response to Intervention for behavior (rti2-b)
Response to Intervention-Behavior (RTI²-B) is a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) that offers a powerful, evidence-based approach for meeting the behavioral and social needs of students in Tennessee schools. RTI²-B is a promising framework for prevention and intervention within an integrated, three-tiered approach.
