Chetek
• Extensive data
• High Accountability
• Declining Enrollment
• More than 40% Free and Reduced Rate
• Previously High Special Education Prevalence Rate– Poor academic performance– Limited growth
![Page 4: RtI Implementation in a Small School District in Northern Wisconsin Linda Zeman School District of Chetek.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7b327/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Paradigm Shift
• High quality instruction and on-going screenings
• Targeted instructional interventions based on data documented student needs
• Strong focus on data
![Page 5: RtI Implementation in a Small School District in Northern Wisconsin Linda Zeman School District of Chetek.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7b327/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Basic Assumptions
• All students can learn• If they are not making progress, then we have not
found the right method yet• Decisions are best made with data• The most affective way to improve an area of
weakness is to increase the intensity, time and focus in this area.
• Use limited resources where we can have the most impact
• If data does not support strong universal instruction, tier 2 and 3 are not appropriate
• ALL students would benefit from this model
![Page 6: RtI Implementation in a Small School District in Northern Wisconsin Linda Zeman School District of Chetek.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7b327/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
In God we trust. Everyone else bring your data.

A Different Mode of Transportation
• Response to Intervention/Response to Instruction
• If done right, it should impact all educational services.
![Page 8: RtI Implementation in a Small School District in Northern Wisconsin Linda Zeman School District of Chetek.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7b327/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Strong Universal Instruction
• High Quality Instruction
• Equal Opportunity to Learn
• Co-Teaching
• Unit Design/Curriculum Work
• Staff Development

Major Paradigm Shift
The most important “intervention” may be presuming that the student is competent to learn age-appropriate general education content in the general education classroom.

alternative school, etc. . .)
• Universal screening data:– MAPs (grade 9 only)– Grades– On demand writing prompts (district created)
![Page 27: RtI Implementation in a Small School District in Northern Wisconsin Linda Zeman School District of Chetek.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7b327/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Results-High School
• 170 F’s scored at the end of the second trimester 2006-2007
• Reduced to 90 F’s scored at the end of the second trimester 2007-2008
• We expect that number to be even lower at the end of second trimester 2008-09
![Page 29: RtI Implementation in a Small School District in Northern Wisconsin Linda Zeman School District of Chetek.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7b327/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Special Education
![Page 30: RtI Implementation in a Small School District in Northern Wisconsin Linda Zeman School District of Chetek.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7b327/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Beginning-Special Education
• The Data– Special education students scored significantly
below their non-handicapped peers– Special education students scored significantly
below the state average for students with disabilities– We could identify when a student was placed in
special education based on performance data
• Consensus to raised Expectations• Progress monitoring data is used to develop
IEPs, report progress, and to drive instruction
![Page 31: RtI Implementation in a Small School District in Northern Wisconsin Linda Zeman School District of Chetek.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7b327/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Basic Structure-Special Education
• Universal level– Equal opportunity to learn– High expectations– Co-teaching
• Only special education specific classes are based on alternative grade band standards
• 8 students in pull out classes• 133 in all general classes
• Tier 2 – Targeted Instruction– Unscheduled Resource/Academic Tutoring
Center
![Page 32: RtI Implementation in a Small School District in Northern Wisconsin Linda Zeman School District of Chetek.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7b327/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Basic Structure-Special Education (continued)
• Tier 3 Totally Individualized– Individual planning and instruction– Could include alternative placement
considerations
• Problems– IEP teams don’t meet frequently enough to
be problem solving teams– More frequent IEP reviews to reflect needs
based on data
![Page 33: RtI Implementation in a Small School District in Northern Wisconsin Linda Zeman School District of Chetek.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7b327/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Results-Special Education
• Less special education referrals– Incident rate went down for the first time in
Chetek history (We went from 17.57% to 14.36% incident rate that is almost a 13% decline in special education identification rate in one year)
– Only grade levels provided RtI were affected
![Page 34: RtI Implementation in a Small School District in Northern Wisconsin Linda Zeman School District of Chetek.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7b327/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Results-Special Education (continued)
• Higher academic expectations with a higher success rate. – Less failed classes– More teacher requests for co-teacher than
available staff• Improved growth on MAPS from fall to spring
– last years data • Positive feedback
– Students-Parents-Teachers
