Response to Intervention

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) directs schools to focus more on helping children learn by addressing problems before a child is so far behind that a referral to special education services is required. IDEA underscores the importance of providing high-quality, scientifically-based instruction and interventions, and holds schools accountable to meet state grade-level standards.

Intervention Solutions to Help Struggling Students

McGraw-Hill Education’s intervention programs are for students who have fallen behind or need extra help to reach grade-level standards. These programs, which provide elementary and secondary school teachers with research-based instructional routines and explicit direct instruction to support students dealing with barriers to comprehension, combine traditional print materials with digital tools that help teachers maximize individual performance in reading, math, and science (see range of programs primarily under IDEA).
