  2. Illinois and Response to Intervention March 30, 2009 Presented by: Marica Cullen Illinois State Board of Education Daryl Morrison Illinois Education Association

  3. The Big Picture • Collaboration between stakeholders • Importance to all districts and schools • Impact upon all Illinois students

  4. Why Response toIntervention?The Legislation, Rules and State Plans

  5. IDEA Regulations - October 2006 The State • must not require the use of a severe discrepancy between intellectual ability and achievement for determining whether a child has a specific learning disability • must permit the use of a process based on the child’s response to scientific, research-based intervention

  6. Illinois Part 226.130 Rule (SLD Eligibility) Requires: • Use of a process that determines how the child responds to scientific, research-based interventions as part of the evaluation procedure described in 34 CFR 300.309 • Development and distribution of a State RtI Plan by January 1, 2008 by the State Superintendent

  7. Illinois Part 226.130 Rule Requires: • Illinois districts to complete a plan for transition to the use of a process that determines how the child responds to scientific, research-based intervention as part of the evaluation procedure by January 1, 2009 • Illinois districts to implement RtI as part of their evaluation procedure for making SLD determinations by the 2010-2011 academic year

  8. State RtI Plan

  9. Participating Stakeholder Groups • Illinois Education Association • Illinois Federation of Teachers • Illinois State Advisory Council on the Education of Children with Disabilities • Illinois Alliance of Administrators of Special Education • Illinois Association of School Administrators • Regional Offices of Education • Parent Initiative Centers • Higher Education • Illinois State Board of Education (Bilingual, Professional Certification, Accountability, Curriculum and Instruction, Special Education, Federal Grants and Programs)

  10. State RtI Plan Components • Introduction/Belief Statements for RtI • Definition of RtI and Problem Solving • Link between RtI and SLD Eligibility Determination • Process for Implementation • Implementation Timelines • Funding Considerations • ISBE Evaluation Plan • Supporting Resources

  11. Defining Response to Intervention (RtI): The Illinois Model

  12. Response to Instruction = RtI Approach for redesigning and establishing teaching and learning environments that are effective, efficient, relevant and durable for allstudents, families and educators • NOT a program, curriculum, strategy, intervention • NOT limited to special education • NOT new

  13. Essential Components Response to Intervention (RtI) consists of Three Essential Components: • High quality, research-based instruction/ intervention matched to student needs • Frequent use of data to determine learning rate and student performance level • Educational decisions based upon the student’s response to instruction/ intervention

  14. RtI is the Foundation of Instructional Improvement

  15. RtI Vocabulary • Interventions • Tiered Instruction • Universal Screener • Progress Monitoring Instrument • Data-Based Decision-Making • Problem Solving Model • Fidelity of Implementation • RtI

  16. Academic Systems Behavioral Systems Tier 3 Individual Students/Very Small Group Assessment-based High Intensity Tier 3 Individual Students/ Very Small Group Assessment-based Intense, durable procedures Tier 2 Some students (at-risk) High efficiency Rapid response Tier 2 Some students (at-risk) High efficiency Rapid response Tier 1 All students Preventive, proactive Tier 1 All settings, all students Preventive, proactive Multi-Tier Model

  17. Defining the Tiers • Tier 1: Core curriculum meets the needs of 80%* or more of the students • Tier 2: 20%* of the students may be identified as at-risk and require supplemental instruction/ intervention in addition to the core curriculum • Tier 3: 5%* of those students may be identified as needing more intensive, small group or individual interventions to supplement the core curriculum *Percentages will vary by district/school

  18. In Summary: What is RtI? • RtI = Academic or School Improvement • RtI = Good Teaching • RtI = Applying Sound Practices in Classrooms • RtI = Strong Partnerships • RtI = School Leadership • RtI = Using Data to Make Decisions • RtI = Increased Student Learning

  19. Writing a District RtI Plan

  20. Steps to Successful Plan Writing • Collaborate • Talk • Discuss • Collaborate Some More • Repeat Cycle Again

  21. District Self-Assessment Template Contains seven areas of implementation: • Consensus Building and Collaboration • Standards-Based Curriculum and Research-Based Instruction • Research-Based Assessment Practices • Student Intervention/Problem Solving Team Process • Intervention Strategy Identification • Resources Allocation • Ongoing Professional Development for Effective RtI

  22. District Self-Assessment Template • Each of the seven sections contains multiple indicators • Use each template section with stakeholders to assess the district’s current state of RtI implementation • Each set of indicators can also be used to generate discussion and to assist stakeholders in developing a greater understanding of RtI

  23. Access the District Improvement Plan • http://iirc.niu.edu/

  24. District is in Status District is not in Status District AYP Status Must Complete All DIP Sections Must Complete RtI Components

  25. Submitting the Plan • The RtI Plan is submitted by each district through the IIRC website (http://iirc.niu.edu/) when it is complete • Local Board Approval is still required for Districts submitting a full District Improvement Plan

  26. Reviewing the Plan • Staff teams at the Illinois State Board of Education will review RtI plans using the IIRC monitoring forms

  27. Some Resources

  28. Response to Intervention Web Resources • Information on Illinois RtI is available at www.isbe.net/RtI_plan/default.htm • The National Response to Intervention Center has information atwww.rti4success.org

  29. Plan Writing Resources • The E-Plans Resource guide found at www.isbe.net/sos/htmls/improvement_process.htm has been updated to include RtI • The RtI Self-Assessment Template found at www.isbe.net/RtI_plan/default.htmprovides a useful tool for writing teams
