RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION TI R Math Alliance

RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION ( TI) R Math Alliance July 12, 2011

WALT Understand how Rt. I is being conceptualized in Wisconsin Understand the IES Practice Guide recommendations for Rt. I in mathematics at the elementary and middle school Analyze promises and challenges of Rt. I

WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL WHEN WE CAN Identify the characteristics of Rt. I Make connections between the IES Practice Guide recommendations and what we are learning in Alliance

WHAT COMES TOMIND?

WHAT IS RTI? A process for achieving higher levels of academic and behavioral success for all students through high quality instruction, continuous review of student progress, and collaboration. Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction

WISCONSIN MODEL OF RTI WISCONSIN RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION: A GUIDING DOCUMENT

MULTI-LEVEL SYSTEM OF SUPPORT • • • Identify students at risk or those needing challenges Intervene or challenge Monitor progress Make adjustments in the interventions or challenges WI Response to Intervention: A Guiding Document

WI Rt. I Roadmap for Academic and Behavioral Success 8

CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE PRACTICES • Account for and adapt to the broad diversity of race, language and culture in WI • Monitor who is successful with and without interventions/challenges and which are more successful with various groups WI Response to Intervention: A Guiding Document

HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTION • • Differentiated Aligned with Common Core State Standards All students Interventions and additional challenges for those who need them WI Response to Intervention: A Guiding Document

BALANCED ASSESSMENT • • • More than one piece of data to make decisions Universal screeninglikelihood to meet benchmarks Progress monitoring Responsiveness (instruction and interventions) – Effectiveness – Formal or informal – WI Response to Intervention: A Guiding Document

COLLABORATION Educators, families and communities

RTI AS TIERS

NOTE WHERE SPECIAL EDUCATION IS

NOTE WHERE SPECIAL EDUCATION IS

SOME LOCAL DECISIONS… Number of levels in the multilevel system Core curriculum and instructional practices Screening and progress monitoring processes Decision criteria for determining levels of support Interventions and additional challenges Collaborative structures 16

MILWAUKEE PUBLIC SCHOOLS Tier 1 (80%) • Core Curriculum • Research-based • PBIS • Differentiated • Summative, formative, benchmark assessments Tier 2 interventions (15%) Tier 3 interventions (5%) • Academic and social/emotional • In addition to Tier 1 • Short term • Progress monitored and graphed • Specialized • Academic and social/emotional • Interventions or Replacement curriculum or Additional curriculum • Progress monitored frequently and graphed

PRINCIPLES FOR THE SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF RT I IN WISCONSIN (SELECTED): Rt. I is for ALL children and ALL educators. Rt. I is something you do and not necessarily something you buy. Rt. I emerges from and supports research and evidence based practice. 19

WHAT ARE THE PROMISES OFRTI?

INSTITUTE OF EDUCATIONAL SCIENCES ( IES) PRACTICE GUIDE U. S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION • • Recommendations so that the number of children who struggle in mathematics can be reduced by using Rt. I Developed by professionals from math and special education Reviewed evidence from studies of lowperforming students and those with specific learning disabilities Identify whether evidence is high, moderate or low

EIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RTI INTERVENTION FOR ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS Each recommendation has: Level of evidence Summary of evidence How to carry out the recommendation Potential roadblocks and solutions

FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATION Read the section on your recommendation (Skim or skip the summary of evidence) As a group, clarify the recommendation, how the panel suggested it be carried out, and the potential roadblocks and solutions Add roadblocks (and possible solutions) if you see them Make connections to Alliance React

AT YOUR TABLES, CREATE A POSTER Recommendation #1 IMPORTANT POINTS POTENTIAL ROADBLOCKS AND SOLUTIONS (add your own) CONNECTIONS TO CLASS

VISIT EACH POSTER Take notes on the recommendations and connections to Alliance Take notes on any other connections you see React - and think about what is behind your reaction

AND NOW FOR THE CHALLENGES… AT YOUR TABLE, DISCUSS AND BE READY TO SHARE …. Challenges of implementing Rt. I 2. Challenges of implementing Rt. I in math 1.
