RtI+&+PBIS+Overview

RtI is an integrated approach that includes general, remedial and special education. It is based on a tiered model that monitors student progress with different levels of intervention intensity. By providing researched-based intervention to students, monitoring progress on interventions, and using this information to determine who is in need of more intensive services, RtI further builds on the requirements of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act.

Nationally RtI is known as Response to Intervention. North Carolina has chosen to call it Responsiveness to Instruction. Why the difference? Intervention sounds like Special Education. Instruction ties the initiative to student achievement and away from Special Education.

To help support this initiative in the county, there is a District RtI Team. The team consists of: Dr. Robin McCoy (Assistant Superintendent of C & I), Carrie Little (Director of Elementary and Secondary Education), Derrick Jordan (Director of Secondary Education), Marjorie Barber (Director of Exceptional Children), George Gregor-Holt (Director of Student Support Services), Carlene White (Language Arts Instructional Program Facilitator), Susan Pressley (EC Instructional Program Facilitator), Janice Frazier (Principal of Perry Harrison), Chad Morgan (Principal of Silk Hope), Allison Buckner (Assistant Principal of Siler City Elementary), Michelle Daniel (Teacher at Silk Hope), Brittany Lasater (Teacher at Siler City Elementary), and Spencer Register (Differentiation Instructional Program Facilitator), and representation from other schools will be added.
