proficient despite high-quality core instruction and positive behavior support, a team of educators comes together in a problem solving setting to identify the academic and behavioral needs of those students.

RTI 2 is not a particular program, but rather a process.  RTI 2 works with the Universal Learning Support System (ULSS) model adopted by Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD): it offers a way to systematically use data to identify who is not yet proficient and provide support to get students to meet grade level expectations.

Students who are not yet proficient academically are provided with targeted instruction and interventions at increasing levels of intensity and specificity in addition to quality core instruction to accelerate the rate of learning. Similarly, students who do not respond consistently to whole class and school-wide positive behavior systems are provided with additional supports and behavior interventions until he/she shows adequate progress.  Therefore RTI 2 is a fluid multi-layered approach.

More information on RTI 2 is being developed for a more complete explanation of how it works in BUSD.

California state law ( Senate Bill 277 ) no longer allows parents/guardians of students to submit a personal belief exemption form for any currently required immunizations.

Children who have not provided BUSD with documentation verifying they have received all required immunizations prior to the first day of school will not be allowed to attend school until all immunization records have been provided.
