TIER III
Problem Solving• Tier I – Identify discrepancy between
expectation and performance for class or individual (Is it a classwide problem?)
• Tier II – Identify discrepancy for individual. Identify category of problem. (What is the category of the problem?)
• Tier III – Identify discrepancy for individual. Identify causal variable. (What is the causal variable?)
Grade Level Team Meeting• Is there a classwide problem?
• Who needs Tier 2?
• Did we miss anyone?
• What should we do for Tier 2?
• Should we go to Tier 3?

Procedure
Partner Reading Paragraph Shrinking
1. Stronger reader reads aloud for 5 minutes
2. The weaker reader reads aloud the SAME text for 5 minutes
3. Weaker readers sequence the major events of what has been read for 1 minute
1. For 5 minutes the stronger read continues reading new text in the story, stopping after each paragraph to summarize
2. For 5 minutes the weaker reader continues with the new text, stopping after each paragraph to summarize

Classwide Intervention
http://kc.vanderbilt.edu/pals/
Individual Screening without a Test• Middle School
– More than 20% absent– Poor behavior/conduct grade– Failing math– Failing English (Balfanz & Herzog, 2006).
• High School– More than 20% absent– Course failures– Credits earned– Grade point average (Allensworth, 2005).
Tier 2 – What Should we Do?
Leveled Literacy Intervention• Effect Sizes
• Kindergarten = .26
• First Grade = .36
• Second Grade = -.09Ransford-Kaldon, C. R., Flynt, E. S., Ross, C. L., Franceschini, L. A., Zoblotsky, T. A., Huang, Y., & Gallagher, B. (2010). Implementation of effective intervention: An empirical study to evaluate the efficacy of Fountas & Pinnell’s Leveled Literacy Intervention Program (LLI) for 2009-2010. Memphis, TN: The University of Memphis, Center for Research in Educational Policy.
Comprehensive Interventions
• Lexia Reading .05
• READ 180 .13
• Read Naturally .15
Assess 4 NRP Areas
• Phonemic Awareness– Phoneme segmentation fluency
• Phonics– Nonsense word fluency (WJ Pseudoword)
• Fluency– Oral reading fluency (TOSCRF)
• Vocabulary/Comprehension

• 69.2% pass reading
• 9th-10th grade
• 28% low on MAP (~225)
• 45% Low on TOSCRF (~100)– 64% low on phonics (~65)– 36% acceptable phonics (~36)

Comprehension is affected by1 & 2) Background knowledge and
vocabulary
3) Correct inferences about reading
4) Word reading skill
5) Strategy use

Credit Recovery or Skill Building
• MS = skill building
• 9th & 10th – Focus on skill building
• 11th & 12th – Focus on credit recovery
• Have both in both

Turning Around Low Performing Schools
• IES Practice Guide• Signal the need for change• Maintain a consistent focus on instruction• Make visible improvements early• Build a committed staff
– “may require changes in staff, such as releasing, replacing, or redeploying staff who are not fully committed to turning around student performance” (they seriously said this).
Leadership• Establish a leadership team (ILT)
– Watch out for one person (refocus)– Lead teacher, but NOT instructional leader– Develop leadership skills and expertise– Put the loudest complainer on the team
• Open communication with staff and parents– Instructional support activities– Community coffees– Letters to parents– Parents are your allies
Maintain a Consistent Focus on Instruction
• Set goals with data– Outcome and climate– School, classroom, and student levels– Realistic, but high
• Provide collaborative time for planning!
• Support data consumption
Quick Wins
• Celebrate at every meeting
• Changes in schedules– Common teaching– Common prep– Common intervention
• Classwide needs
• Tier 2 growth
Build a Committed Staff• Don’t fire them
• Talk about the vision of the school/plan– How does each teacher fit
• Talk about reasons why students do not succeed.
• Carefully examine ALL support personnel (are they contributing?)
