What is RTI2-B?
Tennessee schools have a new initiative called RTI2-B. It is short for Response to Instruction and Intervention for Behavior. The goal of RTI2-B is to improve the school climate and to help students be as successful as possible at school. RTI2-B provides a structure for establishing clear expectations for behavior and helping every person in the building model those expectations. Every student gets to participate in RTI2-B. One important way students can participate in RTI2-B is to be on a student leadership team. If your school has a student leadership team, ask your teacher how you can get involved. If your school does not have a student leadership team, ask your teacher if there is a way to start a team. Remember, RTI2-B is intended to help students be successful both academically and socially, so student input and participation is the key to success!!!
