7. IPST FORM 7 Tier 2 Intervention - 3X a week, 20 minutes per session = Total of 60 minutes per week Group Size - 5 students Progress Monitoring Tool: Weekly - 5 problems assessing place value Intervention Start Date: 9/3/2014 End Date: 10/5/2014 Setting: Classroom Using place value blocks, number line models, and other visual representations to represent number values. The interventionist (classroom teacher) will provide explicit, direct instruction to students providing multiple strategies and opportunities to represent numbers in place value systems from the concrete to the pictorial and finally to the abstract representation including written form. 34567 1010 11 1212 1313 1414 17 1818 1919 2020 2121 2424 2525 2626 2727 2828 12345 Nickxx A 1/ 5 xx x 3/53/5 xx x 2/52/5 A x x xx x 2/52/5 2 4 3 4 4 4 3 4 4 3 4 5 4 3 4 4 4 5 5 5 4 5 4 5

9. * MTSS GUIDEBOOK - REFER TO PAGES 40 – 41 Teacher Data Team Meeting #2  Evaluate Intervention Data (Problem Solving Step #4)  Teacher reports Nick’s Tier 1 Assessments are below proficiency  Teacher reports Nick’s self-esteem and motivation during math time is improving  Teacher meets with parents to discuss Nick’s failing report card grade and intervention data  Teacher updates PMP and adjusts strategies using Parent’s input. DECISION POINT  Teacher Data Team recommends to change the focus of the intervention from Place Value to Number Sense  Teacher Data Team recommends to intensify the intervention by increasing the time  Teacher Data Team recommends skills to be “chunked” and give more opportunities for practice  Note – If Nick does not show progress within 4 weeks of the intervention, schedule an IPST meeting.

IPST FORM 7 – INTERVENTION #2 – NUMBER SENSE Tier 2 Intervention #2 - 5X a week, 20 minutes per session = Total of 100 minutes per week Group Size - 4 students Progress Monitoring Tool: Weekly – 5 problems (Number Sense Skill) Intervention Start Date: 10/8/2014 End Date: 11/18/2014 Setting: Classroom Specific Intervention: To provide number sense strategies for exploring numbers, number relationships, and number operations and to discover rules and invent algorithms. Will focus on number magnitude, mental computation, and computational estimation for procedural fluency. Goal Statement: By 11/18/14, the group will use number sense strategies as evidenced by 90% on Teacher Made OPM.

16. * MTSS GUIDEBOOK - REFER TO PAGES 41– 42 IPST Meeting #1  IPST evaluates Tier 2 Intervention Data (Rounds #1-2)  IPST reviews IPST Forms 1, 2, & 5  Teacher gives an overview of Nick’s Tier 1 performance  Nick’s parents inform IPST of Math concerns  PMP is updated by classroom teacher  IPST determines who will complete Classroom Observation (IPST Form 4)  IPST will meet in 6 weeks to evaluate Tier 3 Intervention Data, Classroom Observations, and other relevant data. DECISION POINT  IPST completes IPST Form 6 (Academic)  IPST designs a Tier 3 Intervention  After reviewing data, IPST concludes Nick is about 2 grade levels below  Nick is lacking core basic math skills

17. IPST FORM 6 (ACADEMIC) Specify Area of Concern: Math Number Sense Use RIOT to Analyze I.C.E.L. Domains (Use hand out) Hypothesis: The problem may be occurring because there is a significant skill gap in prerequisite math skills. If conceptual understanding of math (Number Sense) would occur, the problem may be reduced.

IPST FORM 7 – TIER 3 INTERVENTION #1 – NUMBER SENSE Tier 3 Intervention #1 - 5X a week, 15 minutes per session = Total of 75 minutes per week Group Size - 2 students Intervention Provider: Title 1 Teacher Progress Monitoring Tool: Weekly – Grade Level Multi-digit Math Probe Intervention Start Date: 11/18/2014 End Date: 1/9/15 Setting: Classroom Specific Intervention: Recognizing arithmetic patterns in addition tables. Practice basic math facts addition/subtraction. Understand the relationship between addition and subtraction. Repeat with multiplication and division. Use concrete, pictorial and abstract representations Goal Statement: By 1/9/15, Nick will show at least a 1.2 CDPM per week on a 1-minute math probe.

19. TIER 3 INTERVENTION #1 – NUMBER SENSE 1/9/2015 Positive Response? Questionable? Poor? Data indicates Nick's performance lagged due to lack of instruction and practice.

20. * MTSS GUIDEBOOK - REFER TO PAGE 42 IPST Meeting #2  IPST evaluates Tier 3 Intervention Data (Rounds #1)  Baseline Data Point = 15 CDPM and Week 6 Data Point = 28 CDPM (Growth Rate 13 CDPM in 6 weeks) Goal was 7 CDPM.  Teacher gives an update on Nick’s Tier 1 performance, which is the same - below district, grade, class, and subgroup level on district assessments and classroom assessments  Nick’s parents attend meeting and give additional input on Nick’s progress at home (tutoring)  IPST analyzes the completed Classroom Observation forms - (IPST Form 3 & 4) DECISION POINT  The team completes IPST Form 8?  Based on Nick’s current progress in Tier 1 and the intervention(s) rate of progress, the IPST recommends a Formal Evaluation?  IPST recommends to continue, modify, or discontinue Tier 3 intervention?  Perform Additional Assessments?
