Session Goals • The participants will: • Understand the culture of Murfreesboro City Schools and how RTI2 fits into that culture. • Understand the impact of intervention on district data • Understand what worked and did not work in last year’s implementation and changes for this year
Session Goal 1 Understanding the Culture of Murfreesboro City Schools and how RTI2 fits
CHANGEFROM teaching TO learningFROM isolation TO collaborationFROM intentions TO results
FOUR VALUES • Truth • Trust • Open Communication • Focus First on Children
FOCUS FIRST ON CHILDREN STUDENTS DIRECTOR TEACHERS PRINCIPALS C. O. STAFF DIRECTOR BOARD
PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES AND RTI2 1.What do we expect students to learn? (Tier 1—standards/expectations) • How will we know they have learned it? (Universal Screeners and formative assessment) • How will we respond when students experience difficulty learning? (Intervention-Tier 2 and 3) • How will we respond when students already know it? (Intervention Tier 2)
Session Goal 2 Understand the impact of intervention on district data
Movement Between Tiers • See Attached Charts • Kindergarten • Second Grade • Fifth Grade
Session Goal 3 Understand what worked and did not work in last year’s implementation and changes for this year
What worked well last year • Master Schedule • Intervention time built in • Common planning time for teachers (1X week PLC) • Sample Schedule
Mistakes we made last year • Too much time during PLC planning for intervention • Best prevention is SOLID Tier 1 Instruction (data team process) • Too little focus on Tier 2 instruction • Lack of fidelity in Tier 2 • Too much time spent on benchmarking and progress monitoring • Lost 3 months of intervention—need to streamline • Lack of focus during RTI meetings • Tight agendas
PLC Focus • PLC time to be focused on Tier 1 Instruction (not intervention) • Strategic training in the 6 step data team process • Strategic training in Common formative assessments
Focus on Tier 2 Instruction • Tier 2 option offered to all buildings (see handout) • Intensive training of Tier 2 teachers began last year • Ensuring SMALL GROUP, intensive instruction
Benchmarking and Progress Monitoring • Last year, our interventionists benchmarked the entire school one on one using AIMS • This year, benchmarking will be conducted in the classroom using NWEA (computerized assessment). • Last year, interventionists progress monitored ALL Tier 2 and Tier 3 students (reading and math) • This year, the interventionists are training the Tier 2 teachers to do their own progress monitoring
Benchmarking Time • Last Year • Kindergarten: 5 minutes per child • 1st grade: 5-7 minutes per child • 2nd-6th: 4 minutes individually; 11 minutes per class • Time to enter EVERY score • This year • Reading-50 minutes • Math-50 minutes • Group administration
Refocusing RTI meetings • Meetings every 4 weeks • Specific Agendas created for the two types of meetings • Post-Benchmark • Monthly Progress monitoring meeting
