Objectives
1. RTI: Not just for Tier 3 or SPED decision-making
2. Review Going from All to Each (GATE) Map
3. Moving from Systems to Students 4. Introduction to Zones of Growth and
Data Analyses5. Zones of Growth Case Example and
Practice
RTI Reality Check

Is the Strategic instructional support effective for EACH individual student?
• No, it is effective for over 70 percent, but not all.
• For the students not making adequate progress Initiate Preventative problem-solving, including diagnosing problem*, intervention modification, and short term goal setting OR place student in Intensive support.
• How should we set short term goals? What would adequate growth look like? What kind of growth would put the odds in the favor of strategic students to reach grade level goals? What kind of growth rates would significantly place a strategic student at risk for not reaching grade level goals?
• Let’s look at Zones of Growth Analyses…
Zones of Growth Analyses Based on Seven Factors
1. Fall Instructional Recommendation divided into 2 groups: High and Low (e.g. High and Low Strategic)
2. Fall ORF score range3. Percentile range4. Yearly growth rates5. Weekly growth rates6. Growth zone category (favorable, coin flip,
unacceptable)7. Probability of meeting grade level* criterion or for
students with intensive needs, significantly reducing their risk
