Ongoing student assessment . Universal screening and progress monitoring provide information about a student’s learning rate and level of achievement. Throughout the RTI process, student progress is monitored frequently to examine student achievement and gauge the effectiveness of the curriculum. Decisions made regarding students’ instructional needs are based on multiple data points taken in context over time. Advantages: Focused on academic skills, not presumed deficits, Focus on learning not current achievement, eliminates costly and time consuming testing, reduces false positives in testing. No longer the “wait to fail model” for identifying students with learning disabilities
