Types Of Assessments
1. Screening Assessments – assessments used to determine if additional investigation is warranted
Answers the question: is there a possible problem?Examples: FCAT, FAIR etc.
i i i d h 2. Diagnostic Assessments: more in-depth analysis of a student’s strengths and weaknesses
3. Progress Monitoring Assessments: Sensitive to small increments of growth
Examples include Running Records, PASI, PSI, ORF, FAIR OPM

A School Level Perspective
ModelModel
Contributed byKrista Bixler,Assistant PrincipalWest Creek Elementary School
A School Level Perspective
Teachers administer common grade level assessments in math, reading, and writing.Most utilize FAIR and Houghton Mifflin as their reading assessment and an end of the year math
t f ti l tiassessment as a formative evaluation.A common writing prompt is given to all students and scored using a rubric based on what skills/standards students need to meet at different points in the year.
A School Level Perspective
All of this information is compiled into a spread sheet by teacher. Every other month, they (administration and teacher) meet to discuss where each student is. The spreadsheet also tells them what AYP subgroup someone is in.As they discuss each child individually we determine what type of intervention they may need based on the results. They utilize READ 180, Reading Resource, Early Interventions in Reading, Read Well, and After School Tutoring. They will also pull FCRR activities.
A School Level Perspective
The school has 2 reading specialists that serve students throughout the day as well as 2 paraprofessionals.On going Progress monitoring is completed th h t th i t tithroughout the intervention.Every other month they meet again to see how the student is progressing and if adjustments need to be made.
A School Level Perspective
For students who this does not work for, we meet again with the school psychologist, SLD teacher, and Speech/Language therapists.This team develops an even more intense focused intervention in which some utilize special education te ve t o w c so e ut e spec a educat o services.Based on their progress monitoring and data collection the team can determine an appropriate intervention or if special education needs consideration.

Model
We ID students based on fitting 2 or more of the criteria below:
- lowest 25% academic- count AYP 3-4 times- GPA lower than 2.0- teacher, guidance, discipline recommendation
We have a total of about 225 in the RtI group. The way we handle it is by sending the teachers a tabbed binder (8 tabs). There is one tab for each period, plus the 8th tab is a list of interventions for common issues. Depending on which period the teacher has students identified; they find a table of contents up front with individual information behind the contents up front with individual information behind the appropriate tab. The information provided is:
- FCAT scores- FAIR scored- attendance info- specific area of need (subjects)- class schedule- current report card
We also provide blank log sheets for the teachers to document specific issues (academic, behavior), specific response, and if the response was effective or not. All this info is then transferred every 9 weeks in to the students' individual yellow district RtI folderto the students individual yellow district RtI folder.

Students in need of potential intervention are identified by instructor, guidance counselor, or parent recommendation.
Conference with student (target subjects / difficulties identified.)Mentoring / tutoring suggested (if not already in place); referral to behavioral specialist (if needed). Potential schedule modification Potential schedule modification In class accommodations: preferential seating, extended time, resubmission to mastery. If prior interventions are ineffective, 504 discussed (if applicable), conference with teachers / representative of county level ESSS (discussion of possible placement into ESE).
