Welcome

Thank you for visiting the RTI Action Network Web site, RTINetwork.org, your online guide to essential information about implementing Response to Intervention (RTI). The RTI Action Network is a national initiative dedicated to the responsible and effective implementation of RTI.  Funded by the Cisco Foundation, led by the National Center for Learning Disabilities, and supported by our nation’s top experts in RTI, this initiative seeks to guide frontline educators and families in the large-scale adoption of RTI.

The National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) has developed this comprehensive site to help facilitate and support the development, replication, scalability, and sustainability of RTI to improve educational outcomes for all students. Efforts focus on offering the strategies and tools needed for school-wide reform, accurate identification of students with learning disabilities, and parent involvement in the RTI process.

The NCLD team is committed to providing accurate, up-to-date, and helpful information through RTINetwork.org. We invite your comments, questions, and recommendations so that we can continue to respond effectively to your needs and requests.
