SEELs analysis of the 2% kids 50% LD All had markedly low achievement &
low slope
RTI is not just about children with learning disabilities

What is Responsiveness to Intervention (RTI)?
1. Implementation of a differentiated curriculum with different instructional methods
2. Two or more tiers of increasingly intense scientific, research-based interventions
3. Instructional intensity addressed through duration, frequency and time of interventions, group size, and instructor skill level
4. Individual problem-solving model or standardized intervention protocol for intervention tiers
![Page 5: OSEP UPDATE 2006 Lou Danielson Director Research to Practice Division U.S. Office of Special Education Programs August 2, 2006.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083008/56649f515503460f94c74095/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is Responsiveness to Intervention (RTI)? (continued)
5. Screening and progress monitoring to assess entire class progress and individual student progress
6. Explicit decision rules for assessing learners’ progress (e.g., level and/or rate)
7. Fidelity measures to assess consistency of instructional methods and curriculum

EIS Provides an Assessment /Intervention Framework within General Education
Early intervening services (EIS) is a process for ensuring students receive “appropriate learning experiences” in general education
The student’s response to EIS is very informative if a disability is considered as an explanation of the child’s difficulties
RTI can be used as a component of SLD determination to assure the child’s difficulties are adequately addressed

Implementing an RTI Approach: 5 Dimensions
1. Number of tiers (2-5; this example uses 3)
2. Nature of preventive intervention Individualized (e.g., problem solving) Standardized scientific research-based protocol
3. How at-risk students are identified Percentile cut on norm-referenced test (screening) Cut-point on curriculum-based measurement (CBM)
with 5 weeks of CBM progress monitoring
![Page 8: OSEP UPDATE 2006 Lou Danielson Director Research to Practice Division U.S. Office of Special Education Programs August 2, 2006.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083008/56649f515503460f94c74095/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Implementing an RTI Approach: 5 Dimensions (continued)
4. How ‘response’ is defined Final status on norm-referenced test or using a
benchmark Improvement from pretest to posttest CBM slope and final status
5. What happens to nonresponders Comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation to
distinguish: specific learning disability (SLD) behavioral disability (BD) mental retardation (MR) speech-language impairment (SLI)

Implications of EIS and RTI for all of the
Part D Program Areas

Lessons Learned from TA&D Investments
Most schools in the U.S. are not implementing the best that we know
When strategic technical assistance support is provided, schools are successful in adopting the evidence based practices
Once schools adopt practices to criterion and see positive impact they are likely to sustain those practices over time
Investing in local demonstration and building local level infrastructures of support are critical components of the research to practice continuum

Conference
Important role of special education – Taking the time to make special education special again
Describing what high quality good innovations practices and programs look like and learning from good practice
Continuing to strive for making sure what we know to be best for kids is what is happening in schools every day
![Page 13: OSEP UPDATE 2006 Lou Danielson Director Research to Practice Division U.S. Office of Special Education Programs August 2, 2006.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083008/56649f515503460f94c74095/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Reauthorization
Regulations will be released tomorrow Expectations are high for the important
role each of us in this room will play Rollout Plan Web casts, Regional Meetings, TA
Materials
![Page 14: OSEP UPDATE 2006 Lou Danielson Director Research to Practice Division U.S. Office of Special Education Programs August 2, 2006.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083008/56649f515503460f94c74095/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Reauthorization
Stakes are high – each of you will play an important role – some of you will play critical roles
Critical issues with high accountability will be top priorities at the local level and will likely drive the national focus for the next decade
