Eight Core Principles of RTI I.We can effectively teach all children. II.Intervene early. III.Use a multi-tier model of service delivery. IV.Use a problem-solving model to make decisions within a multi-tier model. V.Use scientific, research-based validated intervention and instruction to the extent available. VI.Monitor student progress to inform instruction. VII.Use data to make decisions. A data-based decision regarding student response to intervention is central to RTI practices. VIII.Use assessment for screening, diagnostics, and progress monitoring. Batsche, G. et al., in Response to Internventin: Policy Considerations and Implementation, p

Let’s Look at Some Data 1 st Grade Student (MOY) Marcus o NWF: 55/57=96% accuracy o ORF passage 1: 15/17=88% accuracy o ORF passage 2: 13/18=72% accuracy o ORF passage 2: 19/20=95% accuracy

3 rd Grade Student (BOY) Sylvanna o ORF passage 1: 80/92=87% accuracy o ORF passage 2: 85/92=92% accuracy o ORF passage 2: 82/95=86% accuracy

How could teachers track this data?
