In RTI, which tier provides intensive, individualized interventions for students who do not respond to Tier I and II?

• A. Tier I: Core instruction
• B. Tier II: Targeted interventions
• C. Tier III: Intensive, individualized interventions
• D. Tier IV: Extended services

Answer: (C)

In RTI, supports escalate as a student’s needs become clearer. The most intensive, individualized interventions are provided at Tier III. After a student doesn’t respond adequately to the universal core instruction (Tier I) and to targeted interventions (Tier II), Tier III offers highly individualized, often one-on-one or very small-group instruction with more frequent progress monitoring. This level is designed to address specific learning gaps and determine whether further evaluation for special education is needed. Tier I is the universal instruction for all students, Tier II is targeted, small-group support, and extended services outside the standard RTI tiers aren’t the typical tier in the RTI framework.
