1. RtII Response to Instruction and Intervention paTTAN

2. What is RtII? Data driven process to improve reading and math instruction: Standards aligned Instruction Universal screening Shared ownership Data based decision making

3. PA Standards Aligned System (SAS): PDE - SAS

4. The instructional process mandates high quality instruction with a rigorous standards aligned curriculum for all students. In fact, our core classroom instruction should be meeting at least 80% of our students’ needs within the regular classroom. 5% of our students 5% - 15% of our students 80% - 85% of our students

5. Universal Screening: All students are screened to determine academic status against grade-level benchmarks. Fall, Winter, Spring Comprehensive resource for curriculum based measurementsComprehensive resource for curriculum based measurements AimsWeb 4SightStudy Island

6. Shared Ownership: All staff (general education teachers, special education teachers, Title I, ESL) assume an active role in students’ assessment and instruction in the standards ‐ aligned-system RtII is a regular education initiative NOT a special education initiative. Parents are engaged – parents are informed of their child’s needs, interventions, intervention schedule, and progress. They may request additional evaluation at any time.

7. Data Based Decision Making: Define the problem Develop a plan Implement the plan Evaluate the plan

8. Remember – the RtII focus must be instruction: Supports for RtII must be in place (tiers, time for staff learning, time for collaboration) Data discussions must take place (data analysis teaming) Professional Development must be on-site and job-embedded (coaching, capacity building, integration of Best Practices)

9. What does this mean for Wilson? We will continue to assess district and building needs to ensure fidelity to the RtII process Teams will be maintained or developed (as the case may be) and capacity for supporting the process will be increased A dynamic menu of interventions will be generated and selection will be dependent upon data driven decisions – student needs Schedules will be developed in support of the process not in conflict with it A central resource of information will be developed and maintained in conjunction with continued professional development All students will be engaged in high quality core instruction within the SAS framework
