Integrating DI and RTI in the elementary grades

While differentiated instruction is familiar to most educators, the principles and practices of Response to Intervention (RTI) are still emerging. This helpful guide examines the relationship between differentiated instruction and RTI through the eyes of the classroom teacher. Included are direct, clear, and practical strategies for simultaneously implementing DI and RTI that focus on classroom application rather than theory. Key topics include:

• How RTI and DI can work together
• How to analyze data as a basis for instruction
• How to apply RTI and DI to each individual student
