  1. Response to Intervention (RtI) Math Alliance July 12, 2011

  2. WALT • Understand how RtI is being conceptualized in Wisconsin • Understand the IES Practice Guide recommendations for RtI in mathematics at the elementary and middle school • Analyze promises and challenges of RtI

  3. We will be successful when we can • Identify the characteristics of RtI • Make connections between the IES Practice Guide recommendations and what we are learning in Alliance

  4. What comes to Mind?

  5. What is RtI? • A process for achieving higher levels of academic and behavioral success for all students through high quality instruction, continuous review of student progress, and collaboration. Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction

  6. Wisconsin Model of RtIWisconsin Response to Intervention: A Guiding Document

  7. Multi-level System of Support • Identify students at risk or those needing challenges • Intervene or challenge • Monitor progress • Make adjustments in the interventions or challenges • WI Response to Intervention: A Guiding Document

  8. WI RtI Roadmap for Academic and Behavioral Success

  9. Culturally Responsive Practices • Account for and adapt to the broad diversity of race, language and culture in WI • Monitor who is successful with and without interventions/challenges and which are more successful with various groups WI Response to Intervention: A Guiding Document

  10. High Quality Instruction • Differentiated • Aligned with Common Core State Standards • All students • Interventions and additional challenges for those who need them WI Response to Intervention: A Guiding Document

  11. Balanced Assessment • More than one piece of data to make decisions • Universal screening- likelihood to meet benchmarks • Progress monitoring • Responsiveness (instruction and interventions) • Effectiveness • Formal or informal WI Response to Intervention: A Guiding Document

  12. Collaboration • Educators, families and communities

  13. RtI as Tiers

  14. note where Special Education is

  15. Note where Special Education is

  16. Some local decisions… • Number of levels in the multi-level system • Core curriculum and instructional practices • Screening and progress monitoring processes • Decision criteria for determining levels of support • Interventions and additional challenges • Collaborative structures

  17. Milwaukee Public Schools

  18. Milwaukee Public Schools

  19. Principles for the successful implementation of RtIin Wisconsin (selected): • RtI is for ALL children and ALL educators. • RtI is something you do and not necessarily something you buy. • RtI emerges from and supports research and evidence based practice.

  20. What are the promises of RtI?

  21. Institute of Educational Sciences (IES) Practice GuideU.S. Department of Education • Recommendations so that the number of children who struggle in mathematics can be reduced by using RtI • Developed by professionals from math and special education • Reviewed evidence from studies of low-performing students and those with specific learning disabilities • Identify whether evidence is high, moderate or low

  22. Eight Recommendations for RtI Intervention for Elementary and Middle Schools • Each recommendation has: • Level of evidence • Summary of evidence • How to carry out the recommendation • Potential roadblocks and solutions

  23. For your recommendation • Read the section on your recommendation (Skim or skip the summary of evidence) • As a group, clarify the recommendation, how the panel suggested it be carried out, and the potential roadblocks and solutions • Add roadblocks (and possible solutions) if you see them • Make connections to Alliance • React

  24. At your tables, create a poster

  25. Visit each poster • Take notes on the recommendations and connections to Alliance • Take notes on any other connections you see • React - and think about what is behind your reaction

  26. And now for the challenges…At your table, discuss and be ready to share …. • Challenges of implementing RtI • Challenges of implementing RtI in math
