“Classworks is a
critical component of
our Pyramid of
Intervention process.
Since putting it in
place, we have seen
improved performance
from students at every
level. The students
with the greatest need
have such a positive
response to
Classworks that it
makes an immediate
impact.”

Response to Intervention
When the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was reauthorized in 2004, along with it came a new wave in educational reform, Response to Intervention (RtI). RtI provides a new approach for identifying students with learning deficiencies rather than the traditional “waiting to fail” model.
Classworks provides the instructional interventions and all the tools you need to implement an effective RtI program that provides:
- Multi-tiered levels of instruction
- Screening and assessment
- Effective implementation
- Progress monitoring
RtI presents a unique set of challenges to educators. In addition to accountability for ensuring that all children learn state curriculum and are proficient at grade level expectations, there is a need to individualize instruction based on varying needs and to provide differentiated instruction to reach all students. Classworks helps you do all this and more. With Classworks, all students can be engaged in relevant instruction, working independently on the skills they need, receiving constant feedback and progressing at their own pace.
The Classworks RtI Model includes specific information on the “key elements” of RtI for students at each tier and then provides recommendations for using Classworks effectively for screening, instruction and progress monitoring. By using Classworks, teachers are able to target and individualize instruction while meeting the needs of the entire classroom; and the accountability tools provide the data needed to adapt instruction and ensure program effectiveness.
For more information on how the instructional model has been customized to meet your state’s specific RtI program, contact sales@classworks.com.
