Hampton Academy

Response to Instruction is a Multi-Tiered System of Support for Instruction and Behavior that Supports Implementation of the Common Core State Standards.

NH Definition of RTI New Hampshire Response to Instruction:

(NH RTI) is a data-based decision-making process. It is inclusive of a multi-tiered system that supports effective core instruction, promoting academic and behavioral growth and achievement for each learner based on universal screening and progress monitoring. RTI is a systematic integration of all of a school’s resources, including general education, special education, gifted education, Title I, and English Language Learning programs. Instruction, interventions, and supports are implemented with fidelity and are personalized and aligned with each student’s academic, social-emotional, and behavioral needs based on current valid and reliable data.

"RTI and its Multi-Tiered System of Support is an integeral part of the newly defined four pillars from the NH Department of Education. It assists in the mastering of standards, the prioritization of instruction and the utilization of assessment to generate meaningful data upon which sound instructional decisions can be made. RTI focuses on student-centered learning that will improve our teachers' ability to effectively prepare students for college and future careers."

-----Virginia M. Barry, Ph.D, Commissioner of Education, NH Department of Education
