Response to Instruction
Please describe your RTI plan, including:
 Procedures for identification of at-risk students – We use the EPAS assessments to identify students
below benchmarks in English, math, reading, and science.
 Procedures for implementation of Tier 1 Instructional Interventions including intervention providers,
scheduling of interventions, and progress monitoring – In addition to our RTI program described below,
core content departments are developing Tier 1 interventions to implement in the all of their core
Page 4 of 13
Kenton County School District
content classes. The science department is conducting Tier 1 intervention every Friday. The math
department is adopting a similar approach.
 Procedures for implementation of Tier 2 and Tier 3 instructional interventions including intervention
providers, scheduling of interventions, and progress monitoring- See Appendix A for schedule and
progress monitoring. Current data is shown in Figures 1–3.
Our RTI team is responsible for data collection and interpretation, developing intervention strategies,
monitoring data, and data reporting. We developed a year-long plan of implementation to determine how
to most efficiently provide students with appropriate interventions. We empowered the RTI team to design
Tier 1 interventions and to delegate to classroom teachers the implementation of those interventions.
Concurrently, the RTI Team provides Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions to identified students on their
“caseloads” through individual, small group and large group pull out instruction in the areas of English,
Math, Reading and Science.
The goals of this approach to RTI are:
 To organize the delivery of instruction for RTI; commensurate with EPAS testing
 To allow for rapid response to students identified for RTI
 To standardize the process of data monitoring and collection
 To enable the classroom teacher maximum time to deliver quality instruction in content while allowing
for specific, targeted Tier 1 interventions when necessary
We will evaluate our approach by:
 95% of students identified as needing RTI receiving Tier 1, 2, or 3 interventions
 Comparing benchmarks of targeted students before and after interventions

Goal 2:
All ‘Professional Practices’ will be based on a common understanding of quality instruction and best practice
for every student, in every classroom, every day.

Learning Walks
Focus of learning walks:
2.2 The teacher consistently communicates the expectation that all students will achieve the goals and standards of the lesson and uses a variety of
strategies to create effort and ability from most students. Teacher consistently establishes and maintains high expectations for all students.
2.3 Teacher consistently develops and builds strong relationships with students.
3.7 Teacher activities and assignments are consistently rigorous for all students and aligned to instructional goals. Teacher consistently adjusts the
instructional plan to meet the needs of students.
4.3 The teacher consistently analyzes formative/summative student assessment data and uses it to guide instruction .

connection to school beyond the regular classroom.

Positive Behavior Instructional Support
Summarize your school focus and target areas for positive behavior instructional support. Include an
analysis of data which supports this focus.
Scott High School is currently involved with the KYCID program. We have one principal, one coach and five teachers that are
attending the training to introduce strategies to the rest of the staff. Teachers and staff have been trained on positive behavior
supports that are to be used in the classroom as well as the hallways when working with students. Our focus this school year is
the reduction of cell phone referrals, tardies to class, and following the school wide “10-10” rule. After 404 cell phone violations,
numerous tardies, and excessive hall traffic right after and right before the bell rings. We felt these areas were definite areas of
concern.
