K ey elements: Ga Pyramid of Interventions 4 Tier 3 Tier 2 Tier 1 Standards-Based Classroom Learning : All students; implementation of the CCGPS through research-based practices, differentiated instruction and progress monitoring through multiple formative assessment and analysis of student work. School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. Needs-Based Learning: In addition to Tier 1 Different by including standard intervention protocol process for identifying and providing targeted groups research based interventions based on school & class wide data/needs and ongoing progress monitoring SST-Driven Learning: In addition to Tier 1 and Tier 2 Different by including individualized assessments, formal progress monitoring, interventions tailored to individual needs. SST Process is required in every Georgia school. Specially-Designed Learning: CCGPS access/extension, greater frequency of progress monitoring, specialized programs, methodology or instructional delivery (Special Ed, EL, Gifted, 504,...)

Positive Student Outcomes are Dependent Upon Fidelity of implementation of RTI Framework (at the system and school levels) Degree to which interventions are empirically supported (evidence and/or research-based) Fidelity of intervention implementation (at the interventionist and teacher level- classroom level) (Pierangelo & Giuliani, 2008)

What is Fidelity? Fidelity of implementation refers to how closely the prescribed procedures of a process or intervention are followed (Mellard & Johnson, 2007). Fidelity and Integrity are two major terms used in RTI research. They are often used interchangeably.

What is Fidelity of Assessment? Universal Screening -US & Progress Monitoring-PM Fidelity of the data collection process means that all individuals are collecting data following exactly the same procedures (Barringer, 2011)

Universal Screening and Progress Monitoring Universal screeners Universal screeners help show the big picture Whole school or large groups of students: Universally screened- using grade level CBM Probes: Reading(1min. fluency, 2-5 min Maze Rdg. Comp) Math(2-4 min computation fluency; concepts/applic 5-20 min) Writing(5 min fluency) Behavior (Frequency/type of office referrals, attendance) Essential Qs Universal Screening: How are our 9th graders performing in reading using 9 th grade probe? Progress Monitoring Progress Monitoring assesses targeted student skills to measure response to intervention using CBM Probes Progress monitoring- CBM Probes at students performance level Essential Qs Universal Screening: How is John- a 9 th grader (who is at 6 th gr level math) responding to PALS- Math intervention using normed 6 th grade math probe?

Fidelity of RTI Assessment: US and PM

What is Fidelity of Data Decision-Making and Interpretation? Fidelity means that the same decision making processes/rules are being applied to every case, across settings and across time Fidelity means that the data is being interpreted the same way by all individuals engaged in interpretation (Barringer, 2011)

Looking at data by class level Consider group or classwide interventions rather than referring one student at a time (STEEP, 2009) Many students in red zone. Qs: core curriculum, instructional issues?

What does this data by class level tell us? (STEEP, 2008) In this class we have identified a small number of students who need: Small Group Intervention Supports

What is Fidelity in Curriculum and Instruction? Fidelity of implementation is the delivery of instruction and interventions in the way in which they are designed to be delivered (Gresham, MacMillan, Boebe-Frankenberger, & Bocian, 2000) Examples of assessing instructional fidelity include: Walk-Throughs Peer observations (Barringer, ret. 2011)

Tier 1 is the Foundation for ALL Tiers Tier 1 is the foundation of the Pyramid. Tier 1 academic and behavioral supports are vital to the success of all Tiers.

Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent Making Education Work for All Georgians www.gadoe.org There is a great deal of confusing language being used to qualify strategies, interventions, programs and practices Which is which? Strategies______________ Interventions: Scientifically-Based ______________ Research-Based______________ Evidence-Based______________ 48

Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent Making Education Work for All Georgians www.gadoe.org Strategies Definition of Strategy A loosely defined collective term that is often used interchangeably with the word intervention; however strategies are generally considered effective instructional and behavioral practices rather than a set of prescribed instructional procedures, systematically implemented (GaDOE RTI Guidance). Examples (Classroom Instruction that Works, Marzano) Cooperative learning Reinforcing effort and providing recognition Setting objectives and providing feedback Nonlinguistic representations Graphic organizers

Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent Making Education Work for All Georgians www.gadoe.org Interventions are NOT (John McCook, 2006) Preferential seating Shortened assignments Parent contacts Classroom observations Suspension Doing MORE of the same Retention Peer helpers (informal)

Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent Making Education Work for All Georgians www.gadoe.org ESEA Defines Scientifically Based Reading Research as: (A) applies rigorous, systematic, and objective procedures to obtain valid knowledge relevant to reading development, reading instruction, and reading difficulties; and (B) includes research that: (i) employs systematic, empirical methods that draw on observation or experiment; (ii) involves rigorous data analyses that are adequate to test the stated hypotheses and justify the general conclusions drawn; (iii) relies on measurements or observational methods that provide valid data across evaluators and observers and across multiple measurements and observations; and comparably rigorous, objective, and scientific review. (iv) has been accepted by a peer-reviewed journal or approved by a panel of independent experts through a comparably rigorous, objective, and scientific review. (20 U. S. C. 6368(6)) Understanding Scientifically-Based Interventions (NASP-Harn, 2007)

Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent Making Education Work for All Georgians www.gadoe.org Interventions Definition of an intervention Targeted instruction that is based on student needs. Interventions supplement the general education curriculum. Interventions are a systematic compilation of well researched or evidence- based specific instructional strategies and techniques (GaDOE RTI Guidance).

PL- Specific Training and Support for Interventionists (Windram & Gibbons, 2011; Hirallel & Martens, 1998) How will intervention implementation fidelity be ensured? Select an intervention with high probability of success Communicate a clear plan to interventionists Provide specific PL, coaching, and support to interventionists Directly observe intervention in action Trainer provides specific feedback Application and coaching in the instructional setting Collect and graph data on the goal

Is this student making progress? (Batsche, 2005) Tier 2 Intervention: PALS-Reading 120 110 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 48 46 50 54 60 66

Fidelity of Progress Monitoring (Windram & Gibbons, 2011) Check: Is progress being monitored according to the plan? Are data collected and graphed on the intervention goal? Using aimline, expected rate of progress? If the progress monitoring is not happening as planned then: Give additional support OR Change the progress monitoring plan

Decisions based on norms/research (Fuchs, 2008; National Center on Student Progress Monitoring, 2008) GrPRFMaze 12.000.40 21.50.40 31.00.40 40.900.40 50.500.40 60.300.40 (Fuchs, 2008; NCSPM, 2008) Expected weekly rate of progress

Top reasons why interventions FAIL? Fidelity Not implemented with Fidelity Implemented Inconsistently Implemented Incorrectly- missing steps, not implemented in the time it was designed (Ex: Do intervention for 20 min 1x wk when research designed for 45 min intervention- 3x wk) Not matched to student need Lack of Progress Monitoring Lack of training, coaching and fidelity to support Lack of scheduling supports

Essential Questions: Assessing Instructional Contexts and the Fidelity of Implementation What is fidelity? Whether an intervention was implemented as planned (Moncher & Prinz, 1991) Surface fidelity (Gersten, Fuchs, Compton,et al., 2005) Were key components implemented? Was adequate time allowed? Was the specified amount of material covered? Quality of delivery (Gersten, Fuchs, Compton,et al., 2005) Teacher behaviors Student behaviors (Parisi, Potter & Whitcomb, NASP 2007)

Intervention Fidelity/Integrity (Windram & Gibbons, 2011) Complete ongoing assessment of implementation through: Participant Reports Observation Review of Permanent Product(s)

Response to Failure to Implement Intervention? If the intervention is not implemented as designed, progress (or lack thereof) cannot be attributed to the specific plan or to student failure to respond (Windram & Gibbons, 2011;Kaufman & Flicek, 1995).

Who Monitors Fidelity? Someone trained in the intervention being monitored Someone trained in structured observation Someone trained in giving feedback and coaching Someone who can develop positive, supportive relationships with teachers

When Do You Monitor Fidelity/Integrity? At the beginning, frequently Provide staff immediate, brief, constructive feedback Follow up with written feedback After a solid protocol is established, less frequently Always when the interventionist asks for help

Parent/Family & Community Involvement A systematic plan with specified practices for parent/family communication and involvement. Sample practices such as: Evidence in developing parent/family pyramids Parent/Family brochures Parent/Family training modules Schools/teams engage families as active participants in the PSP. Use a process to inform parents and community of RTI and the PSP. Parents demonstrate an understanding of the RTI and a MTSS framework. Parents are invited to participate and understand their childs progress relative to grade level standards and their childs corresponding response to instruction and intervention. Evidence of collaboration and engagement of parents at all tiers

The district and school use data to assess the effectiveness of family and community partnerships. Schools/teams strive to develop and maintain a collaborative culture by consistently engaging families and the community in the PSP by: 1.providing a welcoming and culturally sensitive climate 2.providing training in problem solving steps, communication skills, and the RTI process and framework 3.offering scheduling alternatives and various means of communication 4.celebrating growth and learning 5.parent university 6.interactive parent websites. District or School WebsiteParent Brochures Parent Activity Documentation Parent Conference Documentation Parent WorkshopsSurveys and Data Team Meeting Notes

Positive Student Outcomes are Dependent Upon Fidelity of implementation of RTI Framework (at the school and system levels) Degree to which interventions are empirically supported (evidence and/or research-based) Fidelity of intervention implementation (at the interventionist and teacher level- classroom level) (Pierangelo & Giuliani, 2008)
