What is Scientific Research-Based Interventions (SRBI)?

Scientific Research-Based Interventions (SRBI) is CT’s framework for Response-to-Intervention (RtI).  CT chose Scientific Research-Based Interventions (SRBI) to emphasize the role of general education.  The dual focus is on providing instruction and intervention in general education at the onset of a concern regarding academic and behavioral performance and on high quality instruction for all students through the use of research-based, effective instructional strategies

In a SRBI model, students are assessed using common assessments their academic and social progress is monitored and those experiencing difficulty are identified and supported as soon as the need is identified.  The curriculum is built on high-quality research-based instructional strategies and instruction is differentiated for all learners.  Data is collected and reviewed often.  It is used to drive both instructional decisions at the student level and to improve general education practices.
