ISAT Science
This is the baseline data for Idaho’s result area. It is the performance of students with specific learning disabilities in the ISAT. We do not have longitudinal data due to a recent change in student identification codes. Although this is our official baseline data, once we have a second year of data we may need to change the baseline to fit only the students who will have two years worth of data, and so forth for the third and subsequent years of this priority. This is our starting point.

We would like to bring the attention of the stakeholders and others who will be following our progress, the reasons why we need to follow only the progress of students that continue in the system. With the implementation of RTI and other similar initiatives across the state, there may be a reduction on the number of students with SLD. This is also a national trend.

And Idaho is ahead of this curve, with a higher reduction on the identification rate of students with SLD when compared to the national average.

A possible impact of such reduction might affect the performance of the group of students identified under the SLD classification. As an example, we are showing here three sets of data: one is statewide SLD rates for the last three years in Idaho. The other two sets are of five school districts only, that have been implementing RTI with some level of state assistance, for the last two and three years.

These two sets of five districts (RTI 3 years and RTI 2 years) have shown a larger decrease in SLD identification rates than the state average in the last years.

This may impact the performance of SLD students as a group. The reasons may be that as districts implement RTI, the reduction of improper referrals
