Oregon's Response to Instruction & Intervention Initiative (ORTII)

ORTII Project Purpose

The purpose of ORTII is to provide technical assistance to Oregon school districts implementing Response to Intervention (RTI) systems that provide targeted, effective instruction to meet the needs of all students and provide the framework to identify students with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD). The focus of the project is on literacy, early intervention, and the use of evidenced-based practices.
