1. Meeting the needs of struggling learners Victoria O’Neal K-12 Math Intervention Specialist Special Education

2.  What is RtI?  Core versus Intervention  Intervention resources

3. What is RtI?

4. What is best practice for core instruction? What is the difference between core instruction and intervention? What is best practice for intervention?

6.  Provide high-quality constructive learning experiences—5E model, for example  Provide mathematically rigorous learning experiences  Move between concrete, pictorial, and abstract at all levels of curriculum  Emphasize real-world problem solving  Incorporate frequent formative and summative assessment

7.  Assess for need  Focus on number sense—rational number attributes and operations  Provide direct, systematic, and explicit instruction  Use Concrete-Representational-Abstract sequencing  Give appropriate attention to procedural fluency (facts and algorithms)  Be consistent  Address motivation and productive disposition

8.  Determine when you will do this intervention  Choose your groups—homogeneous, strategic  Plan the intervention schedule  Prepare the materials  Pretest (optional)  5-10 minutes fluency, ~20 minutes lesson  Progress monitor  Posttest
