1. RTI Grade Level Team Meetings Presented by April Kelley

2. Introductions

3. Essential Questions  How do we effectively run data meetings?  What agenda should we follow?  How do we determine if interventions are needed?  How do we determine when to drop interventions?  How will we document interventions?

4. Sample Data Meeting

5. Dorchester Data Meetings Small Group: What did you notice?

6. 5 Step Individual Student Problem Solving Agenda

7. Adjustment Options

8. Effective Tier II and III Decision Rules Consider…  Rate/Slope of progress  Level of performance  4/5 point rule  Trend Analysis

9. Model for Figuring Slope/Rate of Progress for grade level performance target

10. Will all students be able to achieve grade level performance targets?

11. Ambitious Growth Rates

12. Model for Figuring Individual Slope/Rate of Progress for individual performance targets

13. DUAL DISCREPANCY LEVEL & RATE OF PROGRESS Making adequate progress if...  Scores are at or above the established benchmark criteria for either performance OR rate of growth

14. DUAL DISCREPANCY LEVEL & RATE OF PROGRESS Not making adequate progress if...  Scores fall below the criteria for both performance level AND rate of growth

15. Performance Level To calculate a student's performance, compute the average of the last 3 probes.  If a student's average score is equal to or greater than the benchmark, the student is responding adequately to instruction.  If a student's average score is less than the specified benchmark, more intensive instruction may be warranted.

16. Is this student making adequate progress?

18. Calculating Slope/Rate of Growth # of words/wk a student is gaining Step 1: Collect the following: Score on first probe (p1) Score on last probe (p2) First administration time period. What week was it? (w1) Last administration time period. What week was it? (w2)

19. Calculating Slope/Rate of Growth # of words/wk a student is gaining Example p1=1 p2=14 w1=1 w2=8

20. Calculating Slope/Rate of Growth # of words/wk a student is gaining Step 2: Apply the formula Slope = p2-p1/w2-w1

21. Calculating Slope/Rate of Growth # of words/wk a student is gaining Example p1=1 p2=14 w1=1 w2=8 Example Slope = p2-p1/w2-w1 14-1/8-1 13/7 1.8 (gained 1.8 words/week)

22. Try One – 3 rd grader Example P1=15 P2=55 W1=5 W2=14 Example Slope = p2-p1/w2-w1 55-15/14-5 40/9 4.4 (gained 4.4 words/week)

23. 4/5 Point Data Rules Short-range estimate of a child’s progress If… 4/5 successive data- points are found to lie above the aimline, consider:  Raising the goal  How to program for maintenance  Fading intervention (only if at benchmark)

24. 4/5 Point Data Rules Short-range estimate of a child’s progress If… 4/5 successive data- points are found below the aimline at any time, decide how to change:  Pace of instruction  Materials being used or how they’re being used  # of opportunities to respond or have instruction  Reinforcements in place

25. 4/5 Point Data Rules Short-range estimate of a child’s progress If… 4/5 data points are found to be clustered both above and below the aimline:  Determine how to motivate the child to perform more consistently  Gather enough data to determine a trend (7-8 data points)

26. Tukey Trend Line Parallel to aimline = not on track to converge. Need make a change in your intervention in order to close gap. aimline trendline

27. Tukey Trend Line Steeper than aimline = student is progressing well. Look for ways to maintain or fade intervention when appropriate. aimline trendline

28. Tukey Trend Line Flatter than aimline = change is needed. Analyze performance and implementation data to determine the change that is needed. aimline trendline

29. What should we do with this student?

32. Questions to Consider…  Who will be delivering the intervention?  When will interventions be delivered?  What interventions will be delivered?  How often will interventions be delivered?  Who will be progress monitoring? (what tool & skill)  How will you communicate with parents and involve them?

33. Data Tracking Options  Paper/Pencil  Spreadsheets  Google Docs
