RESPONSE TO INTERVENTIONRESPONSE TO
INTERVENTION
Response to Instruction-Intervention (RtI)
What is it?• WHAT
– The practice of providing high quality instruction (rigorous and relevant) and intervention matched to student need,
• HOW– And using data over time (learning
rate, level of performance and fidelity of implementation),
• WHY– To make important educational
decisions.
CORE CONCEPTS/PRINCIPLES1. ALL students are part of ONE
proactive and responsive educational system.
2. Scientifically validated programs and evidence-based practices.
3. Data based decision making using a comprehensive data system.
4. Collaborative problem-solving framework to make decisions based on data.
5. Quality professional development supports effective instruction for all staff/students.
6. Leadership is vital.
PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE CONFRONTED
1. Do we really believe that all students can learn? Will learn?
2. Do we really believe that decisions are best made with data?
3. Do we believe that our first focus should be on increasing the reach of core instruction? (Tier I)
4. Do we believe our instruction should meet the needs of diverse students?
5. Do we believe that the actions we take as educative can impact student learning?
MUST HAVES:
• Multi-tiered levels of support• Comprehensive data system• Problem-solving framework
TIERS ARE ACTIONS NOT LABELS
Tier I is whatever it takes to get 80 percent of the students to mastery.
There should be no surprises with students except Kindergarten. We should know our kids through pre-assessment and formative assessment as well as attendance, discipline, etc.
Guiding Questions of Tier I
1. What exactly do we expect all students to learn?
2. How will we know if and when they’ve learned it?
3. How are we going to teach it?
4. How will we respond when some students don’t learn it?
5. How will we respond when some students have already learned it?
Pyramid of Interventions
• With your team, identity your Tier I Interventions.
Tier II Supplemental Supports
Tier II For approximately 20% of students
Core+
Supplemental…to achieve benchmarks
1. Where are the students performing now?
2. Where do we want them to be?3. How long do we have to get them
there?4. How much do they have to grow per
year/monthly to get there?5. What resources will move them at
that rate?
• Add Tier II Interventions to your Pyramid.
Tier IIIIntensive Supports
Tier III For approximately 5% of students
Core+
Supplemental+
Intensive Individual Instruction…to achieve benchmarks
1. Where is the student’s performance now?
2. Where do we want him to be?3. How long do we have to get him
there?4. What supports has he received?5. What resources will move him at that
rate?
• Add Tier III Interventions to your Pyramid.
SUPPLEMENTAL INTERVENTION
WON’T DO• Mentoring programs• Goal setting & career planning
support• Frequent progress reports• Targeted rewards• Mandatory study hall• Mandatory homework help• Study skills classes
CAUTION: Failed Learners often become disengaged over time and may require both categories of intervention support.
CAN’T DO• Targeted, differentiated
instruction• Additional instructional time• Pre-teach essential skills,
content, and vocabulary• Review/Reteach prerequisite
skills to address the learning gap
• Prevention (requires vertical articulation with middle/elementary school and early identification of at-risk students)
FAIR IS NOT EVERYBODY GETTING
THE SAME THING……FAIR IS EVERYBODY GETTING WHAT THEY
NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL!
