  1. Taking Our Core Instructional Model to a New Level Through RtI

  2. Iredell County total population 146,384 Iredell-Statesville Schools student population 21, 333 teacher population 1, 270

  3. Our Mission Iredell-Statesville Schools will rigorously challenge all students to achieve their academic potential and to lead productive and rewarding lives. We will achieve this mission with the support of parents, staff, and the community. Our Vision A school system committed to improving student learning by igniting a passion for learning. Our Values • Student and learning focus • Motivated faculty and staff • Partnerships and teamwork • Continuous improvement focus • Management by fact • Results focus • High ethical standards

  4. District School Classroom Interlocking plans connect the work at all levels of the system… Student

  5. …and provide SYNERGY! Great organizations “row as one;” they are quite clearly in the same boat, pulling in the same direction in unison.There is a palpable sense of “we.” - Lickona and Davis 2006

  6. Formative Assessments Learning Centered • What do students need to know? • How will they learn it? • How will we know they’ve learned it? • What will we do if they don’t learn it? • What will we do if they already know it? Common Core/ Essential Standards Collaborative Teams Instructional Facilitator Support Mission, Vision, and Values Data-driven Decision-making PDSA Aligned Strategic Plans

  7. Instructional Facilitators… Coach and support teachers through modeling in classrooms Support PLC teams Help facilitate data-driven decision making Help facilitate professional development Lead teams during Curriculum Review Week Support the vision of their school’s Leadership Collaborate with Compass Team members to support implementation of RtI

  8. Formative Assessments Learning Centered • What do students need to know? • How will they learn it? • How will we know they’ve learned it? • What will we do if they don’t learn it? • What will we do if they already know it? Common Core/ Essential Standards Collaborative Teams Instructional Facilitator Support Mission, Vision, and Values Data-driven Decision-making PDSA Aligned Strategic Plans

  9. Common Core/Essential Standards New standards in every subject area, every grade level implemented this year http://commoncoreiss.pbworks.com Lesson plans created by our teachers online Early Release Professional Development – providing 3 job-alike days Curriculum Review Week Math and Reading Foundations AMP – support for Integrated Math teachers Innovation Showcase

  10. Formative Assessments Learning Centered • What do students need to know? • How will they learn it? • How will we know they’ve learned it? • What will we do if they don’t learn it? • What will we do if they already know it? Common Core/ Essential Standards Collaborative Teams Instructional Facilitator Support Mission, Vision, and Values Data-driven Decision-making PDSA Aligned Strategic Plans

  11. Effective Assessment = Student Success! It is not the assessment itself, it’s how you use the results! Formative Assessment: What learning comes next for this student at this point in time? Benchmark Assessment: How are students progressing? How well is this program working? Summative Assessment: How are schools and district progressing? How is the state progressing?

  12. With new standards, comes the need for new, aligned assessments… Math – moving beyond rote computation and memorizing formulas to problem solving approach Other content areas- students will need to explain their thinking, justify their reasoning, and use text-based evidence to answer questions

  13. Formative Assessments Learning Centered • What do students need to know? • How will they learn it? • How will we know they’ve learned it? • What will we do if they don’t learn it? • What will we do if they already know it?

  17. Strategic Learning Goal Strategic Learning Results (Benchmark Assessments, Common Assessments) Class/Course/ Program Mission DO How will we learn it? PLAN What do we need to learn? ACT What will we do if we don’t learn it? What will we do if we’ve already learned it? STUDY How will we know we’ve learned it?

  18. It’s also NCDPI’sformative assessment model…

  19. 1 2 Step 1 Define the Problem Develop a behavioral (observable) definition of problem 7 Step 2 Develop an Assessment Plan Generate a hypothesis and assessment questions related to the problem Step 7 Analysis of the Intervention Plan make a team decision on the effectiveness of the intervention 3 6 Data Step 6 Implement the Intervention Plan Provide strategies, materials, and resources: include progress monitoring Step 3 Analysis of the Assessment Plan Determine if problem is correctly defined 5 4 Step 5 Develop an Intervention Plan Base interventions on best practices and research-proven strategies Step 4 Generate a Goal Statement Specific Description of the changes expected in student behavior 25

  20. Formative Assessments Aimsweb, Reading 3D and other Diagnostic assessments, progress monitoring ISS Model & RtI Learning Centered All students receive core instruction- differentiated to meet their needs PLCs work together to problem solve & discuss intervention strategies 1. What do students need to know? 2. How will they learn it? 3. How will you know they’ve learned it? 4. What will we do if they don’t learn it? 5. What will we do if they already know it? Common Core/ Essential Standards Collaborative Teams Instructional Facilitator Mission, Vision, and Values Data—driven Decision—making PDSA Aligned Strategic Plans Using data to make instructional decisions about students in the RtI process The RtI model is a PDSA, problem-solving process

  21. Layering of Support Intensive Support Supplemental Support Differentiated Core 27

  22. NC DPI Definition of RtI “NC Responsiveness to Instruction (NCRtI) is a multi-tiered framework which promotes school improvement through engaging, high quality instruction by using a team approach to guide educational practices, using a problem solving model based on data to address student needs and maximize growth for all.” As we train schools, we emphasize the aspects of RtI that are already part of our way of working in I-SS through the use of PDSA.

  23. “If you teach the same curriculum, to all students, at the same time, at the same rate, using the same materials, with the same instructional methods, with the same expectations for performance and grade on a curve you have fertile ground for growing special education.” Gary Germann, 2003

  24. What is RtI? Framework that focuses on: Appropriate, targeted instruction (Plan) Researched-based teaching strategies (Do) Early intervention (Study) Accurate assessment with valid, reliable data (Study) Frequent progress monitoring (Study) Informed instructional decisions (Act)

  25. Focus on the Core – Year 1 is Tier 1 “RtI has caused us to look at our CORE instruction and make sure we differentiate for varying abilities while using small focused groups to make sure all students are mastering specific objectives that week.” Steve Sheets

  26. Troutman Elementary In first year of implementation, TES completely eliminated separate pull out time for intervention/enrichment and focused solely on strong core instruction. Leadership vision and collaboration were key elements of the schools’ success. TES had the highest growth overall out of 17 elementary schools.

  27. Universal Screening has been completed at all Pilot Schools. All hands on deck approach (I3 Team, C & I Team, Leadership Academy, IF Core, Inst. Technology Spec., Finance, Child Nutrition, Superintendent, Human Resources, Maintenance, A-team Chairs, classroom teachers, school administrators) Effective Scheduling Progress Monitoring “We are using our screening data to identify students who need extra help in the classroom and at other times during the day to help them get on grade level.” Jonathan Ribbeck, Principal Celeste Henkel

  28. Skill Specific Strategies

  29. Collaborative Organizational Model to Promote Aligned Support Structures The “Model” includes: Common/Aligned Professional Development of Support Structures Support to schools provided by Support Structures i3 grant-level Collaboration

  30. Four “Support Structures” Exceptional Children Program Specialists Instructional Facilitators Instructional Technology Coordinators Responsiveness to Instruction (RtI) Coordinators/A-team Chairs Two Focus Areas: RtI PLCs Grant Goals: Effective Teachers Academic Success of high-need students Academic Success of EC and ELL students
