Some of the core features are:
- Scientifically based instruction
 - Screening all students in the school
 - Three tiers of increasingly intense instruction. The first tier occurs in regular education.
 - Continuously monitoring students progress through objective tests. This monitoring is used to determine changes in how the child is taught.
 - Continuing progress monitoring throughout instruction and evaluating the changes.
 - Involving the parent throughout the process.
 - Following the timelines of IDEA 2004, unless both the parent and teacher agree to change them.
