RtI – Response to Intervention/Instruction 1. Designed to provide early, effective assistance to students who are having difficulty learning. 2. Designed to function as one part of a data-based process of identifying learning disabilities
Why was RtI implemented?[1] • HR 1350, Improving Education Results for Children with Disabilities Act of 2003 • (A) Certain of the categories of disability that allow students to qualify for benefits under the IDEA have not been scientifically established and, as a result, some children who do not have actual learning disabilities are classified as having disabilities under that Act. • (B.) Nearly one in eight students is now labeled as disabled. • (C) Over one-half of those students are classified as having learning and behavioral challenges. [1] J. Randall Davidson, Ed.D.. Educational Consultant, PPT dated 11/14/2009
PL 108 446 IDEA 2004 • Changed how to identify children with specific learning disabilities. • IDEA 2004 says schools “shall not be required to take into consideration whether a child has a severe discrepancy between achievement and intellectual ability in oral expression, listening comprehension, written expression, basic reading skill, reading comprehension, mathematical calculation, or mathematical reasoning.” (Section 1414(b)) [1] J. Randall Davidson, Ed.D.. Educational Consultant, PPT dated 11/14/2009
Current Wisconsin Model for Specific Learning Disability (SLD)
Classroom achievement • looking for severe delays • Oral expression • Listening comprehension. • Written expression. • Basic reading skill. • Reading comprehension. • Mathematical calculation. • Mathematical reasoning.
Information processing deficit • a pattern of severe problems with • storage • organization • acquisition • retrieval • expression, • manipulation of information
In the explanation and commentary to the IDEA 2004 regulations, the U. S. Department of Education “strongly recommends” that schools use a response to intervention model that …uses a process based on systematic assessment of the student’s response to high quality, research-based general education instruction…that incorporate response to a research-based intervention… Identification models that incorporate response to intervention represent a shift in special education toward the goals of better achievement and behavioral outcomes for students identified with SLD…” [1] J. Randall Davidson, Ed.D.. Educational Consultant, PPT dated 11/14/2009
RTI follows the following core assumptions[1]: • Our educational system can effectively teach all children • Early interventionis critical to preventing problems from getting out of control • Implementation of a multi-tiered service delivery modelis necessary • A problem solving model should be used to make decisions between tiers • Research based interventionsshould be implemented to the extent possible • Progress monitoring must be implemented to inform instruction • Data should drive decision making. [1]National Association of State Directors of Special Education. (2005). Response to intervention: Policy considerations and implementation. Alexandria, VA: NASDSE, Inc.
Key Characteristics of RtI • Universal Screening of academics and behavior • Multiple tiers of increasingly intense interventions • Differential curriculum-based interventions • Continuous monitoring of student performance • Benchmark/Outcome assessment
Primary Level • Teaching that meets Core Standards • Teaching that ignites students’ interests • Assessment that measures learning • Monitoring of student success and needs
Secondary Level (RtI) • Recommended by grade level team/school psychologist • Small group or one-to-one interventions • Must be documented, 10 weeks (varies) • Include baseline and subsequent assessments • Research-based http://www.rti4success.org/ www.interventioncentral.org
Gen Ed teachers do the RtIs. Tier 1 is research-based classroom instruction and assistance. If this helps student, it will need to continue the next year until gap is closed.
Tier 2 is research-based small group instruction. • 30 min/3 x week/10 weeks. • Document, document, document. • Assess, assess, assess. • Must keep detailed records.
Tier 3 • One to one • 30 min/5x week/10-20 weeks • Researched-based • Spotless record keeping • Fidelity checks
What you will be doing… • Monitor/assess within your classroom • Teach using research-based methods • Identify students that struggle • Provide assistance when students are not doing well • Report to administration • Be involved in RtI as designated by administrative team Pick a card!!!
