Intervention
The RTI model provides early help to children who are having difficulty learning. CTB products support the RTI model through universal screening, ongoing progress monitoring, and individualized instruction.
Overview
The purpose of RTI models is to provide meaningful and accurate identification of students who are struggling with learning, ensure each student receives high-quality instruction, and deliver every opportunity for students to be successful.

Universal screening assessments for use in the regular classroom alongside core instruction

Predictive or diagnostic assessments help support high-quality instruction and uncover early opportunities for intervention
- Progress monitoring assessments that can be quickly and frequently administered to determine student strengths and areas for targeted intervention
