IDEA // RTI // FBA // BIP: Processes, Roles & Responsibilities
The Education Law, IDEA, is specific about the model that undergrids the spirit and impetus of IDEA, specifically, Prevention and Intervention. This perspective highlights the understanding that addressing issues and problems students’ may experience is best accomplished by intervening with quality instruction (both academic and behavioral), prior to or as early as possible of the issue arising. This understanding is extended to ensure that all students achieve academically, as well as, behave and participate in society by exhibiting age and grade-appropriate behaviors.
