What this tool does

The RTI Scheduler is a lightweight alternative to a full student information system when you only need a clean placement board: who goes to which intervention block, which names are still unassigned, and a printable snapshot for team meetings or classroom doors. It fits common language such as Tier 2, Tier 3, and custom session titles your school already uses.

Because planning happens locally in your browser, you can iterate during a meeting without waiting on IT provisioning—as long as you are comfortable keeping roster information on that device per your district policy.

How to use the RTI Scheduler

1. Import your roster. Upload a CSV or paste from a spreadsheet. Check that student names look correct in the roster list.
2. Configure sessions. Rename or add intervention blocks (for example two Tier 2 groups and one Tier 3 intensive column) so the board matches your building schedule.
3. Assign with drag and drop. Move each student from the pool into the right column. Rearrange anytime before you print.
4. Set schedule details. Add a schedule title, date, and optional school name or logo so the PDF matches your communication style.
5. Print or download PDF. Use the preview section to print or save a PDF to share with your team.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTI Scheduler for?

The RTI Scheduler helps intervention teams quickly assign students to Tier 2 small groups, Tier 3 intensive blocks, or other custom sessions. It is built for short planning windows: import a roster, arrange names on a board, then print or save a PDF for colleagues, families, or hallway displays.

Do I need an account or school login?

No. RTI Tools does not require sign-in. You can open the scheduler and start working immediately.

Where is my roster stored?

Roster names, placements, schedule title, date, optional school branding, and related settings are saved in your browser (local storage) on this device only. Data is not uploaded to RTI Tools servers for processing during normal use.

How do I import students?

Use “Import roster” with a CSV file, or paste columns copied from Excel or Google Sheets. The tool parses common header names for student names. You can edit the roster after import.

How do I assign students to tiers or groups?

Drag each student card from the unassigned pool into a session column (for example Tier 2 — Group A or Tier 3 — Intensive). Drag between columns to move someone. Everyone left in the pool appears on the printable “Unassigned pool” list.

How do I print or export a PDF?

Scroll to “Print & PDF preview.” Use your browser’s print dialog for paper, or “Download PDF” to generate a file from the preview. For best results, use a recent version of Chrome, Edge, or Firefox.

Can I use this on a phone or tablet?

The scheduler is optimized for desktops and laptops with a mouse or trackpad. Small screens may feel cramped; planning and printing are easiest on a larger display.

How do I clear everything and start over?

Use the reset or clear options in the tool (where provided) and refresh if needed. Clearing browser site data for this origin also removes stored scheduler data. See the Privacy page for details on local storage.
