WORKING TOGETHER TO HELP CHILDREN SUCCEED

RtI is the Practice ofhellip

providing high-quality instructionintervention matched to individual student needs

systematically assessing children to ensure academic progress is made

an intervention-based program used to help make important educational decisions

Core Principles of RtI

1048698 All children can learn and we will effectively teach them all utilizing scientifically research based instruction

1048698 We will intervene early ndash be proactive rather than reactive

1048698 We will use a multi-tier model ndash Intervention must be differentiated in nature and intensity

1048698 We will use a problem-solving model based on data to make decisions within a multi-tier model

1048698 Is there a problem and what is it (Identification)1048698 Why is it happening (Analysis)1048698 What are we going to do about it (Plan)1048698 Did our intervention work (Review and Revise)

NASDE 2005

Why is assessment such an important piece of RtI

We must use assessment for three purposes

(1)Universal screening of children to identify those who are not making progress at expected rates

(2) Diagnostics to determine what children can and cannot do

(3) Progress monitoring to determine if interventions are producing desired effects

What Universal Screenings are we using at Holland

Second Grade Students in the area of ReadingOur initial assessment has been broken down into three separate parts DIBELS Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) and Teacher Input The overall ldquoRisk levelrdquo is taken from these three areas the child is then placed into a Tier

First and Second Grade Students in the area of Mathematics Our initial screening is based from our Curriculum Based Assessment

1048698 Tier I ndash Universal or Core Language Arts instruction for all students with flexible small group instructionndash Meets the needs of 80 of learners

1048698 Tier II ndash Supplemental Targeted Intervention for Students (in addition to LA instruction in the classroom) ndash needed by 15 of the students

1048698 Tier III ndash Intensive Supplemental Interventions provided ndash needed by 5 of the students

Three Tier Model

What to expect when a child moves through

a tiered interventionhellip

(1) Interventions take place in addition to the general Language Arts and Mathematics curriculums Students will not miss any of their core Language Arts or Mathematics due to interventions

(2) Progress monitoring will occur more frequently to ensure student progress is being made (Tier II Bi-weekly Tier III Weekly)

(3) Intervention periods are held for a duration of approximately ten weeks

(4) Once students meet with success in Tiers 2 and 3 they progressively return to Tier 1 instruction

What RtI Looks Like at Holland ElementaryLanguage Arts

A student moves to Tier II if heshe is -is at ldquoAt Riskrdquo in one or more assessment areas (all students who came up ldquoAt Riskrdquo came up at ldquoSome Risk in the other one or two assessment criteria )

Power Hour-All students receiving Tier II interventions will receive ldquoPower Hourrdquo five times a week -Power Hour will be conducted daily from 245-335 for 10 weeks- After 10 weeks a student either moves back into Tier I or moves on to Tier III for more intensive interventions Tier II Langauge Arts Programs

- Wilson- Read Naturally-Earobics I-FountasPinnell

Tier III Langauge ArtsPrograms-Fundations (pre-Wilson)-Earobics II-Read Naturally

Peer Assisted Learning Strategies (PALS)- Sage volunteers will facilitate the program under the direction of the Math Specialist

- Students work in pairs so that partners work simultaneously and productively on different activities that address the problems they are experiencing

- Pairs are changed regularly and over a period of time as students work on a variety of skills all students have the opportunity to be coaches and players
