Learn about the Response to Intervention (RtI) model and how it is used to provide research-validated interventions for students with academic delays. Monitor student progress and implement specific accommodations to help them catch up with their peers. Find out how the RtI framework is implemented at NASA and the intervention referral process.

Helping Students to Meet State Standards Through Response to Intervention N.A.S.A. Intervention Referral Process
What is Response to Intervention? • In the RtI model, a student with academic delays is given one or more research-validated interventions, based on data. The student's academic progress is monitored frequently to see if those interventions are sufficient to help the student to catch up with his or her peers
An understanding of the 3-tiered RtI framework and its foundational principles here at NASA: SPED Referral SST Referral Intervention Referral Within Tier 1, teachers should provide students with specific accommodations such as: graphic organizers, visual prompts, sentence frames, task analysis, extended time, differentiated instruction, and small group activities
Target Student Population here at NEW Academy of Science and Arts: • The majority of our students are English Language learners and come from low-income backgrounds, many of whom have families that just arrived to the United States. • Most children who are classified as learning-disabled are identified because of difficulties with reading. The acquisition of solidreading skills opens the doorway to all other academic disciplines as it provides children with unlimited access to new information while strengthening writing and speaking skills.
Sample Intervention Case Study – Language Arts Standards • Sam is a third grade student who has low reading scores. Sam’s strengths are in art, mathematics, and building activities (e.g. LEGO’s). The teacher refers Sam for Intervention because he has trouble with sounding, blending, and vocabulary. A third grade content standard for reading states that students will use sound patterns to decode multisyllable words. Another standard states that students will understand and explain common synonyms and antonyms. • How would the teacher fill out a referral form for Intervention?
Pull Outs: Tier 2 ---- 9 to12 weeks ---- 30 to 40 minutes ---- 1 to 3 times/week Tier 3 ---- 12-18 weeks ---- 30 to 45 minutes ---- 4 to 5 times/week Push Ins: No request for student intervention because I would be inside the classroom working with the students in accordance to your schedule. Pull Outs vs. Push Ins
What if a student already has an IEP? Can I refer him for Intervention? • No need to fill out the student intervention form because the student already has an IEP with goals. • Yes, students with an IEP may receive intervention if they are severely “at-risk”
