Response to Intervention/3 Tiers 5% weekly progress- monitoring data driven intensive, individualized instruction inside or outside general education setting evidence-based best practice Tier 3 – Intensive Intervention 5% students not responding to Tier 1 and 2 frequent progress monitoring (every other week) data driven small or 1:1 groupings usually general education setting evidence-based best practice 20% Tier 2 – Supplemental Instruction 15 -20% of Tier 1 students 100% progress monitoring data driven flexible grouping: whole, small, 1:1 general education setting evidence-based best practice all services support Tier 1 80% students are successful focus on all students Tier 1 – Core Classroom Instruction 100% students

RTI goals are to be measurable and attainable in a specific amount of time.

To set a goal for student academic performance, three elements are needed: The student’s baseline academic performance. Estimate of expected weekly progress. Number of weeks for the intervention trial.

Collect Data Examples: DRA2 results Word Analysis Running Records Math Fluency tests Sight Word Assessments Curriculum based measure EasyCBM StarMath

How many instructional weeks The teacher decides how many instructional weeks the intervention will be in place (e.g.,6- 8 weeks).

Example of RTI goal What is the presenting concern? (State in specific and measurable terms) Student struggles with identifying and using initial sounds. Student received a 9/48 on task 11 in DRA word analysis What data supports the existence of the problem? (Baseline data): DRA2 level 2, MLPP Initial 6/28, 9/48 on task 11 in DRA word analysis What is the goal? (State in specific and measurable terms) Student will increase identification and use of initial sounds from 9/48 to 20/48 within 6 weeks.

Example RTI Goal for a 3rd grade student What is the presenting concern? (State in specific and measurable terms) Student struggles with basic addition. Student can correctly answer 4 out of 20 addition problems on 2 minute timed test. What data supports the existence of the problem? (Baseline data): StarMath =1.3, Student can correctly answer 4 out of 20 addition problems on 2 minute timed test. What is the goal? (State in specific and measurable terms) Student will increase number of basic addition problems from 4/20 to 20/20 on 2 minute timed test in 6 weeks.
