Ensure all teachers complete the Request for RtI Services form for all students identified and submit to RtI Team Leader.L1

Form

Second Section of NotebookThe RtI Team Leader Activity Checklist is to be used by the RtI Team Leader to complete and maintain a record for each student who is referred for RtI services.

L2Form Parent Invitation/Notification for RtI Meeting form is used to invite

parents or guardians to an RtI meeting to discuss ways to better meet the needs of their child.

L4Form RtI Professional Development Needs Assessment Survey form is

completed by all staff members and compiled to formulate a campus-wide RtI professional development plan.

QC2Form Classroom Observation form is used to assess the consistency of the

delivery of high-quality, classroom instruction and how the student is responding to the instruction.

QC5Form RtI Effectiveness Survey is used to provide an overview of

expectations for the RtI approach. It is also used to guide the team as they work to implement the RtI process.

QC9Form Tier -1 Initial Meeting form is used in stage 1 of the RtI process. All

steps on this form correspond to the steps on the Tier -1 Quick Reference Guide.

1MForm The Intervention Plan form is developed for each identified concern

for each identified student. It assists with developing the plan, listing resources, implementation, and monitoring.

IPForm Tier -2 Follow-up Meeting form is used in stage 3 of Tier-2. This

meeting takes place to evaluate previous interventions, determine placement options, and discuss next steps in the RtI process.

RtI 3-Tier Model - Academic

Click toadvance

RtI 3-Tier Model - Behavioral

Click toadvance

Provide high-quality core instruction and behavioral supports by highly-qualified teachers.

Conduct universal screenings. Analyze student data and make recommendations. Initiate the Tier-1 Initial Meeting for students who fail universal screenings. Provide whole or small group differentiated instruction. Implement scientifically research-based interventions and monitor progress regularly

using Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM). Document interventions and monitor progress in the Intervention Plan. Conduct a Tier-1 Follow-up Meeting and make placement decisions.

Tier -1

If the interventions are successful, return student to core instruction and continue to

monitor progress.

If the interventions are not successful, refer student to Tier-2.

3-Tier Intervention Flow Chart

Click toadvance

Complete the Tier-2 Referral. Hold a Tier-2 Initial Meeting. Develop an Intervention Plan. Provide small group targeted skill instruction that supplements and reinforces

high-quality core instruction and behavioral expectations. Provide small group interventions in 8-12 week cycles. Use CBM to determine intervention effectiveness and student’s responsiveness to

interventions. Document interventions and monitor progress in the Intervention Plan. Conduct a Tier-2 Follow-up Meeting and make placement decisions.

Tier -2

If the interventions are successful, move student to Tier-1 or core instruction and

continue to monitor progress.

If the interventions are not successful, refer student to Tier-3.

3-Tier Intervention Flow Chart

Click toadvance

Develop an Intervention Plan.Provide intense, individualized interventions in addition to core instruction

delivered by highly-trained staff. The interventions target skill deficits.Use CBM to closely monitor the effectiveness of interventions and the student’s

responsiveness to the interventions.Document interventions and monitor progress in the Intervention Plan.Conduct a Tier-3 Follow-up Meeting and make placement decisions.

Tier -3

If the interventions are successful, move student to Tier-2, Tier-1, or core instruction

and continue to monitor progress.

If the interventions are not successful, the RtI team determines whether or not

to continue Tier-3 interventions or to refer a student to Section 504, special

education, or other district options.
