struggling learners. The RtI approach gives Texas
students opportunities to learn and work at their
grade level. The idea is to help all students be
successful.
RTI is…
NOT a program, curriculum, or intervention

uses a range of school-wide and
individualized strategies to achieve
social and learning results.
PBIS
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a framework
and proactive approach to establishing the behavioral supports
and social culture needed for all students in a school to achieve
social, emotional and academic success.

the needs of those harmed and works to put right the harm through
appropriate sanctions, restitution and restorative processes such as circles and
mediation.
