Why is RtI an important educational strategy? Consider in particular the needs of students from diverse backgrounds
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: RtI allows for intervention for students not yet identified as having exceptionalities or who do not qualify for special services. Students from diverse backgrounds may be over- or under-identified as having exceptionalities. RtI acts as a safety net for students who may be overlooked or who fall just outside of the level of exceptionality needed for legal recognition. RtI also maximizes the amount of time students with exceptionalities can spend in the regular classroom by meeting their needs in place if possible.
