Move up a level – interventions are more intense

Move back a level- reduce intensity of interventions

When/Why What Happens

At Tier III – if no progress is made, the intervention can be changed or the Team can recommend moving to Case Review

CASE REVIEW Case Review Team:

Psychologist County Staffing Specialist RtI Team

Team reviews all graph data and compares to peers and any sub groups, teacher input, health information, testing, scores, grades, and any other information that would impact the case

Findings: Eligible: ESE staffing will follow Ineligible: must continue at Tier III

CASE REVIEW During Case Review interventions continue

as Tier III interventions, they DO NOT STOP, assessments also continueWHY? If the Case Review Team decides

against eligibility for staffing, the student will remain at Tier III and other interventions would be recommended

(then Tier III process is repeated)
