RTI

Response to Intervention

What Kind of Data?

(1) calculation of the student’s starting point, or

baseline performance, in the identified area of

concern;

(2) Set a goal for student improvement!

(3) Select a method to monitor the student’s progress formatively during the intervention to determine whether the intervention is successful in helping thestudent meet their goal.

Data is Vital

6 Steps of Success

1) Decide how you are going to collect your data. – Your method should be one

that can be easily used within a general education class.

For example, curriculum-based measurement (e.g., oral reading fluency; correct

writing sequences), behavior-frequency counts, and direct behavior report cards.

2) Calculate baseline after collection of data – Using at least 3-5 data points

that you have collected, create a starting part, or baseline, of the specific skill or

behavior that is being targeted in the RTI. This is so you can have something to

compare to in order to judge whether or not the student is improving in this area.

3) Set a specific duration of time for RTI – create a timeline that will allow

enough time to collect enough data to ensure the RTI was successful. (8 weeks is

suggested for a high stakes intervention)

4) Set a goal! – Make sure the goal is specific, attainable, and measurable!

5) Decide how data will be summarized - Using the data that has been charted

find either the median or mean of data point from both the middle and final

stages of the intervention to have a good picture of the student’s improvement

or lack of.

6) Evaluate whether the RTI had a successful outcome – Compare the summarized

data with the original goal. If the goal is met or EXCEEDED the RTI was successful!

Tier 1

High-Quality Classroom Instruction Intervention

• 1.Teach essential skills.
• 2. Differentiated instruction
• 3. Explicit and systematic instruction (practice—with and without teacher support and feedback)
• 4.Opportunities to apply skills and strategies in reading and writing
• 5.Don't just "cover" critical content; monitor student progress regularly and reteach

Tier 3

Intensive, Individual Interventions

There are two types of RTI:

What is RTI?

• individualized, intensive interventions
• target the students’ skill deficits
• Students who do not achieve the desired level of progress in response to these interventions are then referred for a evaluation and considered for eligibility for special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA 2004).

Academic&Behavior

Tier 2

Targeted Group Interventions

• evidence-based,
• small-group instruction
• implemented with fidelity.

RTI is a model that focuses on

students in general education

classes who are struggling with their

academics or classroom behavior.

The purpose of this model is to

provide a “strong core” instruction

for these students.

Title 1

EIP

1. Instructional explicitness

2. Instructional design that eases the learning

3. Conceptual basis for procedures

4. An emphasis on drill and practice

5. Cumulative review as part of drill and practice

6. Motivators to help students regulate attention and behavior

essential question:

How does RTI meet the needs of struggling students?

exam question:

RTI is made up of how many tiers and which tier potentially precedes evaluation for placement into special education?
