Behavior and Learning Relationships

Stanford researchers following low-income children in kindergarten and first through fifth grade have found that those who are poor readers in their early years of school are assessed by their teachers as more aggressive later on.

In addition, the study found that students who have good social skills in kindergarten and first grade are more likely to be good readers in third grade.

Adding New Data and Information

Achievement Data• State Assessments• Benchmark Assessments• Progress Monitoring Data

Behavior Data• Office Referrals• Time On Task• What do they track?

What other information do we need to create interventions for students?

New Meeting Structures

• Monthly Grade Level Meetings– Teachers review student data– Teachers identify focus of instructional objectives– Target students needing reinforcement of skills

• Bi-Weekly Tier II Meetings– Participants involved in Tier II interventions and data– Review progress data for small groups in Tier II– Coordinate small group intervention planning

• Alternating Bi-Weekly Tier III Meetings– Participants selected as needed for presenting issue(s)– Problem-Solving meetings– Review Tier III progress data

Coordination of Resources

Examples of New Roles for Staff• TEAM COORDINATOR: Maintains schedule, agenda,

documentation, and appropriate participants at meetings

• GRADE LEVEL MEETINGS COORDINATOR: Facilitates meeting arrangements and agenda for grade level meetings

• DATA AND INTERVENTION COORDINATOR: Facilitates data collection and management for TIER II and TIER III. Trains, supports, and coaches pre-selected menu of interventions. Support fidelity of program.

Coordinating a System for RtI and PBS

1. Have you drafted a plan for model for how you will do RtI in your school?

2. Have you identified your data system?

3. What is your menu of interventions for Tier II?

4. What is your model for Tier III intervention?

RtI Connections

• Teams come together to review, share, and develop their models
