RTI, SDUSD and the EXCEED

Student Management System

“Diversity is the norm, not the exception.”

CAST, 2009

What is new…and What do I do with this?EXCEED Student Achievement Management System

This replaces the current SST processIndividual Intervention Plans are replacing the informal conferences and informal collaboration on student concerns

A way to create and store your individual student goals and monitor student progress

A way to know what everyone else is doing

Why Should I Care?Our district has a lack of systemic, documented academic and behavioral interventions

iMiddle HAS BEEN implementing many informal interventions but we are lacking in concrete documentation of teacher interventions

Our philosophy at iMiddle is more preventative vs. punitive; RTI (Response to Intervention-a system of academic and behavior supports) supports this philosophy

What does tiered instruction look like at?

Positive Behavioral Supports

Proactive approach to behavior

Provide structures for behavioral success in all environmentsDevelop common expectations

Define positive behaviors

Build relationships

Universal Design for Learning

Proactive approach to learning

Provide instructional flexibility in the ways Information is presented

Students demonstrate learning

Students are engaged

Knowing that <20% of students are auditory learners, we differentiate instruction

Gather facts about the students: strengths, interests, learning style(s), background, goals, etc.

Look at content demands (what students need to learn), process demands (how they learn it), and product demands (how they show what they’ve learned) for each student

Approach instruction with a Universal Design for Learning: curriculum should be designed from the outset to accommodate all kinds of learners Provide options for perception Provide options for physical action Provide Multiple Means of Engagement

DEFINE THE LEARNING PROBLEMIs there a problem? What is it?

DEVELOP A PLAN / Intervention

What should we do about the missing instruction?

EVALUATE Did our plan/intervention work? Why or why not?

ANALYZEWhat are the

instructional “holes”?

Tier 1- The majority (80%) of students in a school should be experiencing academic and behavioral success.

Tier 2- designed to supplement, support, and enhance Tier 1 instruction/intervention rather than replace it.

Tier 3- a greater degree of intensive interventions (frequency, duration, and/or teacher-student ratio) are provided.

All three tiers are provided in gen ed setting, utilizing school resources (curriculum and staff) as appropriate

Tier 1 Classroom InterventionsAccomplished through frequent small group instruction organized

by using consistent assessment of learning

Changes in instructional practice Planning Instruction Managing Instruction Delivering Instruction Evaluating Instruction

Peer Assisted Learning Strategies• Practice • Multiple mass opportunities to respond• Immediate corrective feedback

Tier 2Targeted Intervention, an approximation of the

Skill Deficit

Computer Assisted Instruction (PSI)Fluid and flexible small groups (4-6 students) located in classroom

Direct instruction in small groups delivered by credentialed educatorImmediate , frequent, and explicit feedbackGuided practiceRelevant independent practiceKeeping students interested and motivated

Tier 3a Problem Solving TeamsSystemic problem solving is what differentiates PST from traditional SST’s

1. Problem Identification. What is the difference between what is expected and what is occurring?

2. Problem Analysis. Why is the problem occurring ?3. Developing a Hypothesis. What are the students needs?

4.Choosing an Intervention. What is the goal? What is the intervention plan to meet this goal? How will progress be monitored?

5. Plan Implementation. How will intervention integrity be ensured?

6. Plan Evaluation. Was the Intervention Plan Successful?
