Intervention Placement Process: Finding the Right Fit Cadre 8 Training Feb 5, 2012

You’ve learned how to develop your intervention system. You’ve also learned how to maximize the effectiveness of your interventions. Where We’ve Been

Now we’re going to talk about how you use your screening data to place students in interventions matched to their specific needs Where We’re Going

Why How What Simon Sinek

Intervention Placement: Logistics

Which students receive interventions? Schoolwide/Districtwide decision rules should determine which students will receive additional support – Based on schoolwide screening data (DIBELS, easyCBM, AIMSWEB, etc) – Based on available resources and system capacity Lowest 20%? 30%? All student well below benchmark?

Lowest 20% All High Risk Lowest 25% Decision Rules guide placement in interventions

60 2 nd Grade Students Lowest 20% Lowest 25% All below and well below benchmark

Linking Assessment to Intervention Screening Data Intervention Program Instructional need

Why How What Simon Sinek

Ensuring an Instructional Match Question 1: What is the skill deficit? Question 2: How big is that deficit? Question 3: What interventions address that deficit? Question 4: How do we implement the program?

Question 1: What is the skill deficit?

Accuracy is more important than fluency Accurate at Skill Fluent at Skill Able to Apply Skill IF no, teach skill. If yes, move to fluency If no, teach fluency/ automaticity If yes, move to application If no, teach application If yes, the move to higher level skill/concept Adapted from

Validating the deficit CBM measures (DIBELS, easyCBM, AIMSWEB, etc) are “indicators” What does your other data tell you? – In-curriculum assessments – Other CBM data – OAKS

Question 2: How big is that deficit?

Is the skill low or significantly low? You must define what is low and what is significantly low: Examples:LowSignificantly low DIBELS Next Below benchmarkWell below Benchmark easyCBM*Between 11 th and 20 th percentile ≤10 th Percentile AIMSWEB**Between 11 th and 25 percentile ≤10 th Percentile *easyCBM default percentile rank settings **AIMSWEB default percentile rank settings …as compared to a Research-Based Standard …as compared to Other Students …as compared to Other Students or a Standard you set …as compared to Other Students or a Standard you set

Question 3: What interventions address that deficit?

What intervention programs does your school have that address the skill need(s)?

Additional resources for evaluating interventions What Works Clearinghouse – National Center on Response to Intervention – Oregon Reading First – i.html i.html Best Evidence Encyclopedia –

Question 4: How do we implement the program?

Placement Tests Once an intervention program that addresses the instructional need is identified, placement tests should be used to form instructional groups of students.

Other considerations Available resources (time, staff, materials) will guide how many groups are created. Consider the behavioral and social/emotional needs of the students

You’ve learned how you use your screening data to place students in interventions matched to their specific needs Where We’ve Been

Tomorrow we will discuss how to evaluate if your interventions are working and when/how to change interventions when appropriate. Where We’re Going
