Now you can also use NEOs
for your Response to
Intervention approach
Response to Intervention (RTI) is designed to
ensure all students receive high-quality instruction
and those who are struggling receive the help
needed to succeed. Through progress monitoring
and data-driven decision making, an RTI
framework establishes a system of interventions
matched to student needs that are closely
monitored to determine which students are being
helped and which need more intensive support.
NEO laptops fit well into a Response-to-
Intervention framework because they provide the
personalized practice and progress monitoring
students and educators need to benefit from the
key ideals of RTI:
Evidence-based programs to support
l
high-quality instruction
Targeted interventions to help struggling
l
students catch up to their peers
Progress-monitoring information to drive
l
data-driven decision making
Support—including family involvement—to
l
make sure every student experiences
success
Due to reauthorization of the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), states are
permitted to use 15% of special education funds,
in addition to Title I funds, to support schoolwide
RTI plans.
NEO laptops, customer support, and ongoing
professional development opportunities mesh
with—and enhance—the goals of RTI and help
you excel in your RTI initiatives.
