Response to Intervention (RtI) is an approach to understanding and addressing student needs at the systemic level. Through a general model of addressing all, some, and one-on-one needs, schools and districts develop a student servicing system that works with their unique resources, personnel, and student population.

RtI in Wisconsin has been defined as having:

• High quality instructional practice
• Continuous review of student progress (multiple measures)
• Collaboration

It is considered a PK-12 initiative that has applications for General Education, Special Education, Gifted and Talented, Title I, and English Language Learners.
