Step 3

review context, supports, and response data

Step 4

bring a focused summary to the RTI team

Useful input, not vague impressions

Give the intervention team evidence it can discuss.

Connect each concern to observable examples, instructional context, supports attempted, and student response over a defined period.

Consistent questions

Ask each respondent about strengths, setting, strategies, and response so the team can compare perspectives.

Ratings with context

Pair frequency or impact scales with a required example and observation window. The number stays anchored to something the respondent actually saw.

Review-ready routing

Tag academic, engagement, and follow-up submissions, notify the appropriate coordinator, and keep supporting uploads with the response.

One workflow, different voices

Adapt the questions to who knows the student where.

Teachers report classroom patterns; families add home routines, strengths, concerns, and communication preferences.

Classroom teacher

Capture skill-specific concerns, instructional setting, recent examples, core supports, intervention exposure, and response across subjects or routines.

Parent or caregiver

Use plain-language prompts for strengths, home observations, helpful routines, family questions, and the easiest way to continue the conversation.

Intervention provider

Record schedule, sessions completed, group size, implementation changes, progress measures, student engagement, and barriers.

RTI coordinator

Use routing questions to identify the concern area, participating staff, records attached, and whether input is complete for the meeting.

Questionnaire workflow

Build focused RTI input in four steps.

Start with the team's question, then collect comparable observations for its review.

Choosing a collection method

Why a structured RTI questionnaire improves meeting preparation.

A focused questionnaire makes observation windows, context, supports, and examples visible before the team meets.

Field guide

What an RTI questionnaire should include.

Use six focused sections to move from a broad concern to specific, reviewable input. Adjust the wording and required fields to your school's process.

Strengths

Start with what works.

Ask about interests, routines, subjects, and settings where the student participates successfully.

  • Academic and personal strengths
  • Successful settings or routines
  • Interests and motivators

Concern

Use observable language.

Replace broad labels with a skill or behavior someone can see, count, or illustrate.

  • Specific skill or observable behavior
  • When the concern began
  • One recent concrete example

Pattern

Define frequency and context.

Set rating anchors and an observation period, then ask where the concern changes.

  • Frequency, duration, or accuracy
  • Settings and activities
  • Defined observation window

Instruction and support

Document what has already happened.

Collect the strategy, start date, schedule, provider, and consistency of delivery.

  • Core supports and targeted strategies
  • Dates, frequency, duration, and group size
  • Implementation changes or interruptions

Response

Connect supports to student response.

Ask what changed and which measure or observation informs that view.

  • Baseline and recent observations
  • Progress-monitoring measure and dates
  • Engagement and classroom transfer

Perspective and next step

Leave room for context and questions.

Invite communication preferences, relevant context, and respondent questions. Keep sensitive items optional.

  • Family and teacher questions
  • Communication preferences
  • Priority and follow-up availability

FAQ

RTI questionnaire questions

Practical answers for intervention teams collecting teacher, family, and provider input.

What is an RTI questionnaire?

It gathers structured input for a Response to Intervention discussion: strengths, observable concerns, context, strategies tried, response patterns, and examples. The school team interprets that information within its process.

What questions should be included in an RTI referral?

Ask about strengths, the specific concern, when and where it occurs, frequency, instruction and supports provided, delivery consistency, what changed, and a recent example. Add context only when relevant.

Should teachers and parents receive the same questionnaire?

Use shared themes but role-specific wording. Teachers address classroom instruction and performance; families address strengths, home observations, routines, questions, and communication preferences. Branching can combine both paths.

How do I make rating-scale answers useful?

Define endpoints, specify an observation window, request an example, and include a not observed option. Tie anchors to days or opportunities when practical.

Can respondents upload work samples or progress graphs?

Yes. Add labeled upload fields for work samples, logs, or graphs. Keep them optional when appropriate and follow school rules for access, sharing, and retention.

Can the form route academic and behavior concerns differently?

Yes. Use a concern-area question, conditional follow-ups, and coordinator notifications. Keep urgent safety reporting separate and point to the school's immediate-reporting process.

Is the RTI questionnaire generator free?

Yes. Makeform offers unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and reuse an RTI questionnaire without a response cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.

Does an RTI questionnaire make a diagnosis or team decision?

No. It organizes observations and perspectives; it does not diagnose or decide intervention, eligibility, or placement. The school team considers it with instruction, progress data, records, and local procedures.
