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

6. 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.

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

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

12. 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.

13. Example RTI Goal for a 3rd grade student
