Essential Questions


What is our mission?
Why create a PRTI?
Our Mission
To assure high levels of
learning for all students!
The task of RTI is HUGE!
Your task is huge
 Daunting in the age of do more with
less.
 So – do we need more things or can we
work smarter with what we got?

The task is HUGE but doable!

Failure is not an option

List how is this similar to our mission






For all students to learn, we must

Start with a highly effective research-based core
instruction.

Systematically identify students who are not
succeeding in our core program.

Provide these students additional time and support
until they learned.
Over the past decade, two proven
processes have been developed
to achieve this goal:
1. Pyramid of Interventions
2. Response to Intervention

Why Adopt an RTI Model?
RTI: An answer to that question!

Intended to provide an educational
experience to all students that is focused
upon delivering a powerful core instructional
program and interventions and frequently
monitoring the progress of students receiving
interventions and then adjusting and
changing the interventions as appropriate
Keys to Implementing RTI
Key components

Problem solving and collective responsibility
 Quality core instruction
 Universal screening and diagnostic assessment
 Interventions
 Progress monitoring
 Intervention efficacy and fidelity
 PLCs
PLC as Foundation

Focus on Learning
 Collaborative Culture
 Focus on Results
 3 questions that guide a PLC




What do we want people to know and do?
How will we know they mastered it?
What will we do for those who don’t and/or wont?
PLC Task Sheet
To guide our intervention program,
common assessment information
must tell us
1. Which students did or did not master specific
essential standards
2. Which instructional practices did or did not work
Big Idea 3: Focus on Results
To guide your site interventions, you need
timely and frequent information
your students’ achievement
 in meeting an agreed-upon standard(s)
 on a valid assessment
 in comparison to others

Interventions for Intentional Non-Learners
• Make them do the work!
• Care more about them doing the work
than they care not to do it.
• Need a “tight,” timely process of
accountability, more than highly trained
teachers.
Interventions for Failed Learners
• Provide additional time and practice.
• Fill learning gaps (prerequisite skills).
• Provide “different” instruction.

Universal Screening

Short, quick, easy-to-administer probes
 Aligned
to curriculum
 Measure basic academic skills
Documents whether a child is on track
3 times/year (fall, winter, spring)
 Individual student data can be utilized to
validate the effectiveness of
interventions. Is the gap closing?

Universal Screening
At secondary level, screening tools
should:
 Identify students who require further
assistance.
 Be practical.
 Generate positive outcomes by
accurately identifying students without
consuming resources that could be put
to better use.
(Jenkins, 2003)
Interventions
Tier 1
 All
students are screened to find students
at-risk (universal screening).
 All students receive core program which
includes differentiated instruction.
 Responsive students remain in Tier 1.
 Unresponsive students move to Tier 2.
Interventions
Interventions become more intensive by:
 Increasing the frequency (5 times/week
rather than 3 times/week)
 Increasing the duration (50 minutes
rather than 30 minutes)
 Decreasing the pupil–teacher ratio

Progress Monitoring
Used to assess students’ academic
performance, continuously measure
student performance growth, and
provide objective data to evaluate the
effectiveness of instruction AND
interventions
Progress Monitoring
Teachers assess students’ academic
performance on a regular basis
• To determine whether children are
profiting appropriately from the typical
instructional program and interventions
• To provide more effective interventions
for children who do not benefit
adequately from typical instruction and
intervention
Progress Monitoring
Brief assessments are conducted
frequently.
 Assessment occurs throughout the
intervention.
 Results are evaluated to determine
whether student response to intervention
is adequate.
 Student progress is tracked continuously.
 CBMs are frequently used for progress
monitoring.

Progress Monitoring
Sensitive to small changes in student
performance
 Relatively quick and simple to use
 Frequent comparison (as frequently as
twice weekly) of current level of
performance to desired level of
performance

Progress Monitoring
What’s a good response to an intervention?
 Good response

Gap is closing.
 Teacher can extrapolate a point at which the
student will catch up to peers—even if this is a
long-range target!

Questionable response

Rate at which gap is widening slows
considerably, but gap is still widening.
 Gap stops widening but closure does not occur.

Poor response

Gap continues to widen—no change in rate of
growth.
Learning for All
“Response to Intervention offers the best
opportunity in the past 3 decades to ensure
that every child, no matter how gifted or
challenged, will be equally valued in an
education system where the progress of
every child is monitored and individualized
interventions with appropriate levels of
intensity are provided to students as needed.”
—East (2007)

 P.E. “run a mile under ____ minutes”
“maim your opponent in dodge ball”

Diverse training needs within and between grade

S/ST – Responsiveness to staff needs
Staff roles – balancing expertise, flexibility, funding,
etc.
 Re-framing vs. re-specializing (a new title with
the same duties doesn’t cut it!)
 Conflicts can arise when people don’t understand
why someone isn’t doing what they’ve always
done before!
Perceptions of what’s “fair”
Philosophical differences (e.g., Bottom-up skills vs.
Whole Language instruction, fluency as instructional
objective; Punishment vs. skill-building orientation)
Humble Suggestions –
1: Start with What You’ve Got!
1)
START WITH CONSENSUS BUILDING

2)
The best way to kill an initiative is to have it lead the
change! Let the need for change guide the initiative!
Inventory what you’ve got! (i.e., Look in your
closet before you buy those new shoes!)



Current core curricula and interventions (Tier?
Eligibility? Who Delivers?)
Data sources (does your data tell you the story you
need for making decisions? Where are there holes?
Do you have a district/building Assessment Plan
including screening, diagnostic eval, etc.?)
Problem-Solving Structures (system or individual
level? i.e., grade level teams, PLC’s, Collaboration
Groups, Houses, lateral teams, TAT/SAT/SIT/PAT,
etc.; eliminate duplicative efforts)
Humble Suggestions - 2
3) Arrange available data to create a picture of
your building’s “pyramid” (who’s
“responding”?)
 If you can’t tell who’s responding, identify
what information you’re missing
 If your non-responders are >20%, evaluate
core curriculum
4) For those who are NOT “responding,” are there
common needs?
 If you can’t tell from your data, what’s
missing?
5) Do you have Standard Treatment Protocols to
address non-responders? Are you relying
solely on an individual referral model to
address non-responders?
Humble Suggestions – 3: Fill in the
Gaps
6)
Consider what additional needs remain “unmet” given
available interventions

Use caution and discretion when “shopping” for
interventions:


7)
8)
9)
“expensive” does not equal “good”; “free” does not equal “bad”
Match evidence-based interventions with IDENTIFIED NEEDS
(if you can’t accurately identify the need, examine your data
sources before leaping to intervention selection)
Set building –wide and district goals pertaining to
interventions, data, and problem-solving systems – identify
a timeline for reaching goals, support needed from
administration and RtI coordinator, and staff development
needs
For the interventions you have or acquire, make sure ALL
staff being asked to implement them have needed training
to do so
Encourage a culture that CELEBRATES SUCCESSES
(assume nothing – teach everything: some buildings don’t
Things to Think About…



If we had to do it over. . .
- We would lead with data and consensus, not
the initiative
If we were to coach another site. . .
- We would focus on building sustainability
structures and problem solving structures
Integration of Initiatives: Our focus is on providing
an increasingly fluid continuum of academic and
social/emotional/behavioral supports – one
support should pick up where the other leaves
off (we want kids’ needs to be met regardless
of funding source – kids shouldn’t feel the
difference)
The task is HUGE but doable
