RtI and Project MORE Granby Elementary “Where ALL Students Come To Grow”
District Goals By 2013, WCS will reduce the number of students achieving below proficient in reading by 10% annually in LEP and SWD subgroups.
Howdid we get these results? The Leadership and Learning Matrix Organizational Results Antecedents of Excellence • The vertical axis represents the results the organization wants to achieve. • The horizontal axis represents the degree to which the leader understands the causes of the results. Reeves, D. (2002) The Leaders Guide to Standards. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.
Change our Focus to Growth • WHY? • Looking at proficiency, it was hard to see a problem • Focusing on growth will produce proficiency but focusing on proficiency will not necessarily produce growth • We don’t want to reach for a specific bar, but rather have ALL KIDS continue to show growth regardless of where they started

Intervene Tier 1 flexible grouping
Tiers @ Granby • Tier 1 Instruction – Provide researched based best practices to ensure 80%+ growth for class • Tier 2 Intervention Examples: • Project MORE (60 students) • LLI (Leveled Literacy Intervention) • Reading Recovery • Tier 3 – Increase Frequency (how often) and/or Intensity (time) or Wilson Reading
Tier 1 – Benchmark • Student is progressing at grade level. • All instruction delivered within the reading block in the regular class setting using the core curriculum. • Student is progress monitored through the standard district-wide assessments three times per year. (Measures of Academic Progress; MAP) • Student consistently scores at or above grade level on testing. • 80+% of students fall in this category.
Tier II – 30-Minute Intervention • Student requires extra support to progress at grade level. • Student receives a moderate or high risk score on MAP, DIBELS, STAR, and/or district grade level benchmarks. • Student receives 30 minutes of specific skill instruction. This is in addition to the regular classroom instruction provided for all students. This service is in a small intervention group setting and/or one on one Project MORE instruction. This results in a total of 90-120 minutes additional reading instruction weekly. • Student receives Ongoing Progress Monitoring. • Intervention group instruction occurs with a maximum of 6 weeks per skill. • Classroom teacher, Reading Specialist, and Principal meet monthy to review student data and make decisions about interventions provided for individual students.
Tier II – Action Plan • If student shows minimal or no progress following 6 weeks of daily intervention instruction. AND student is at moderate to high risk on MAP, DIBELS, STAR, and/or district grade level benchmarks. • In most cases, classroom teacher initiates an IAT/parent conference. See Example Folder • Guidance will notify teachers, parents, and administration if IAT conference is scheduled. • Reading Specialist completes additional assessments such as DRA word analysis and LLI (leveled literacy intervention) applicable assessments to provide additional documentation for IAT meeting. • IAT meeting scheduled by Guidance.
