  1. SLD Evaluation Panel Best practices, worst practices, challenges, successes, and new roles!

  2. Introducing our panelists • Tammy Stowers-Tonn, Westfield • Tracey Kelz, Almond- Bancroft   • Jess Faust, Oshkosh • Chris Birr Elmbrook • Todd Hrenak, Racine • Tiffany Helmke, Dodgeville • Johanna Chenous, Dodgeville

  3. And who is in our audience? • Any folks who are not school psychologists by training? • Any folks who primarily play other roles in their districts? • Any folks who have completed more than a handful of SLD evals using RtI?

  4. Culture eats planning for lunch… • We will cover some bigger picture RtI issues, answering the question, “How do SLD evals work in districts with very different models of RtI?” • We will also cover some nuts and bolts issues about evaluations: • SRBIs • Progress monitoring tools and aligning with selected intervention • The “F” word: Fidelity • Observation protocols • Use of diagnostic assessments and intervention selection

  5. A note about technology… • We created a public dropbox folder with materials from panelists • However, no one can get in… • I believe that if you access dropbox you can search for my public folder • I will post all materials on the public side of the WSPA Web site under “Resources” as soon as I can get online. Latest by the weekend.

  6. current system status • Please give a very brief overview of where your school/district stands on systematic RtI implementation. • What are your screening and progress monitoring tools? • What is your elementary reading core curriculum? • What are your interventions in elementary reading?

  7. role • What is the psychologist’s role in RtI in your school/district? • Has it evolved? • How fast?

  8. parents • What would the average parent know about RtI if asked? • How has parent communication been handled in your district as it pertains to RtI data and how students move through the tiers? • What about consent? Have you been asking for consent for intervention?

  9. interventions • Are interventions truly supplemental in your school/district, or do all students get “intervention?” • Have you done anything with providing intervention in such an intensive way that students are missing other activities or classes like Art, Music, PE?

  10. evaluations • Have you had any initial SLD evaluations using RtI yet? • What went well? • What was challenging? • Did any students qualify? • Do you think these same students would have qualified using discrepancy? • Under what part of the criteria did they qualify: gap increasing, gap closing too slowly, gap closing but resources too intensive? Talk about that discussion.

  11. Documenting appropriate instruction • How are you documenting appropriate instruction? • What did you define as “explicit and systematic instruction” in the 5 areas of reading?

  12. Exclusionary factors • Any good ideas for the exclusionary factors: economic or cultural factors, lack of instruction, etc.?

  13. Ethical issues • What new ethical issues have arisen for you as a result of this new evaluation model?

  14. Contact information • John Humphries • WSPA President-Elect • (608) 438-6109 • johnhumphriesncsp@gmail.com • Panelist Contacts • Warm “Thank You” to Panelists • One Fabulous Prize!
