Responsiveness to Instruction (RtI) What’s New in North Carolina?
Objectives • Become familiar with the current work of NCDPI regarding Responsiveness to Instruction (RtI) • Know the key differences between the four and three tier RtI model • Understand the critical components of RtI as a framework for school improvement
North Carolina Problem-Solving Model • 2000 Study began • 2004 Five pilot sites • 2006 State wide training • 2008 Regional training & trainers • 2010 General education partnership • 2011 Implementation Science • 2012 Transition to RtI three tier model
NC DPI Definition of RtI NC Responsiveness to Instruction (NCRtI) is a multi-tiered framework which promotes school improvement through engaging, high quality instruction. NCRtI employs a team approach to guide educational practices, using a problem-solving model based on data, to address student needs and maximize growth for all.
Critical Components of RtI • Leadership and Shared Responsibility • Curriculum and Instruction • Assessment • Problem-Solving/Data-Based Decision Making • Family and Community Partnerships • Sustainability and Integration
Adjusting Mindsets Process for some students Framework for total school improvement
Why Shift? • Place focus on problem-solving core for total school improvement • Increase focus on general education • Movement away from viewing RtI as a process to a framework for all students • Integrate with Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS)

Layering of Support Intensive Support Supplemental Support Differentiated Core
Foundational Core: Tier I Who: All students are in Tier I (Core) What: Evidence-based programs and practices demonstrated to produce good outcomes for the majority of students Effectiveness: If at least 80% of all students in all subgroups are meeting benchmarks in Core (with no additional support)
Tier I – Three TierFocus on Core • Includes all students • Focus on all students across a grade and response to core • Document on one grade level problem-solving form • Monitor response (of all students) to instructional changes
Tier I – Focus on Core • Enhanced core • Increased academic engaged time • Less paperwork • Less progress monitoring
Analyzing Core • Are at least 80% of your students proficient in each subgroup with foundational core alone? • What is working? Why? How do you know? • What’s not working? Why? How do you know? • Do teachers have needed skills & content knowledge?
Supplemental Instruction: Tier II Who: Students needing supplemental support in addition to Core instruction (approx. 20% of students) What: Evidence-based programs and practices demonstrated to improving performance in Core Effectiveness: If at least 70-80% of students improve performance (towards Core standards) Slide adapted from G. Batsche
Tier II – Supplemental + Core • Instruction is connected to core content • Supplemental instruction does not supplant core • Documentation is on same form for individual student • Analysis of effectiveness of Tier II instruction for all students (towards Core Standards)
Intensive Instruction: Tier III Who: Students needing intensive support in addition to supplemental and Core instruction (approx. 5% of students) What: Evidence-based programs and practices demonstrated to improving performance Effectiveness: If there is progress towards performance (in Core standards) Slide adapted from G. Batsche
Tier III – Intensive + Supplemental + Core • Instruction is most intensive in the building • Increase intensity and frequency (time, duration, or digging deeper in specific skill) • Documentation is on same form for individual student • Analysis of effectiveness of Tier III instruction for all students (towards Core Standards)
