  1. RtI-Response to Intervention…a data-driven approach to what we already do Leadership Conference-August 2009 EUPISD

  2. WELCOME • What is RtI? • Understanding the basics • Briefly going through the tiers

  3. Response to Intervention (RtI) • A research-based, tiered approach geared towards supporting our most struggling learners.  • A process that empowers general education to be accountable for ALL students.   • A process to improve academic and behavioral outcomes • Can help us identify if a student truly needs special education services • Applies to both academic and behavioral student achievement. • Utilizes data to make sound decisions about how to intervene with students, and if interventions are working • It is FLEXIBLE, FLUID, and RESPONSIVE to the student’s progress. • IT IS NOT A PROGRAM YOU SUBSCRIBE TO, BUT A PROCESS IN WHICH WE ADDRESS ALL STUDENTS

  4. 1. Problem Identification 2. Problem Analysis 3. Plan Development 5. Plan Evaluation RtI follows the Phases of Problem-Solving 4. Plan Implementation

  5. Who is familiar with the RtI Pyramid?

  6. How the RtI Tiers Work Specific intensive intervention, 1:1 1-5% Tier 3 5-10% Scientifically based supplemental instruction, homogeneous groups Tier 2 Quality Classroom Instruction using research-based strategies Tier 1 80-90% Students

  7. Don’t forget! Behavior Academics

  8. Examples • 4th grade class of 30 students • In Reading comprehension we might see 1 student that needs intensive 1:1 Tier 3 intervention 5 students that need Tier 2 small group intervention 24 students making it in the Tier one classroom

  9. Examples • 5th grade class of 30 students • In disciplinary problems we might see 2 students that needs intensive 1:1 Tier 3 intervention 3 students that need Tier 2 small group behavior intervention 25 students thriving under school-wide behavior supports

  10. Fitting it together PBS RtI Special Ed.

  11. Understanding the process • Universal Screenings • Tier I • Curriculum-Based Measurements • Tier II • Tier III

  12. UNIVERSAL SCREENINGS Implement Universal Screenings (example: DIBELS) and administer to all students at least three times per year, beginning in the kindergarten year. (kindergarten-usually start the screening mid-year and only 2 screenings)

  13. Note: Generally we look to devote resources to the lower 20th percentile of students • Again, generally you should have no more than 15% of your students in the lower 20th percentile of a universal screening. • If there is more, you need to rule out problems in curriculum and instruction

  14. Identifying problems • Identify any problem areas in measurable terms. **Assessment results need to be objective and specific, NOT opinion-based.** • Data allows you to develop a hypothesis about whether the issue may be curriculum-based or student-based.

  15. You have found students that are in the lower 20th percentile after a Universal Screening…What do you do? First you need to look at what you are doing.

  16. Tier I • EVERY STUDENT IS A TIER 1 STUDENT!!! • Aligned Curriculum • Differentiated Instruction • Highly qualified instructor

  17. TIER I PROCESS

  18. Tier II • TIER I INSTRUCTION DOES NOT STOP, TIER II IS IN ADDITION • Students who are in the lower 20th percentile on universal screening, or who are not responding to school-wide behavior supports and classroom management techniques

  19. TIER II PROCESS

  20. Tier III • TIERS I and II INSTRUCTION DO NOT STOP, TIER III IS IN ADDITION • Students who after at least 8 weeks of documented, research based intervention have not made progress • RtI Team/SAT Team with the teacher can decide to either try another Tier II intervention, or move forward to Tier III

  21. TIER III PROCESS
