  1. Featured Topic: Response to Intervention -Model for reallocating existing school resources. -Address students’ learning difficulties. -Not one “best” RtI model (Thanks to the Atlas Initiative for Public Education for the material in this presentation.)

  2. Traditional Referral and Evaluation Procedures • Referral to Instructional Support Team • Then referral to school psychologist • Then qualified for special education services • Then receive services

  3. The Discrepancy Model • IQ test • Achievement test • Then help those who have fallen far enough behind.

  4. Checkup #1 • Turn to the person next to you and explain how the discrepancy model can fail some children. • What are some possible solutions to this problem? • 5 minutes

  5. 'False Negatives' & 'False Positives' • Some qualify for services when not needed. • Some do not qualify for services when desperately needed

  6. Universal Screenings • All students are screened in an RtI framework

  7. Evidence-Based Instruction & Interventions • Designed to support educators • Can’t make conclusions about students if assessment means are flawed. • Rule out instructional variable

  8. Checkup #2 • Turn to a different person next to you and explain why instruction should be evidence-based. • What are disadvantages of using non evidence based instruction? • 5 minutes

  9. RtI: A Tiered Intervention Framework • Multiple levels (tiers) of evidence-based interventions • 3-tiered models are common

  10. Interventions in an RtI Framework Supplement the General Curriculum • Students targeted for tier 2 also receive tier 1 education. • RtI is a supplemental service, not a replacement

  11. A Focus on Instructional Variables • Special education evaluation only starts when all instructional possibilities fail.

  12. Progress Monitoring • RtI enables schools to regularly and objectively monitor students’ progress

  13. Checkup #3 • Form groups of roughly 2 people • What are some questions you have at this point? • 5 minutes

  14. Curriculum-Based Measurement  • Must use validated practices for progress monitoring • CBM a common tool used for this

  15. Why Do It? • Favored by many educators • Reliable • Valid

  16. Interventions without Labels? • Interventions based on learning needs, not labels. • Eliminates “wait to fail” • Immediate intervention linked to demonstrated need

  17. Checkup #4 • Form groups of roughly 4 people • What are some questions you have at this point? • 5 minutes

  18. A Shift in Mindset • Changing from a system that we’ve used for decades. • “Have we done everything we can to help this student succeed within general ed?”

  19. The Challenge that RtI Presents • Research supports benefits of RtI • How will RtI fit in your school’s traditional framework • Shift in how we think about students’ needs
