Response to Intervention

A rationale for using Response to Intervention (RtI) with gifted students is to help the student succeed in a skill or area, especially if they have the desire to learn and the teacher sees potential in the student. The interventions are a set of teaching procedures that resembles a pyramid that shows the risk of proficiency should a student decide to exhibit above grade level. The interventions (Tier1, 2 and 3) are compatible with gifted students because they strategically help the teacher decide based on how well the student responded to the before and after the test. The tests reveal strong and weak areas to improve upon so that the student can excel/reach the academic growth (Brown, 2012).
