What Is RTI? The New Hampshire RTI Task Force has adopted the definition created by a team of experts for the National Association of State Directors of Special Education (NASDSE):

“ Response to Intervention (RTI) is the practice of  (1) providing high-quality instruction/interventions matched to student needs and (2) )using learning rate over time and level of performance to (3) make important educational decisions. These three components of RTI are essential.” 1
