Even though RTI is primarily linked to special education and the early identification of learning problems, RTI is not just for students in special education. RTI is for all students and is based on the premise that a student might be struggling due to instruction or the curriculum in the past, or in the current classroom.

The ability to resolve conflicts, especially with peers is a core component of social competence during childhood (Joshi, 2008).

Then you will be introduced to several activities that you will be able to facilitate in your program to improve conflict resolution skills.
