1 PLP Circle of Support: A prevention/intervention model December 12, 2003 Rhode Island Department of Education

2 Reading Proficiency for All Students Comprehensive ELA curriculum, rigorous standards and grade level expectations High quality instruction should meet the needs of most of students Local assessments should be used to identify students not meeting benchmarks Use data to provide differentiated, strategic instruction for all students not meeting grade level expectations

3 Definition A PLP is a personal literacy plan required by state law to ensure that all students become proficient readers and can read at grade level.

4 Major Components to a PLP Assessment used to determine student needs. Intervention designed to target instruction based on student needs identified through assessments. Progress monitoring used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention to date and determine future action.

5 Purposes of the PLP The PLP is an action plan for improving reading instruction.

6 Purposes of the PLP The PLP is documentation of the strategic approaches to support students reading instruction in order to improve reading achievement.

7 Purposes of the PLP The PLP is a record of intervention results that inform subsequent personnel of successful instructional approaches

8 The Expanding Circle of Support is a systematic support system for students. It is a systematic support system for prevention of reading failure. It is a systematic support system for intervention, providing struggling readers with the targeted, strategic and intensive intervention they require.

9 Intensive Interventions Targeted, Strategic Interventions Comprehensive Literacy Framework (School-wide Literacy Focus) Adapted from: Sugai and Horner Students Comprehensive Literacy Framework

10 Expanding Circle of Support STUDENT

11 Screening for all and effective differentiated instruction Diagnosis for students screened as being at- risk. Targeted, strategic intervention and progress monitoring documented in PLP Design intensive intervention and progress monitoring in consultation with staff documented in PLP PLP Support Team considers necessity for additional support S T U D E N T

12 The Problem Solving Process Implement Plan (Intervention Integrity) Evaluate (Progress Monitoring Assessment) Define the Problem (Screening and Diagnostic Assessments) Develop a Plan (Goal Setting and Planning)

13 Classroom teacher screens all students for reading proficiency at beginning of year Classroom teacher provides differentiated comprehensive reading instruction Classroom teacher informs principal of students needing diagnostic assessment Classroom teacher informs parent

14 Expanding Circle of Support STUDENT Teacher Parent Principal

15 Screening results should indicate which students are not reading proficiently. Then …

16 Classroom teacher (w/ training) administers diagnostic measure to determine studentsneeds. Classroom teacher consults with reading/literacy specialist to analyze diagnostic findings. Classroom teacher designs targeted, strategic differentiated instruction. Classroom teacher provides differentiated targeted, strategic instruction

17 Classroom teacher includes parents. Classroom teacher monitors progress frequently at regular intervals often. Classroom teacher informs principal of students needing intervention. This may be a recursive process if intervention is not effective.

18 Expanding Circle of Support STUDENT Teacher Parent Principal Reading/Literacy Specialist

19 If the PLP interventions do not lead to the student reading proficiently the teacher needs to…

20 Classroom teacher consults with appropriate personnel (reading specialist, special educator, ELL teacher, literacy coach, grade level team, etc). Teacher et al. would consider all interventions tried and analyze the data collected thus far, in order to determine new or revised interventions. Teacher includes parents.

21 Persons responsible for interventions monitors progress frequently at regular intervals often as determined. Classroom teacher updates principal. This may be a recursive process if intervention is not effective.

22 Expanding Circle of Support STUDENT Teacher Parent Principal Reading/Literacy Specialist Other staff

23 If the complex PLP interventions do not lead to the student reading proficiently, the teacher needs to request the members of the PLP Support Team to…

24 consider all interventions tried and analyze the data collected thus far, in order to determine if additional interventions are necessary or support services are needed for this student.

37 Considerations when setting up this model Inventory resources & personnel Formulate and communicate plan to implement process Design and provide professional development to empower teachers to carryout the PLP process Carve out planning & instructional time Augment local assessment system Collect student data

38 GUIDING PRINCIPLES Earlier rather than later Prevention and early intervention are more effective and cost efficient than later intervention and remediation for ensuring literacy success. Avoid a wait to fail model. Tilly (2003)

39 Schools, not just programs Intervention must occur at the school level. Teachers are more likely to effect success than the adoption of any program. Tilly (2003)

40 Each and All To teach all to read, we must teach each child to read. Kameenui (2002)
