Response to Intervention (RTI): The Georgia Student Achievement Pyramid of Interventions is the process of aligning instruction with appropriate assessment for all students. Response to Intervention (RTI) in Georgia begins in the general education classroom in which a rigorous standards-based learning environment is implemented by teachers. RTI is a tiered approach to provide levels of intervention for students needing support. To appropriately implement RTI, a school-wide common understanding of the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS), instructional pedagogy, and assessment practices are needed.
