Is there a time limit on RTIs Tier 2?
Activities at any level of the Instructional Decision Making/Response to Intervention model should be conducted with integrity and long enough for the team to make valid instructional decisions…and no longer. Best practices described in the literature promote a 6 to 9 week time frame. Others suggest a number of instructional sessions (i.e., 20) as a target. The team must determine what instructional strategies will be used during Tier 2, and how long such instruction will need to be delivered in order to measure a student’s response to the instruction and make subsequent decisions. We will not impose an artificial time-limit, however common sense would dictate that any process that delays a decision beyond 15-20 weeks is probably not in the student’s best interest. The professional judgment and integrity of the team and the magnitude of the problem will determine the adequacy of the time frame.
