  2. Where Did SIT Go? • As a Special Ed. Referral system, SIT is gone • The problem-solving and intervention process should still be alive and well as part of your school’s unified response to identified needs - RTI. • Through the RTI process, you learn a great deal about students and their strengths and needs.

  3. Are We Doing RTI Yet? • RHSD3 schools are reviewing student data and developing school based responses to identifiedstudent needs • Tier 1 – Classroom Response/Daily Instruction • Modified lessons; in-class support; grade-level teams • Tier 2 – Grouping Response/Supplemental Instruction • RIT band instruction; data-based instruction, data notebooks, grouping by formative data results, grade-level and cross-level teams • Tier 3- Individual Response/Intense Individual • Reading Recovery; expanded grade-level teams, individual child study teams

  4. What is Special Ed.’s Interest? Special Education must provide a procedure for seeking out and identifying students with disabilities to provide specialized instruction. New state/federal regs REQUIRE intervention data …a referral process

  5. RTI and SIT Are Not the Same RTI SIT RTI is a school-wide process targeting groups of students RTI is proactive The aim of RTI is improved student skills RTI is designed to support and improve defined skills through systematic instruction for smallgroups and individual students SIT is an individual problem-solving process SIT is reactive The aim of SIT is to refer students for evaluation SIT is designed to identify and specify areas of need for identification and classification Aligning RTI and SIT 9/7/2014
