The Road to AYP: Response to Intervention Santa Rosa District Schools Data Team Training September, 2009
NCLB On January 8, 2002, NCLB was signed into law. Americans united behind a revolutionary idea: every child can learn. The law confirms that as a nation, we will not accept a public school system that educates only a portion of its children.
AYP in Florida • 76% of schools in Florida did not make AYP • 70% of schools in Santa Rosa County did not make AYP • 59% (10/17) of Elementary Schools did not make AYP • 71% (5/7) of Middle Schools did not make AYP • 100% (4/4) of High Schools did not make AYP • 100% (2/2) of Combination Schools did not make AYP • 47% (14/30) of schools are in corrective action.

Response to InterventionThe overarching purpose of RtI implementation is to improve educational outcomes for all.
RtI Defined Response to Intervention is an approach that promotes a well- integrated system connecting general, compensatory, gifted, and special education in providing high quality, standards-based instruction & intervention that is matched to students’ academic, social- emotional, and behavioral needs. A continuum of evidence-based, tiered interventions with increasing levels of intensity and duration is central to RtI. Collaborative educational decisions are based on data derived from frequent monitoring of student performance and rate of learning.
ULTIMATE PURPOSE of RTI Remember the ultimate purpose of Response to Intervention is to : enhance the success of students with a variety of academic and behavioral needs.
Core Principles • All children can learn and achieve high standards as a result of effective teaching. • All students must have access to rigorous, standards-based curriculum and research-based instruction. • Intervening at the earliest indication of need is necessary for student success (PreK-12). • A comprehensive system of tiered interventions is essential for addressing the full range of student needs.
Core Principles • Student results are improved when ongoing academic and behavioral performance data are used to inform instructional decisions. • Collaboration among educators, families and community members is the foundation to effective problem-solving and instructional decision-making. • Ongoing and meaningful involvement of families increases student success. • All members of the school community must continue to gain knowledge and develop expertise in order to build capacity and sustainability. • Effective leadership at all levels is crucial for the implementation of RtI.
