Morgan County Response to Intervention
Morgan County Schools are committed to providing our students with a
variety of opportunities to reach their fullest potential. Response to
Intervention is a system that integrates assessments and intervention within a
three-tiered system (see below) to maximize student achievement and to
reduce behavior problems. With RtI, schools identify students at risk of not
achieving grade level goals, monitor student progress, provide evidencedbased interventions and adjust those interventions based on a student’s
responsiveness. RtI can also help identify students with learning disabilities
or who need advanced learning opportunities.
RtI is NOT “special education” it is a regular education initiative that supports
students and provides targeted instruction based on regular progress
monitoring and data analysis.
Kentucky System of Interventions (KSI)
Instruction through the tiers is a flexible and fluid process based
on student assessment data and collaborative team decisions.
The goal of the process is to provide continuous progress so that
students are successful.
RtI process for “At-Risk” Students
1. Administer Universal Screener (US)
2. Data Analysis
 Begin with US data, look at summary, break down by class,
individuals, standards, clusters, skill sets
 Look at classroom performance, formative and summative
assessments, anecdotal records, etc.
 Contact Prior Teacher(s)
3. Develop a “concerns” list identifying students and specific areas of need and
create an RtI Folder for each student on the list. Include the documentation of
passed hearing and vision screener.
4. Provide and document (on referral form) specific strategies used in small
and whole group to address needs for 2-3 weeks.
5. Give appropriate RtI screener on targeted skill.
6. Data Analysis
If no adequate progress…
7.Contact Parent
8. Place in Tier 2 intervention for 2-4 weeks. Progress Monitor and document
at least 2 times.
9. Data Analysis.
Inform parent of assessment results. If no adequate progress…
10. Place in Tier 3 for 2-3 weeks, progress monitor and document weekly.
11. Data Analysis
Inform parent of assessment results. If no adequate progress…
12. Refer to Special Education

RtI Process for Advanced Learners
This is a work in progress and very much a rough draft
1. Administer Universal Screener (US)
2. Data Analysis
 Begin with US data, look at summary, break down by class,
individuals, standards, clusters, skill sets
 Look at classroom performance, formative and summative
assessments, anecdotal records, etc.
 Contact Prior Teacher(s)
3. Develop a “”watch” list identifying students that scored distinguished on the
US or where data supports an advanced learner. Create an RtI Folder for each
student on the list.
4. Contact parent and provide assessment data.
4. Provide and document learning experiences that challenge and extend
student learning, including but not limited to:
 Multiple textbooks, supplementary reading, project based learning,
mentors, interest surveys, learning contracts.
