(Teaching & Learning) RtI/CEIS 2012-2013

1. (Teaching & Learning)RtI/CEIS 2012-2013

2. RtI Response to Intervention (RtI) is a process of implementing high-quality, scientifically validated instructional practices based on learner needs, monitoring student progress, and adjusting instruction based on student response.

3. RtI Response to Intervention (RtI) is the process of teachers changing their instruction based on how well the students responded to it.

4. RtI Has become the national model for successfully reaching students when they are just beginning to fall behind expected benchmarks and providing appropriate supports and interventions at increasing levels of intensity.

5. CEIS(Coordinated Early Intervening Services) Are provided to assist students in K-12th grades who are not currently identified as needing special education or related services, but who need additional academic and/or behavioral assistance to enable them to be successful in a general education environment.

6. Purpose of Department • Facilitate Effective Implementation of RtI Process • Provide support with Research- and Evidence-Based Approaches to Early Intervention for Students Struggling with Learning or Behavior • Facilitate/Train/Assist Universal Screening Process/Progress Monitoring • Analyze Academic & Behavior Data • Support SST Teams • Administer Diagnostic Assessments

7. Important Information When the general education, or Tier 1 instruction, in the district is solid and done with fidelity, 80-90% of our students will experience SUCCESS!  The RtI process involves: 1. Identification of Struggling Students (both academically and/or behaviorally) 2. Diagnosis of Specific Learning Gaps and/or Deficits 3. Creating Plan for Interventions & Goal Setting 4. Providing Appropriate Interventions (with integrity and fidelity) 5.Progress Monitoring 6. Data Analysis & Student Outcomes

12. Creating Plan for Interventions & Goal Setting INSTRUCTION is the KEY • Identify the classroom(s), teacher(s), student(s), and other resources needed to implement the intervention. • Define short-term and long-term criteria of success • Specify intervention activities and schedule for implementation • Make sure everyone involved is trained prior to implementation

13. Creating Plan for Interventions & Goal Setting INSTRUCTION is the KEY • Do you need to “increase” or “decrease” behaviors? • What skills (or prerequisite skills) need to be taught? • What skills does the teacher have and/or need? • What must the parent do?

15. Progress Monitoring • Collecting/closely monitoring/documenting student performance data • Used to make adjustments in instruction and/or determine what is working or what has changed • Indicates effectiveness of instruction for individual students and/or grade levels • Motivates students and teachers to continue the work during intervention times • Demonstrates that RtI IS working!

16. Data Analysis & Student Outcomes • Evaluates Effectiveness of Instruction and Overall Approach to Intervention • Informs Instruction/Instructional Decisions • Discusses Student Progress (Adequate or Inadequate) • Determines Movement of Students Between Tiers • Determines When Exit Criteria Have Been Met
