Response to Intervention (RTI) was accepted in the early 2000s as a new framework for
identifying learning difficulties (LD) in the U.S. In Finland, a similar multi-tiered framework
has existed since 2010. In the present study, these frameworks are presented from
the viewpoint of the role of assessment and instruction as expressed in documents
that describe the frameworks, as it seems that these two components of RTI are the
most disparate between the U.S. and Finland. We present a suggestion for the Finnish
framework as an example of support in mathematics learning that incorporates principles
of RTI (such as systematized assessment and instruction, cyclic support, and modifiable
instruction). Finally, recommendations are presented for further refining and developing
assessment and instruction policies in the two countries.

Response to computer-assisted intervention in children most at risk for mathematics difficulties
Salminen, Jonna (University of Jyväskylä, 2015)Evidence of an association between poor early number skills and a high risk for later difficulties in mathematics manifests a need for both early identification of risk and effective prevention of difficulties. However, ... -
Experiences of Educational Support for Mathematical High-Ability Children in Finland : A Netnography of Parental Perspective from ECE to the School Context
Harju-Luukkainen, Heidi; Björklund, Camilla; Sandberg, Erja; Rhinehart, Laura (Springer, 2022)Children who are high achievers in mathematics are statistically uncommon. For this reason, very little evidence is available on how this group is supported in preschool and later on in school contexts. In Finland, the ... -
