Is This Child Learning?
• RTI is a framework designed for all students and addresses
learning issues earlier before a child is behind.
• RTI integrates assessment and intervention within a multi-level
prevention system to maximize student achievement and to
reduce behavior problems.
• Implementing the RTI process in a school or district takes time,
planning, commitment, and resources.
Improved Learning for All Students
• RTI is an integrated general education approach that includes:
ELL, gifted and talented, and Title I programs.
• RTI asks the question “ How can we support the learning of all
students, no matter what barriers may exist for them?”
• RTI is transformative when implemented effectively.
What’s New for 2011-2012
• Title 1 - 14.5 billion distributed to the 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico,
BIE, and the outlying territories.
• 275 billion has been appropriated since 1965.
Program Impact
• Waivers for 2011-2012 still in USDOE discussion.
• The primary factor in the formula is the number of census poor
children ages 5-17.
• Additional opportunities for early childhood education (birth-4
years old).
Program Impact
• Reauthorization will be done during the next several months in
parts vs. the whole bill.
• Funding Flexibility
- Ability to move allocated dollars into other programs.
Continue to Remove Barriers
• Differentiate the support students need.
• Provide professional learning opportunities through school
teams.
• Provide high quality instruction and frequent assessment of
student progress .
Resources
• Federal Programs
• Race to the Top
• District / School Improvement Plans
