What is Prosocial Behavior

Response to intervention (RTI) is commonly recognized as a schoolwide, systematic service delivery model designed to support academic learning for all students. Similar to the delivery model for academics, behavioral RTI provides a continuum of schoolwide behavioral supports ranging from promoting a positive school climate in Tier 1 to implementing individualized behavioral interventions in Tier 3. This chapter analyzes the systematic, behavioral approach within each tier, including screening, assessment, progress monitoring, and subsequent data analysis. Discussion includes how to use these data to make data-based decisions, develop appropriate goals, and match student need to an appropriate intervention with effective reinforcers. Examples of evidence-based interventions are provided for each tier.
