3. RTI 2 Don’t Panic Plan Your Work and Work Your Plan Don’t Try to do Too Much Too Fast Your Program will Be as Strong as the Training Provided for the Professionals Implementing RTI 2

4. 7 Steps to RTI 2 Success 1- Universal Screener 2 - Data Analysis 3- Diagnostic Test 4- Intervention Groups 5- Intervention Materials 6- Progress Monitoring 7- Data Meetings Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier3

5. What is a Universal Screener? Brief assessment given to all students. It is used to identify students’ skill levels.

6. First Critical Step Universal Screener (3 times per year) SKILLS BASED http://www.rti4success.org/screeningTools – Reading and Math – Form a Universal Screening Team – Train Screeners to Give the Test with Fidelity. – Teach the Team How to Report the Data Clearly. – Use the Data to Help Identify Students that are On- Level, Moderately Delayed or Severely At-Risk.

8. Step Two Analyze Screening Data Divide students into four groups based on the Universal Screener data Accurate and FluentAccurate/Not Fluent Not Accurate/ FluentNot Accurate/ Not Fluent

9. Sample Grouping Form

10. Step Three Diagnostic Tests – Only for students not on grade level based on Universal Screener – Used to pinpoint the students’ greatest area of need for remediation PASI (Phonological Awareness Screening Instrument) PSI (Phonics Screening Instrument ) Spelling Inventory Running Records Math Diagnostic Test – We use Pearson, our adopted math series

12. Step Four Establish Schedule and Groups – Put students together with similar skill deficits Walk to Intervention Groups Self-Contained Groups – Delivered by most qualified interventionist that has had adequate professional development Systematic, intense, targeted small group instruction 1-3 Ratio K-5 1-6 Ratio 6-8 1-12 Ratio 9-12

15. Vital Fifth Step Select Scientifically Based Researched Materials for Intervention – Reliable and valid results – Adequate gains expected – Clear record of success – Meet NCLB requirements

16. SBR Requirements – Must be teacher friendly Can not require a lot of teacher planning – Train and supervise interventionist The interventionist will only be as effective as the training Overseen by administration for fidelity – Logistics Where will the groups go for intervention What will the core students do during intervention

17. Effective Intervention Lessons Plan Visual (see) Auditory (hear) Kinesthetic/tactile (touch) Must transfer skill to text.

18. Step Six Progress Monitoring – More at-risk students must be progress monitored weekly or bi-weekly. – Make progress monitoring mimic the skill being remediated. – Keep it simple, quick and easy. – Use progress monitoring data to adjust instruction Keep record of intervention and progress monitoring data for groups
