Response to Intervention (RTI)

Not all students that fall behind or struggle in the classroom are learning disabled. Academic progress can be impeded by many factors including socio-emotional issues, circumstances in the home environment, and medical problems. Additionally, slipping grades may indicate a student’s weakness in one discipline or skill area, such as reading or math, which begins to manifest itself in all subjects. Without appropriate identification and intervention, many of these students fall through the cracks, ending up as a dropout statistic.

ODYSSEYWARE Online has proven itself to be a viable academic solution for students across the country that have failed in the past, and are at risk of dropping out. Students like Christina Perez from Canterbury High School in Montgomery, Alabama, whose mother, Andrea became a believer in ODYSSEYWARE when she experienced her daughter’s success.

“She wasn’t one that liked to go to school. She loves to go to school now. Her reading has improved tremendously. She was at a third grade reading level when she got here, and she is at a ninth grade level within six or seven months. That’s a miracle. And her math is through the roof.”

Data-based decision-making tools help teachers identify students, like Christina, who are in need of intervention to ensure their academic success. Assessment tools and the learning loop incorporated into the curriculum help teachers and administrators support students in need of intervention for academic or behavioral reasons. Once these students are identified, our ODYSSEYWARE Online curriculum simplifies adherence to the standards set forth in 2004 by The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) – clear standards, useful measurement, and sound instructional practices that support the enhancement of performance for all students including those with disabilities through a common system in which teachers and specialists can work together.
