What is (RtI)?

4. What is (RtI)? • Establishes a comprehensive assessment and intervention process to support students in need of academic and behavioral supports. • Reveals the Multi-systems of support available on your campus.

5. What is the (IAT)? • Works within RtI to coordinate a series of tasks • Universal screenings • Progress monitoring • School-wide data review to trigger the intervention process • Academic and behavioral interventions • Facilitates all referrals for Section 504 or Special education • Even those in which intervention is not needed!

11. Universal Screener Characteristics • Administered three times per year • Yields disaggregated data • Identifies the problem • Ranks students • Ranks classrooms

12. Possible Data Instruments • Istation • Overage reports • Excessive absences • Office referrals • Benchmark/Common assessments • Curriculum embedded assessment • ?

13. No data point stands alone.

18. Dual Discrepancy • Level of learning • Rate of learning • Is the student deriving similar education benefit from the same classroom as nondisabled peers?

26. Requires accumulation of data

32. What is Response to Intervention (RtI)?Three-Tiered Model •  Tier I • Core instruction: ongoing for all students • Foundation • Universal interventions • Differentiated instruction and early intervention • Periodic assessment to monitor growth • 80%+ students successful

34. What is Response to Intervention (RtI)?Three-Tiered Model • Tier II • Supplemental instruction/intervention • In addition to Tier I, core instruction • Complement Tier I instruction • Small groups: 3-5 students, homogeneous • Classroom teacher or interventionist • Progress monitoring • 8-12 weeks, up to 16 weeks • 10-15% students

44. What is Response to Intervention (RtI)?Three-Tiered Model • Tier III • Intensive, individualized, specialized interventions • In addition to Tier I, core instruction • Small groups, one-on-one instruction: 1-3 students • Often interventionist • Progress monitoring • 8-12 weeks, up to 16 weeks • 5-10% students • Those who fail to respond to Tier III interventions are the best candidates for a Special Education evaluation.
