  1. RSA Update for 2015-2016

  2. What is RSA • The Reading Sufficiency Act (RSA) was enacted in 1997 as a state initiative to ensure that all students are reading on grade level by 3rd grade. • The RSA mandates that we Screen, Intervene and Progress Monitor every student in grades K-3, with the exception of those on track for OAAP testing.

  3. RSA Requirements RSA = RTI Screen, Intervene, Progress Monitor Screen • All students will be screened for reading difficulty with the DIBELS Assessment. • All students who do not meet grade level benchmarks will receive intervention and be placed on an RSA Academic Performance Plan (APP).

  4. RSA Requirements (Cont’d) Intervention • Happens at least 4 days per week • Is targeted and intensive • Focus on one skill until that skill is mastered • Change your activity, not your skill • Document your Intervention • Ask for help!

  5. RSA Requirements (Cont’d) Progress Monitor • After 4 interventions assess the progress • Use DIBELS, STAR or a teacher made progress monitoring tool. • The progress monitoring must match the intervention. • Ask for help if you need it!

  6. RSA Requirements (Cont’d) Reading Block • 90 minutes required plus 30 minutes if you have any students on an RSA APP. • This time is everything reading/LA/writing/phonics/small group literacy centers etc… • http://ok.gov/sde/teacher-reading-sufficiency

  7. RSA Legislative Updates 2015-2016 2016-2017 Two OCCT Reading Scores: Composite (Vocab, Comp, Comp/Vocab The Comp/vocab score will be used to determine promotion.

Option of Probationary Promotion is still allowable through 2017-2018. • Two OCCT Reading Scores: • Composite • Comp/Vocab Only (Reading Score) • The Comp/vocab score will be used to determine promotion. (72% of OCCT) • Unsatisfactory reading scores determines retention/promotion • Good Cause Exemptions are still in use. • Students are only exempt if they meet End-of-Year composite score on DIBELS (330) • Option of Probationary Promotion is still allowable.

  10. Screening Instrument Promotion If a 3rd grade student demonstrates proficiency on one of the approved screening instruments the student will satisfy the requirements of the Reading Sufficiency Act and will not be subject to retention. To become exempt, students must have a composite score of 330 on one of the three yearly benchmarks, (Fall, Winter or Spring).

  11. Probationary Promotion Process

  12. How can you help? • Inform your parents. • Exemptions don’t catch that many students, but you still need to be familiar with them. • Work with your Special Ed teacher to make sure that no one is left out.

  13. How are we doing? • In the 13-14 school year we had 171, or about 10%, of 3rd grade students score unsatisfactory on the Reading OCCT. • In the 14-15 school year we decreased to 128, or 7%, of 3rd grade students scoring unsatisfactory on the Reading OCCT. • For the 15-16 school year are retaining 32 of the 128 students who scored Unsatisfactory. • 94 promoted via an exemption, benchmark score or probationary promotion.
