School–Level PRACTICE PROFILE
Scoring Summary:
Decide on a key anchor from the rubric for which your team will focus. Use the continuum to select your level of implementation and write which
characteristics (from the rubric) cause you to choose that level. Write today’s date and using a different color ink any dates when you review the
Practice Profile.

School–Level PRACTICE PROFILE
Questions to Consider:
s
C
1. In your school at which level of the SPL process (particularly the RTI Tiers - core, target, or intensive level) are students less likely to receive
specialized instruction to meet their specific needs? Are there some teachers better at designing instruction to meet all students’ needs than
others? Are there some teams or grade levels or departments that are better at understanding how to meet students’ specific needs? If so, how
can those teachers be poised to assist in developing colleagues’ skills?
2. Use a facilitation aid, such as one described in Tool Time (Langford, 2010) to decide which key anchor should be prioritized and addressed first.
Then use the Tool Time (Langford, 2010) book to work as a team through the process of how to address the prioritized key anchor.
3. What options pertaining to this area of SPL can be discussed and negotiated with the rest of the staff so that you can reach “optimizing” and so
that the entire can sustain a level of “optimizing”? (For example: Amount of time, time of day, number of students, personnel resources, use of
materials, use of instructional technology, etc.)
4. How often will the team review this area of SPL so that gains continue to be made within your school?
