RTI is conducted in multiple tiers or phases that increase in instructional intensity, regardless of the approach adopted. The
S-Team at Rosa Parks Elementary School carefully considers both RTI approaches. They are encouraged that the problem-solving approach
has been in use for several decades, and they really like the individualization it could provide to their students. On the other
hand, they also like the consistency of implementation that would occur with the standard protocol, and they are impressed
with the research findings that back its effectiveness. Eventually, the S-Team recommends, and the teachers and principal agree, to try
the standard protocol approach.
