The term “response to intervention” doesn’t show up in this article about a new gifted and talented program set to launch in some elementary schools in the Garden State, but that clearly seems to be what’s happening:
The [Gifted and Talented Enrichment Services] program works on a new approach to teaching being introduced into the elementary schools.

It is expected that students will display a willingness and ability to plan, monitor and evaluate their own learning experiences.
