I-RtI Network Fidelity at Tier 2
Outcomes Participants will: • Learner will identify tools/processes used to measure fidelity in their current school or district. • Learner will gain knowledge of the four components of fidelity and how each relates to MTSS components. • Learner will review sample fidelity tools and analyze components needed in individual districts/buildings.
Continuous Improvement Cycle Collaborative Instructional Planning PLC Questions What do we want our students to learn? Problem Solving Process Problem Identification How will we respond when some studentshave clearly achieved the intended outcomes? Plan Evaluation Problem Analysis Plan Development How will we know they have learned it? How will we respond when some studentsdon’t learn?
Planning for Fidelity Ensuring things go as planned…
Fidelity SASED, 2013
Curriculum • How do you identify the curricular area in which a student needs more instruction? • Does the need for intervention reflect a gap in your curriculum? • How does your Tier 2 support line up with your Tier 1 support?
Instruction • What is the research or evidence base behind the intervention strategy being used? • Was ample PD and training provided before implementing the intervention? • Who is making sure the intervention is taught/implemented according to directions? • Student attendance
Assessment • Does it measure student growth in the targeted area? • Is it reliable and valid? • Is data easily accessible and presented in an easily understood format? • Are the tests administered accurately?
Process • Is there ample time in the schedule for intervention and progress monitoring? • What data will be used to make decisions? • Are meetings regularly scheduled? • How are decisions made? • How do we assess if the intervention is effective?
How do you measure it? • Name one type of tool that could be used to measure fidelity of : • Curriculum • Instruction • Assessment • Process at Tier 2
Tools to Measure • Teacher log • Teacher report • Rating scale • Direct observation • Walk-through • Permanent product • Teacher evaluation instrument (Danielson or other)
Choose one tool that could be modified to your school or district needs. • Why did you choose that tool? • What will it measure?

Reflection • How has your definition of fidelity changed? • On what aspects of the Tier 2 RtI process do we need to monitor fidelity? Where are the strengths and weaknesses in your school or district? • At which levels within a school district do we need to monitor fidelity? District? Building? Classroom?Student?
Review Learner Outcomes: • Learner will identify tools/processes used to measure fidelity in their current school or district. • Learner will gain knowledge of the four components of fidelity and how it relates to MTSS components. • Learner will review sample fidelity tools and analyze components needed in their districts/buildings. One of the best ways to remember something is to test yourself.
