1. Overview of the RTII ProcessSeptember 20, 2012 .

2. Let’s Paint a Picture of RtII in Dover Davonna Rickard Terri Landis Katrina Rothrock Ellie Edman

3. District Timeline • Hanover team comes to DASD fall of ‘06 to train K-4 buildings in “sweep” procedure for universal screening. • 06-07 DIBELS sweeps in 5 buildings K-6 • Spring 07 IGDIs training for K teachers • Summer 07 AIMSweb training prior to school start

4. District Timeline • 07-08 AIMSweb sweeps (inclusive practices grant) extending CBM to math and early numeracy and K readiness skills • Progress monitoring done through IST/LS • 08-09 fall PM training all staff K-6 • Core Literacy Training K-6 (Dr. Eisenhart) • 09-10 Performance Tracker • Core Literacy Training K-6 (Dr. Eisenhart) • STAR Assessments 11-12 - School/District Level Planning Improvement Plan

5. Current Practices • Sweeps fall, winter, and spring for universal screening reading and math for K-6 • Study Island benchmarking seasonally grades 3-8 • Additional Out of Level Assessments (CORE) • Progress monitoring students below green….. • Yellow students monthly, red students weekly • Leadership team meetings 3x a year at a minimum • Grade level collaboration 3 x a cycle • Secondary RtII

6. Academic Systems Behavioral Systems • Intensive, Individual Interventions • Individual Students • Assessment-based • High Intensity • Intensive, Individual Interventions • Individual Students • Assessment-based • Intense, durable procedures • Targeted Group Interventions • Some students (at-risk) • High efficiency • Rapid response • Targeted Group Interventions • Some students (at-risk) • High efficiency • Rapid response • Universal Interventions • All students • Preventive, proactive • Universal Interventions • All settings, all students • Preventive, proactive Designing School-Wide Systems for Student Success 1-5% 1-5% 5-10% 5-10% 80-90% 80-90%

7. ADDING TO OUR TRIANGLE • GIFTED • ESL • ALL LEARNERS

8. A Recent History of Dover Area School District’s Curriculum Based Assessments (And yes…. The changes, additions, and confusion )

9. Brought to DASD roughly 5+ years ago. Used for universal screening of academic concerns (Reading only) Intended to be used 3x/year to quickly screen all students Eventually all students K-6 were being screened in Reading (intended to be a quicker screening than the DRA). Replaced after only a few years with AIMSweb Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS)

10. AIMSweb • Was full implemented for the 2007-2008 school year. • Replaced DIBELS but screened in a similar way for Reading, yet, added the MAZE component. • Allowed for benchmarking to occur in Math. • Teachers now had the data immediately at their fingertips by going to AIMSweb.com • Assisted in discussions at Building and Grade Level Team Meetings. • Used in parent conferences as a graphical representation of their child’s performance. • CONCERN: Not diagnostic…. Provided somewhat limited information …. Only really an indicator.

11. STAR • Product of Renaissance Learning • Will effectively replace AIMSweb for Universal Screening (however elements of AIMSweb will remain) • Various components: STAR Early Literacy, STAR Reading, STAR Math (STAR Enterprise coming soon)

12. Examples of District Data

13. Examples of District Data

14. Response to Instruction and Intervention Plan….The Beginning • RtII Committee was formed and completed LIU training with support from school psychologists • RtII committee met on a regular basis to review district data and discuss • Intervention Specialist (IST) worked with building staff to develop building intervention plan

15. Response to Instruction and Intervention……2012-2013 • RtII Committee met to develop a District RtII Plan • Set a definition of RtII as a District • Define a Purpose as a District • Define and Outline Tiers of Instruction and Intervention • Assessment Map • POD/PLC Agendas • Parent Information • Intervention Flow Chart/Behavior Flow Chart • Common Behavior Forms • Continuous development of Secondary RtII

16. Response to Instruction and Intervention….2012-2013 • Roll out the Plan and Follow it! • Each building Principal and Interventionist will roll out the updated district plan in multiple settings • Training provided for instructors of specific interventions • Intervention Specialist and teachers will refer to plan during POD and Collaborative Meetings • RtII Committee will continue to meet and update plan as needed

17. What’s Next: • Continue to inform parents of universal screening results, progress monitoring, and intervention plan • Fidelity in Tier III Assessments • Parent notification of support offered • Communication • Wiki and E-Chalk http://dasdintervention.wikispaces.com

18. IN Conclusion: OUR GOAL is ….. • To create an Educational System that focuses on success for ALL LEARNERS!
