It seems that when we think of RTI we focus the discussion on universal screening and progress monitoring. Though these are very important, the core of RTI is the instruction that is provided to the student. Universal screening is important because it helps us determine where our students are struggling so we know what instruction to provide. Progress monitoring is important because it shows us if the instruction that is provided is helping the student meet their goals. Without appropriate and effective instruction, students will not progress.
