Grouping

Why should I use it?Why should I use it?• Streamline a paper process for screening, grouping,

interventions, progress monitoring graphs, the RTI meeting documentation.

• Access vetted intervention plan ideas and RI PBIS/SEL intervention goals and measures.• Keep track of interventions and progress monitoring for students who move from district to district.• Contribute to statewide sharing of strong screening,

intervention, and progress monitoring practices over time.

What’s your District RTI Process?What’s your District RTI Process?

Exceed capability District PolicyJust because something is possible in Exceed does not mean that it is in line with your district policies and process.

Know the district RTI point person and know the district policy.

Across the District

Guiding your RTI ProcessGuiding your RTI Process

RTI ProcessDoes your district…


• Have consistent RTI policies across all schools in your district?• Have a district level RTI leadership team that drives

RTI process in your district?• See RTI as a general education initiative supporting

special education decisions and processes?• Allow time in schedules for

teachers to regularly meet to discuss student data?



• Have policies and processes in place that allow students to access the resources and personnel necessary regardless of labels?

• Look at data from across all schools within the district to determine trends, patterns and current levels of performance across all subgroups?

RTI ProcessDo your schools…


• Have a problem solving team process in place utilizing teachers, building administrator(s), interventionists, data experts and other related, knowledgeable personnel?

• Have a universal screening process for reading, math (3 x per at elementary level) and/or behavior?



• Have designated time to meet after universal screening occurs to discuss student data across a grade/department level?

• Utilize curriculum based measurement (CBM) for screening and/or progress monitoring (particularly at the elementary level)?



• Engage in flexible grouping of students to target specific skill deficits?

• Have intervention blocks or time within the schedule for students to receive intervention instruction that supplements core instruction?• Progress monitor all students who are at-risk and/or

in interventions?
