Big Ideas of RtI► More than just about
elgibility► Being proactive► Early intervention for those
who need it► High quality instruction using
best practices in Tier 1► Data-based decision making► Identifying the level of
services needed by which students
► Problem Solving Method
What are the components of RTI?
Speaking the LINGO!1. Tiers of Intervention: Students who do not respond to high-quality
classroom instruction (Tier 1) and intervention (Tier 2) receive more intensive, individualized research-based interventions (Tier 3). Tiers are the level of intensity of the intervention.
2. Progress Monitoring: Data-based documentation of repeated assessments reflecting student progress.
3. Data Based Decision Making: Students who don’t respond to these interventions or require a highly individualized program to progress are evaluated in a more comprehensive manner.

Beginning Implementation
◦ Core instruction – differentiated, high quality
◦ Establish teams – Teacher Data Teams that can make collaborative decisions Meeting times Facilitator Problem Solving method
◦ Identify at risk students (FIND ‘EM) FAIR, observation, FCAT, formative assessments
◦ Skill deficits, interventions, progress monitoring

The Work of the Teacher Data Team
►Discussing ACADEMIC & BEHAVIOR NEEDS of students.
►Problem Solving & Developing intervention plans
►Looking at Data-Are students being successful?
►Solving the problems that we identify at Tiers 1, 2, and 3?
Getting Started with Data Meetings When: Planning Time – Two times a month Who Attends (can be determined by purpose):
◦ Must: Grade Level TeachersGuidance CounselorAdministration
◦ Could: ESE Teacher, Speech Teacher, Reading Coach,
◦ Other experts as needed (e.g. school psych, behavior analyst)
19
TEACHER DATA TEAMSPlanning Time – Every Other Tuesday
August 17 •Analyze historical and diagnostic data to determine areas of focus to be strengthened in core instruction
•Begin forming intervention & enrichment groups.
August 31 •Finish forming intervention & enrichment groups.
•Plan resources to be used for core and supplemental instruction
**See meeting handout.
Data Meetings Tier One Focus
Assess strengths of Tier One core instruction by reviewing benchmark data.
How can we improve differentiated instruction in the 90 min reading block.
Tier Two Focus (Find ‘em, watch ‘em): Grouping kids in need of similar
interventions/enrichment based on data. Determine focus of interventions, set goals,
determine how to progress monitor. Decide specifics of intervention: who, where, how long, etc.
Decide on how interventions will be documented. INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS who are not responding.

‘Circle of Accountability’
• Identify students who need additional support
• Use research-based interventions to assist
students • Monitor these students
progress on ongoing basis
InterventionsLet’s Discuss
◦ Tier One: Differentiation
◦ Tier Two: Double Dose of Differentiation
◦ Tier Three: ◦ More time
More intensity More Concrete ReAddress Problem
Intervention...Another Look
◦ Who: grade level teachers, instructional asst., ESE (5th and 6th), speech, all hands on deck.
◦ When: 8:15 – 8:45 am (grades 1-6)
◦ How: Group students by skill deficit, enrichment
area, reading or math. Smallest group should be neediest kids Work as a grade level to determine resources,
instruction, who’s teaching what.

Riviera Elementary – Grade 2 Intervention Groups
◦ Cycle: a three week period of continuous supplemental instruction
◦ Progress Monitoring Week: occurs after a 3 week cycle. Progress monitoring data is gathered. At risk students are re-assessed. Teachers meet to reorganize groups and instructors.
◦ Cycle 1: September 7 – 24◦ Progress Monitoring Week: Sept. 27 – Oct. 1◦ Cycle 2: October 4 – 22◦ Progress Monitoring Week: Oct. 25 -29
◦ Compromise, Integrity, Flexibilty, ?????

Skill Deficit◦ Student lacks skills to successfully complete task

performing the skill

The “New Way”: RtI and Individual Referral-
Driven Problem Identification Students referred when there is a poor
response to Tier 2 services After at least two different interventions
documented Looking for academic gap Slower learning rate over time Team decides… additional academic or
behavioral intervention, placement, etc.
