Which tier of RTI is intended for students requiring intensive support?

The tier of Response to Intervention (RTI) designed for students requiring intensive support is indeed Tier 3. This tier is implemented for students who have not made satisfactory progress with the interventions provided in the previous tiers. In Tier 3, interventions are more individualized and may involve more focused and frequent instructional sessions, often tailored to address specific needs that may not have been met by the general or targeted supports in Tiers 1 and 2.

At this level, data is continually collected to monitor the effectiveness of interventions, and adjustments are made based on the student's progress. The goal is to provide comprehensive support that can lead to improvement and help the student achieve academic success. Additionally, Tier 3 often involves collaboration with special education services if it's determined that the student may need more formalized assistance.
