Response to Intervention Presented by: Agnes B. Domingo EDSP 6345, HBU, Spring 2014
Chapter Objectives • Describe the essential components of Response to Intervention (RtI) • Compare and contrast the different tiers of intervention • Discuss how RtI works as both an intervention and a pre-referral system • Describe the characteristics of curriculum-based measurement (CBM) and how educators use CBMs to progress monitor • Discuss emerging issues
The RtI Team: • General Education Teacher • Reading/Language Arts Specialist • Math Specialist • Interventionists (Reading and Math) • Administrators • School Counselor • Special Education Teachers • Parents
Curriculum Based Measurement • Aligned with the curriculum • It incorporates the same content that is covered during instruction and students are expected to respond the same way during assessment as they do during instruction • Technically adequate • Results are reliable, and they measure the content that they are expected to measure • Administered and scored using a standard procedure • Used to observe trends in student performance through ongoing assessments.
Responding to Diversity • High Quality Instruction: • Instructional practices should promote proficiency in first and second languages/dialects • Teachers should use culturally responsive pedagogy and curricula for literacy development, academic content and social skills • Teachers should build positive relationships with culturally and linguistically diverse families and communities
Emerging Issues • When students do not respond to secondary intervention: • How many interventions should we try? • For how long? • The implementation of interventions and intervention fidelity
