Examine Response to Intervention (RTI) and Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) and examine at least 3 Evidence-Based Practices that can be used in RTI settings. RTI settings allow for a lot of room related to program delivery, so you should be able to examine how RTI and EBP are connected in real-life classrooms. You should also examine the role of evidence-based practices and the criteria that you used to determine if these interventions were adequately vetted classroom practices. This paper is not to be lengthy - a maximum of 5 pages (not including references; an abstract is not needed). The assignment rubric will be used for this assignment, but feedback will be in comments about your submission. This paper should reflect the professional literature, not your opinion.

Examining Response to Intervention (RTI) and Evidence-Based Practices (EBP)
IntroductionResponse to Intervention (RTI) is a multi-tiered framework designed to identify and support students with learning and behavioral needs through increasingly intensive interventions (Batsche et al., 2005). It comprises three tiers: Tier 1 (universal core instruction for all students), Tier 2 (targeted small-group interventions for at-risk students), and Tier 3 (intensive, individualized interventions for students not responding to Tier 2; Vaughn & Fuchs, 2003). Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) are instructional strategies validated through rigorous scientific research, demonstrating effectiveness for specific populations and contexts (Odom et al., 2005). This paper examines the connection between RTI and EBP, explores three EBPs applicable in RTI settings, and discusses the criteria for vetting these practices.
