Which of the following actions is NOT typically part of the RTI process?

• A. Progress monitoring
• B. Curriculum-based measurements
• C. Universal screening
• D. Individualized Education Plan development

Answer: (D)

RTI is a proactive, data-driven framework used in general education to identify and support students with learning difficulties through a multi-tiered system of supports. The process begins with universal screening to flag students who may be at risk. As instruction proceeds, progress is tracked frequently using curriculum-based measurements, a form of progress monitoring designed to measure growth in the skills being taught. The data from these checks guide decisions about continuing, intensifying, or changing interventions.

Developing an individualized education plan belongs to the eligibility and planning phase for special education. While RTI data can inform decisions about eligibility, the actual creation of an IEP is not a routine part of the RTI process itself.
