  1. Response to Intervention

  2. Response to Intervention It is a General Education Initiative that can be used for all students in all grades.

  3. Response to Intervention Provides ALL students High Quality Instruction using Scientific, Research Based Practices Early Intervention for those who need it NO MORE WAIT TO FAIL. Accountability

  4. Response to Intervention RTI looks different depending on school. Elementary school Early Intervening Services Middle and High School Clear and direct purpose

  5. Response to Intervention Focus on: • Better Tools • Better Training • More Support (teachers, parents and students)

  6. Response to Intervention Students Get the Services They Need As Soon As They Need Them

  7. Response to Intervention What it is not… • The old way, with a new label • Expecting GE teachers to meet needs of ALL students (i.e. 25 students, 25 interventions) • A referral driven process that considers students one at a time (lots of paper, lots of testing, lots of meetings)

  8. Response to Intervention NCLB and IDEA Blueprint for RTI Focus on more careful attention to attempts to Provide Quality Instruction

  9. Response to Intervention Recent Thinking Special Education Eligibility has been the focus and it has diverted essential resources from intervening and meeting the needs of students.

  10. Response to Intervention RTI and the Law (IDEA 2004) • Must not require the use of a severe discrepancy between intellectual ability and achievement for determining whether a child has a specific learning disability • Must permit the use of a process based on the child’s response to scientific, research-based interventions

  11. Response to Intervention In the Law “Scientific, research-based intervention” is used more than 100 times

  12. Response to Intervention Good News The LEA may use 15% of its funds to “develop and implement coordinated, early intervening services for students K-12 who are not currently identified as needing special education or related services but who need additional academic and behavioral support to succeed in a general education environment” [300.227]

  13. Response to Intervention 3 Tier Model

  14. Response to Intervention Tier 1 Achieved through the School Improvement Team where they identify the school needs and understand school and program outcome data.

  15. Response to Intervention Tier 1 Delivery of a Scientifically Based Core Program that has: • Fidelity • Intensity • Passion • Reasonable Accommodations If Done Well, We Expect to Meet the Needs of Most…Some Will Need More

  16. Response to Intervention Tier 2 is “MORE” • More Time • More Explicit Teacher-Led Instruction • More Scaffolded Instruction • More Opportunities to Respond with Corrective Feedback • More Language Support, Especially Vocabulary • More Intensive Motivational Strategies • More Frequent Progress Monitoring

  17. Response to Intervention Tier 2 • Can be achieved through grade level teams with specialized support • Think of it as “Triage and Sort” • Meets at least monthly to use universal screening data to allocate students to programs and review Tier 2 Students’ Progress (i.e. A.I.P.s)

  18. Response to Intervention Tier 3 is “MOST” • Most time • Most Explicit Teacher-Led Instruction • Most Scaffolded Instruction • Most Opportunities to Respond with Corrective Feedback • Most Language Support, Especially Vocabulary • Most Intensive Motivational Strategies • Most Frequent Progress Monitoring

  19. Response to Intervention Tier 3 • Can be achieved through the Problem Solving Team (RTI Committee, CARE TEAM, TSST, IST) • Meets to Review Progress for Tier 3 Students Not progressing and/or RTI as an eligibility process

  20. Response to Intervention Where do we begin?? A blueprint that tells us: • What do we have? • What do we need to build
