  1. RTI Strategies for 6-12 Teachers Ideas/Resources from Susan GingrasFitzell, author of RTI Strategies for Secondary Teachers Brought to you by Julie Jensen, Program Director 2011-2012

  2. The Four Driving Questions 1. What do we expect the students to know and be able to do? 2. How will we know when they have learned it? 3. What will we do if they don’t learn it? 4. What will we do if they already know it?

  3. Formula for Learning TI + T = L Targeted Instruction + TIME = Learning Mike Mattos, PRTI

  4. RTI Components Directive URGENT! Researched Based Timely Targeted Administered by trained staff Systematic

  5. RTI Tier One Tier one of RTI requires high quality classroominstruction that incorporates three non-negotiable components: 1. A standards-based core curriculum 2. Differentiated instruction so that all students learn. 3. A variety of authentic assessments geared to monitor student progress and guiding instruction.

  6. Reality • The reality is that until we differentiate instruction at the upper levels, a basic requirement of Tier 1 RTI, we are shortchanging all of our students. • Group work—Shifting Sands

  7. Standards-based Core Curriculum • Common Core State Standards • Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening Anchor Standards • Math Practice Standards • Science Three Parts • Social Studies being developed

  8. Targets • What do you want the students to know and be able to do? • Learning Targets-kid friendly language • 5-8 Targets per unit

  9. Differentiated Instruction • Differentiated instruction is teaching to different learning preferences and using a variety of teaching methods to reach all students. • When teachers differentiate instruction, 80% to 90% of students successfully meet achievement benchmarks.(Hanson 2009)

  10. Differentiated Instruction Student Centered Activities: • Menus with point levels of category choices • Choice Boards/TIC TAC TOE Boards • Reciprocal teaching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uyys7Mj-JeE • Partner Talk with assigned partners with responsibilities • Front-Loading • One liners • Stations • Games • Lead responses with academic language H:\my documents\Dropbox\Kearney PolySci T-P-S 1's & 2's copy.mov • Like prescribing medicine to eliminate the cause of the problem.

  11. How do we Differentiate Instruction? • What works? What might not work? • What are you willing to try? • How might this look in your classroom? • Changes?

  12. RTI Tier Two Tier Two intervention can be used in Tier one also but need three modifications: • more INTENSE instruction an application of strategies. • more TIME to practice and implement strategies. • Intensity of implementation may increase.

  13. RTI Tier Three • Interventions are more intensive implemented through a combination of in class instruction, outside of school instruction or in school instruction outside the classroom. • Instruction with greater frequency, more intensity and more time.

  14. Effective Secondary Models • Co-teaching model • Push In model • Break away from traditional mode of verbal, linguistic and auditory teaching • Student-Centered

  15. RTI in not! • A place • A program • Pull out • A Special Education initiative • A General Education initiative • A replacement class • It is REALLY TERRIFIC INSTRUCTION!

  16. Assessment—”I quiz every Friday!” • End of the unit(Summative) • State Testing(Summative) • Loss of Time Factor • Like giving an autopsy—too late!

  17. Authentic Assessment • Rubrics(Formative) • Exit Cards(Formative) • Curriculum-based Measurements(Formative) • Student self-evaluations(Formative) • Documented observations(Formative) • Like taking a temperature!

  18. Progress Monitoring • Easy and Quick to gather student data • Frequently-several days a week • Immediate feedback • Comparison to peers

  19. Acceleration Centers • Acceleration centers take a strand from the state standards and creates activities from very basic to advanced to stay in the room for semesters. • Choose a reading or math or CCR Anchor standard. • Develop activities from the basic to advance. Have at least five activities ready for each center. • Management of Centers

  20. RTI is • REALLY TERRIFIC INSTRUCTION • that is… • Researched -based • Frequent Assessments • Problem Solving

  21. TOP Three of RTI • 1. What is one thing your can take and use tomorrow? • 2. What is one thing you can do next week or share with someone else? • 3. What is one thing you can develop to have ready for May?
