What is it?

A method of academic intervention used in the United States designed to provide early, effective assistance to children who are having trouble learning. (wikipedia)

Structure has been seen to reduce the number of children identified for special education

Page 3: RESPONSE  TO  INTERVENTION

Components of RTI

Professional DevelopmentMulti-tiered academic interventionsCurriculum Based MeasuresIdentification of behavioral supportsPARENT INVOLVEMENT!

Page 4: RESPONSE  TO  INTERVENTION

Professional Development

Lessons should incorporate research-based strategies and differentiated instruction based on the LEARNING STYLE OF THE STUDENT (FOORMAN,2007).

Emphasis will be on what other ways the teacher can reinforce the point rather than what is “wrong” with the student (Bailey, 2003).

Page 5: RESPONSE  TO  INTERVENTION

Multi-Tiered Academic Interventions

Page 6: RESPONSE  TO  INTERVENTION

Tier IIncludes high quality instructionIs the core instruction for all studentsProvides for flexible groupings that

target specific skills to insure all students “get it”

A reading baseline should be noted prior to instruction

CBMs should be used at regular intervals

Page 7: RESPONSE  TO  INTERVENTION

Tier II

For students who are not grasping a particular concept (estimated 20%)

Groups are homogenously based by skill deficitInterventions are done 3 days per week and in

small groupsCBMs should be used more frequently10 weeks of intervention is suggested for

students to be able to internalize information, which can be maintained and generalized

Page 8: RESPONSE  TO  INTERVENTION

Tier III

Used for students who are not responding to Tier II intervention (5% estimate)

Includes more explicit instruction focusing on specific skill

Students in this tier are often referred for special education testing

Page 9: RESPONSE  TO  INTERVENTION

Curriculum Based Measures

The structure of RTI is dependent upon progress monitoring tools or CBMs to determine placement and effectiveness

CBMs are tools teachers use to determine progress in math, reading, writing and spelling.

DIBELS, AIMSWeb or iSTEEP

Page 10: RESPONSE  TO  INTERVENTION

Why use CBMs

Benchmark- identify the successful and at risk readers

*Establishing a baseline for growth (AYP)*Help sets student goals*Teachers and parents will know “where to

go” with interventions*Can be used to problem solve throughout

the 3 tiers

DIBELS

Dynamic Indicator of Basic Early Literacy Skills

Short fluency measures used to monitor development of early literacy and reading skills

Designed to id. children who have difficulty acquiring basic early literacy skills in order to provide support

*Look over the site. IF YOU GIVE STUDENTS THE TESTS, DO NOT GIVE THEM TO THE PARENTS, PLEASE!!!

AIMSWeb

A product similar to DIBELSHas online supportNo statistical difference between

AIMSWeb and DIBELSDoes include mathematics probe$5.00 per child (as opposed to DIBELS,

which is free to use)

Page 14: RESPONSE  TO  INTERVENTION

How to use probes

Intervention Central Home of RTI http://www.interventioncentral.org/ includes many probe generators (including math) for free

OKAPI! (reading probe maker, Online Tools heading)

Chart Dog (data management system, Online Tools heading)

Probes for older students, MAZE generators,etc. can be found on Intervention Central, look for links!

Parent Involvement

Remember, RTI is just a framework~ teaching kids, checking to see if they “got it” and providing ways to help if they didn’t!

TRECA safeguards in place already!

Page 17: RESPONSE  TO  INTERVENTION

Additional Comments

DIBELS is normed and typically used for K-3 kids

There are probes for older studentsIt is more important for the teachers to use the

same CBMsCould start the year with DORA/DOMA testing

for baseline and use DIBELS for intermittent probes!
