Workshop OverviewLinking Assessments to Interventions: Skills to Supporting RTI Implementation Matthew K. Burns Ph.D. Professor of Educational Psychology, Co-Director of the Minnesota Center for Reading Research, Coordinator of the School Psychology program at the University of Minnesota.
TIER Problem Solving • Tier I – Identify discrepancy between expectation and performance for the class or individual (Is it a classwide problem?) • Tier II – Identify discrepancy for individual. Identify category of the problem. (What is the category of the problem?) • Tier III - Identify discrepancy for individual. Identify causal variable. (What is the causal variable?)
Multi-Tiered Academic Intervention – Tier I • Universal screening and progress monitoring with quality core curriculum: ALL students • Question to ask- Is this a classwide problem?
Reading Instruction in Elementary School • Two hours each day (90 minutes core; 30 minutes supplemental) • Explicit instruction • Free-choice reading • Word study • Writing
Resources - National Reading Panel Google; free – Resource for what effective teachers do
Classwide Need and Instructional PLC • What do highly effective teachers do? • What do we as a TEAM do? • How will we know if it works? - What data can we collect? (outcome) - For what will we look? (process) • What will we do next? - What is the implementation plan?
Math Assessment - Screening • Measures of early numeracy - oral counting - missing number - number identification - quantity discrimination • Monitoring Basic Skills Progress - math computation - math application
Math Assessment – Screening (cont.) • Star Math • Multi-skill computation probe - www.mathfactcafe.com - 25 problems - skill by columns - 4 minutes
Math Assessment – Screening (cont.) Standard • Instructional Level - 14 DCPM among 2nd and 3rd graders - 24 DCPM among 4th and 5th graders • Proficiency Level - 17 DCPM among 2nd and 3rd graders - 29 DCPM among 4th and 5th graders
ELA Screening - Kindergarten • Phonemic Awareness - Initial Sound Fluency; ISP - Phonemic Segmentation Fluency; PSF - Rhyme - Initial sound deletion
ELA Screening – Kindergarten (cont.) • Letter Knowledge - Naming letters Fluency; LNF • Graphophonemic Knoweldge - Letter Sound Fluency; LSF - Nonsense Word Fluency; NWF (also decoding)
ELA Screening – Other Grades • First Grade - word list - spelling - reading fluency • Second through Sixth grades - reading fluency at grade level
You have the data? Now what? Intervention plan – 15 minutes per day • Protocol-based classwide peer tutoring • Model, Guided practice, Independent Timed Practice with delayed error connection • Math- • Scan papers for high error rates • Do 5-min. re-teach • Provide applied practice using mastery-learning
Classwide Intervention http://kc.vanderbilt.edu/pals/
Grade level Team Meeting - Benchmark • Is there a classwide need? • Who needs Tier 2? • Did we miss anyone? • What should we do for Tier 2? • Should we go Tier 3?
Multi-Tiered Academic Intervention – Tier II • Standardized interventions with small groups in general education: 15% to 20% of students at a time • Question to ask- What category is the deficit?
Assess 4 NRP Areas • Phonemic Awareness - Phoneme segmentation fluency • Phonics - Nonsense word fluency (WJ Pseudoword) • Fluency - Oral fluency (TOSCRF) • Vocabulary/Comprehension
Florida Center for Reading Research www.fcrr.org • Click – For teachers • Click – Interventions for Struggling Readers • Click – Supplemental and Intervention Programs http://www.fcrr.org/FCRRReports/CReportsCS.aspx?rep=supp
Math • Elementary - Work backwards in curriculum to find instructional level - Practice with procedural
Multi-Tiered Academic Intervention – Tier III • Individual interventions with in-depth problem analysis in general education: 5% of students at any time • Intensive problem Analysis?
Instructional Level/Instructional match • Sufficient prior knowledge & skill to successfully interact with the task while still learning new information • Match: student skill + instructional material = important functional variable for stedent learning within RTI
Comprehension ELA Instructional Hierarchy YES Assess Fluency Fluent? (ORF) START HERE NO Assess Phonetic Skills Adequate? (LSF, NWF) Fluency Intervention Accuracy or Proficiency YES NO Assess Phonemic Skills Adequate? (PSF, ISF, CTOPP) Phonics Intervention Accuracy or Proficiency YES NO Phonemic Awareness Intervention
