Emphasis on:  Leadership Responsibilities  Data-Based Decision Making  Measures of Student Progress  Supports and Resources

Explicit instructional strategies/interventions Explicit Systematic and coordinated instructional sequences Systematic Sequence Ample practice opportunities: So students can master and over-learn and integrate Ample Practice Scaffolded instruction and cumulative review: Building upon review and an accumulation of skills Scaffolded Aligned student materials: Weaving skills together so students can apply and generalize Aligned Effective Instruction for meeting student needs include:

The Illinois State Response to Intervention (RtI) Plan January 1, 2008 Illinois Definition of RtI

RtI: the Essentials for Everybody to Ensure Success for ALL Learners

How will RtI help my child? RtI is built on the premise that there needs to be a multi-tiered school system of supports … there needs to be quality instruction and intervention delivered to all students in the classroom, as well as in small groups and individually

Provides an evaluation of the core & targets students who need additional support Screening Helps to pinpoint skill areas for remediation Diagnostic Allows us to know if what we are doing is working Progress Monitoring Allows another way to evaluate the core and if what we are doing is working for all students. Outcomes

General Education Environment Curriculum Specialized Level of intensity Instruction Opportunities to respond Need for reteaching Environmental Conditions Size of group Extra time Instructional Need

Discrepancy Tells us how unique the student is compared to peers. Educational Progress Tells us what accelerates learning. Instructional Need Tells us what and how to teach. Entitlement Decision Tells us whether or not interventions require special education. Entitlement Decision-Making Process (*adapted from Iowa Dept. of Ed, 2005; FSDS, 2006)

Definition of Eligibility and Entitlement Eligibility refers to one of the 13 federal disability categories described in IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) under which a student may qualify for special education services, based upon the completion of the evaluation process and determination of the identified disability Entitlement is a terms generally used in conjunction with a student’s right to the provision of special education services based upon the determination that the student qualified for special education services under IDEA.

Changing focus on Entitlement Entitlement decisions are a continuation of the problem solving process, not the goal of it. Entitlement decisions are considered when additional resources are needed to sustain or improve the intervention(s) being provided in order to assure a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). It focuses on knowing how to make a student more successful – determine the plan that warrants additional resources or level of intensity of supports.

Provides an evaluation of the core & targets students who need additional support Screening Helps to pinpoint skill areas for remediation Diagnostic Allows us to know if what we are doing is working Progress Monitoring Allows another way to evaluate the core and if what we are doing is working for all students.
