  1. Today’s Presenter Mellie Joiner, M. Ed. Keller Independent School District What about Tier 1?

  2. What about Tier 1? Creating buy-in to improve Tier 1 Instruction for ALL students Mellie Joiner, M. Ed.

  3. Goals for the session • Discuss creating an atmosphere of buy-in for all staff involved in the process • Identify key characteristics of strong Tier 1 instruction 2010 RTI Virtual Conference - Sponsored by

  4. What is RtI? (Response to Intervention) A model of support designed to improve the delivery of instruction for ALL students A model that relies on high-quality instruction and support for student success A model dependent upon the implementation of sound, research-based instructional practices At Tier 1, RtI is more “Response to Instruction”… but the emphasis should be on good differentiated instruction 2010 RTI Virtual Conference - Sponsored by

  5. A Basic RtI Model The model consists of three levels or “tiers” of intervention/instruction… • Tier 1: Core classroom instruction for ALL students with informal interventions as needed • Tier 2: Strategic Intervention for students identified as struggling in Tier 1; may be provided by the general classroom teacher • Tier 3: Intensive, structured intervention in groups of no more than 3 students for students who continue to struggle even with Tier 1 AND Tier 2 support 2010 RTI Virtual Conference - Sponsored by

  6. Why RtI? “Teaching, at its core, is a moral enterprise. It is about making a difference in the lives of students– ALL students, regardless of class, gender, and ethnicity.” Michael Fullan, 1995 2010 RTI Virtual Conference - Sponsored by

  7. Which Tier should be the FIRST area of focus? TIER 1!!!! • Is instruction for ALL learners • Makes up the majority of the students’ day, even if they receive intervention support • Is the CORE of learning opportunity • Tier 1 is the foundation upon which all future learning is built 2010 RTI Virtual Conference - Sponsored by

  8. If we shore up the instruction and learning in Tier 1, we can relieve the burden on Tier 2 and 3 support so that the students who are REALLY in need of that support receive it. 2010 RTI Virtual Conference - Sponsored by

  9. What does good Tier 1 Instruction require of the administrator? Support Knowledge of great instructional practices, grounded in solid research Support Knowledge of data and how to use all data effectively Support Feedback Support Knowledge of content AND critical thinking Reflection and Support 2010 RTI Virtual Conference - Sponsored by

  10. What actions from administrators help lead to buy-in from stakeholders? • Communicate • Dialogue • LISTEN • Get involved • Increase knowledge bases… their own and that of stakeholders • Reflect and respond 2010 RTI Virtual Conference - Sponsored by

  12. The Instructional Planning CYCLE 2010 RTI Virtual Conference - Sponsored by

  13. What should teachers consider when planning for instruction? • Instructional Delivery: Includes strategies and techniques… the “how” • Instructional Materials: The “stuff” used to support instruction… the “with what” • Instructional Environment: The instructional context… the “where” • Instructional Content: The curriculum of what students need to know and do… the “what” • Instructional Assessment: Beginning and ending; informal and formal; the “how do you know” • Collaboration: The way that all of the pieces of the learning process come together; teachers and staff working together to meet student needs… the “who” Adapted from Voltz, Sims, and Nelson (2010) 2010 RTI Virtual Conference - Sponsored by

  14. What are our next steps? Collect as much data as you can. Analyze that data looking for all kinds of trends and patterns. Look at what is working for ALL of your students and build on that. Look at what is not working for more than 20% (based on data) of your students and make a plan to improve. Repeat frequently. 2010 RTI Virtual Conference - Sponsored by
