  1. RTI Levels • Schools must organize their interventions into levels of increasing intensity. • Three Tiers – Tier I, II, III • Higher the need of the student = increased amount on support and monitoring TIER III PROGRESS MONITORMonitor progress frequently towards individualized goals for at-risk students or ‘best practice’ IEP goals for students receiving special services TIER II STRATEGIC MONITORAssess at-risk students or other students of concern monthly and monitor the effectiveness of instructional changes TIER I BENCHMARKAssess all students three times per year for universal screening (early identification), general education progress monitoring, and AYP accountability

  2. Tier I • Tier I = Students not considered to be at risk • Instruction - Classroom teachers plan/implement 90 minutes of core reading instruction in which students are actively participating in reading activities. Reading activities are clearly defined and ensure that student are (focus will be on reading at the primary levels for this presentation): • Receiving direct instruction and guided practice in the National Reading Panels five key areas - phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency. • Provided with materials at their instructional level. • Instruction is differentiated and the reading program is balanced. • Provided necessary supports to keep students actively and successfully engaged. • Assessment - AIMSweb Benchmarks: September , January, May *Teachers also use a variety of more informal assessments to guide instruction at all tiers.

  3. Tier II • Tier II = Students with some risk • Instruction -Same as Tier I. • Assessment - AIMSweb Benchmarks (3/year – same as Tier I) Progress monitoring- Some higher risk students in Tier II may have strategicmonitoring (e.g., bi-weeklyor once per month assessment using AIMSweb progress monitoring). Some ‘diagnostic’ (see tier 3) assessment may be conducted. • Intervention -In addition to 90 minutes of core reading instruction, students considered at risk will receive 30 – 40 minutes of additional direct instruction using evidence-based interventions. These interventions may occur as a part of compensatory reading and/or other AIS programs as long as the components are evidence-based.

  4. Tier III • Tier III = Students considered be at High risk for significant, chronic difficulties • Instruction/Interventions -Interventions, accommodations and modifications for Tier III students are more intense than Tier II students. • At Tier III, students may have an IEP or building plan. • Some Tier III students may have needs that require special education teacher support. • Instructional decisions (e.g., modifying/changing instruction when student fails to progress) are based on continuous progress monitoring. • When students fail to progress, after multiple documented and monitored attempts to address difficulties, a comprehensive multidisciplinary team evaluation (for initial referrals) or change of program should be considered • Assessment - AIMSweb Benchmarks: September , January, May Progress monitoring - High risk students are assessed on a weekly basis using progress monitoring ‘probes’. Diagnostic assessment - Assessments that help to identify student difficulties related to the problem (e.g., language, phonological awareness, specific skill deficits, attention, behavioral/emotional difficulties).
