Response to Intervention Year One Debrief Year One Progress looks like…. Data teams established Teachers more confident in their abilities Teachers know what data to bring to meetings Core reading and math programs are strengthened through professional development and collaboration Specific data used at each meeting Differentiated Instruction across all subject areas. Specific skill deficits are identified in students and across grade levels. Interventions are designed to close the gap of deficit.

Response to Intervention Let’s Take a Look at Behavior On a Post-It Note…. Record the 3 most prevalent behaviors that may need intervention support. Post to the Parking Lot

Response to Intervention Must match intervention/instruction Should be a quick tool Curriculum Based Measurement – Short, quick probes based on skills Examples: –Running records –Sight words 30/42 –FAIR opm –PASI –PSI –Math Probes Progress Monitoring Tool

Response to Intervention When Progress Monitoring shows intervention is not effective enough –Change intervention strategies –Add time to intervention strategies –Reduce size of intervention group –Change intervention instructor Modifications
