6. Second Section of Notebook Form Form Form Form Form Form Form Form Form L1 L2 1M QC5 2F QC9 L4 IP QC2 Classroom Observation form is used to assess the consistency of the delivery of high-quality, classroom instruction and how the student is responding to the instruction. Tier -2 Follow-up Meeting form is used in stage 3 of Tier-2. This meeting takes place to evaluate previous interventions, determine placement options, and discuss next steps in the RtI process. The Intervention Plan form is developed for each identified concern for each identified student. It assists with developing the plan, listing resources, implementation, and monitoring. RtI Effectiveness Survey is used to provide an overview of expectations for the RtI approach. It is also used to guide the team as they work to implement the RtI process. Tier -1 Initial Meeting form is used in stage 1 of the RtI process. All steps on this form correspond to the steps on the Tier -1 Quick Reference Guide. RtI Professional Development Needs Assessment Survey form is completed by all staff members and compiled to formulate a campus-wide RtI professional development plan. The RtI Team Leader Activity Checklistis to be used by the RtI Team Leader to complete and maintain a record for each student who is referred for RtI services. Parent Invitation/Notification for RtI Meeting form is used to invite parents or guardians to an RtI meeting to discuss ways to better meet the needs of their child. Ensure all teachers complete the Request for RtI Services formfor all students identified and submit to RtI Team Leader.

16. 3-Tier Intervention Flow Chart Tier -1 • Provide high-quality core instruction and behavioral supports by highly-qualified teachers. • Conduct universal screenings. • Analyze student data and make recommendations. • Initiate the Tier-1 Initial Meeting for students who fail universal screenings. • Provide whole or small group differentiated instruction. • Implement scientifically research-based interventions and monitor progress regularly using Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM). • Document interventions and monitor progress in the Intervention Plan. • Conduct a Tier-1 Follow-up Meeting and make placement decisions. If the interventions are successful, return student to core instruction and continue to monitor progress. If the interventions are not successful, refer student to Tier-2. Click to advance

17. 3-Tier Intervention Flow Chart Tier -2 • Complete the Tier-2 Referral. • Hold a Tier-2 Initial Meeting. • Develop an Intervention Plan. • Provide small group targeted skill instruction that supplements and reinforces • high-quality core instruction and behavioral expectations. • Provide small group interventions in 8-12 week cycles. • Use CBM to determine intervention effectiveness and student’s responsiveness to interventions. • Document interventions and monitor progress in the Intervention Plan. • Conduct a Tier-2 Follow-up Meeting and make placement decisions. If the interventions are successful, move student to Tier-1 or core instruction and continue to monitor progress. If the interventions are not successful, refer student to Tier-3. Click to advance

18. 3-Tier Intervention Flow Chart Tier -3 • Develop an Intervention Plan. • Provide intense, individualized interventions in addition to core instruction delivered by highly-trained staff. The interventions target skill deficits. • Use CBM to closely monitor the effectiveness of interventions and the student’s responsiveness to the interventions. • Document interventions and monitor progress in the Intervention Plan. • Conduct a Tier-3 Follow-up Meeting and make placement decisions. If the interventions are not successful, the RtI team determines whether or not to continue Tier-3 interventions or to refer a student to Section 504, special education, or other district options. If the interventions are successful, move student to Tier-2, Tier-1, or core instruction and continue to monitor progress. Click to advance

24. Developing Effective Interventions Developing Effective Interventions Follow a step-by-step process of problem solving to identify problems and hypothesize the reasons problems are occurring for students. Prioritize when multiple problems are identified. Develop an intervention plan that focuses on one or two major concerns. Focus on a specific skill area in academic and/or behavioral domains when selecting interventions. Use data to match interventions to student’s needs. Verify that interventions are research-based. Ensure the plan is carried out in a timely manner by a skilled individual. Monitor delivery of interventions for fidelity and integrity. Determine the success of an intervention by using the questions in the Implementation Guide Team Member Notebook. Revise or adjust interventions based on data. Click to advance
