Core Principles (Colorado Department of Education):
We believe that . . .
- ALL children can learn and achieve high standards as a result of effective teaching.
- All students must have access to a rigorous, standards-based curriculum and researched-based instruction.
- Intervening at the earliest indication of need is necessary for student success (Pre K-12).
- A comprehensive system of tiered interventions is essential for addressing the full range of student needs.
- Student results improve when ongoing academic and behavioral performance data inform instructional decisions.
- Collaboration among educators, families and community members is the foundation for effective problem-solving and instructional decision making.
- On-going and meaningful involvement of families increases student success.
- All members of the school community must continue to gain knowledge and develop expertise in order to build capacity and sustainability of RtI.
- Effective leadership at all levels is crucial for the implementation of RtI.

The greatest benefit of RtI is that teachers
across this state feel supported, and they feel like they
have a strategy that they can can use regardless of the
uniqueness of the child that might be in front of them.
But the hope is really for the child. -- Commissioner Dwight Jones |
