Response to Intervention
(RTI)
Presented by: Michelle Ramos
What is it?
Response to Invervention (RTI) is a structured research-based instruction method to assist struggling learners (Lawrence 2012).
About
- Constant progress monitoring.
- High quality instruction.
- 3-Tiered Instruction.
- Parent Involvement.
(RTI Network 2017)
Early intervention to avoid long time failure. (Lawrence 2012).
Tiers
McGrawHill Education (2017)
Tiers are divided into three parts:
Tier 1 - On Level or Above
Tier 2 - Lagging need intervention.
Tier 3 - Lag behind 1 or more years.
Tiers
Student Identification
- Based off test scores.
- Teacher observations.
- Least, most, moderate need.
- Individual student needs.
Purpose
Elevate students in areas of struggle.
Students that are struggling academically are put into tiers that intervene before the student falls too behind.

Stats
Our Company
Jaeger's Study:
- Showed a positive increase in student's overall outlook on reading after a few months of RTI.
2017/3
2017/2
2017/1
Additional Stats
Jaegar (2017) Study:
- Showed increase in scores in Fountas and Pinnell and State standards based tests from Fall to Spring.
- Notice that there are 14 students who were below grade level who were able to show this improvement.
Additional Stats
St. Croix River district student percentage of students reaching benchmark target scores has increased significantly over the past decade from 35% to 70% (Gibbons 2016).
In the Chicago Lakes School District 2144 in Lindstrom, Minn., the percentage of 2nd grade students reaching benchmark target scores has increased from 38% to 82% over the past decade (Gibbons 2016).
Strengths & Weaknesses
All students are included!!!!
Focus on strategies that are based on needs and standards.
Teachers are able to select the type, amount, and instensity of instruction.
Strengths
&
Weaknesses
Time
Lack of Teacher Knowledge/PD
Lack of Differentiation
Teacher Cooperation
Work with grade-level teams to:
- collecting data
- analyzing data
- grouping students by their reading level to provide the best interventions for their success.
Teacher Cooperation
Winter 2016
Weaknesses
Study: RTI Falls Short of Promise (Sparks 2015)
Weaknesses
- Fairly rigid
- Screening tools not useful
- Array of interventions available for them.
- Results: Students in 2nd and 3rd grades who were identified for Tier 2 had no significant reading benefits either, though unlike 1st graders, they saw no significant negative effects from the interventions.
Lack of Time
Tier 1 - 15 minutes 3 to 5 days a week.
Tier 2 - 30 minutes 3 to 5 days a week.
Tier 3 - 30 minutes 5 days a week.
Lack of Time
Teachers Weakness
Relationship Between Ongoing Professional Development and Educators' Perceieved Skills Relative to RTI (Castillo et.al 2016)
Teachers Weakness
- Not enough formalized training on RTI and how to implement properly.
- No opportunities for teacher's progress to be monitored.
- No continuous practice to evolve RTI.
- Strength-Based RTI: Conceptualizing a Multi-Tiered System for Developing Gifted Potential (Bianco 2010).
"Sadly... Classroom teachers lack the knowledge and skills to effectively differentiate instruction and curriculum to meet the needs of gifted learners."
Implementations
Step 1: Identify your students needs.
Step 2: Review data (observations, test scores, performance, struggles, etc.)
Implementation
Step 3: Identify which tier students fall in.
Step 4: Find research-based intruction appropriate for each tier.
Step 5: Progress monitor (data, benchmark assessments, formative)
