Placement meeting When should this meeting occur?
3 x a year after screening data collected
Who should be at the meeting? Principal, classroom teachers, specialists, others
What data should be brought to this meeting? Screening data, In-program data, other normed assessment data, OAKS
Which students receive interventions?

Core Reading Program
CCSS – ELA Reading Foundational Skills
These standards are directed toward fostering students’ understanding and working knowledge of concepts of print, the alphabetic principle, and other basic conventions of the English writing system. These foundational skills are not an end in and of themselves; rather, they are necessary and important components of an effective, comprehensive reading program designed to develop proficient readers with the capacity to comprehend texts across a range of types and disciplines. Instruction should be differentiated: good readers will need much less practice with these concepts than struggling readers will. The point is to teach students what they need to learn and not what they already know—to discern when particular children or activities warrant more or less attention.

What interventions do we have that will support this need and align with core program?
What tools do we have?
Why do we have to look deeper? Two students may have similar scores,
but very different needs….. NWF CLS 35 and NWF WWR 0

Let’s look at Roseburg students Two fourth grade students may have the
similar scores, but very different needs….. Composite score 325 and 339

What questions do you have now? What additional information do you need?
The screening tool should be our first look… Next, you need to validate that with
other data In program assessments Other CBM data OAKS
Questions we are asking What types of errors are they making? What is causing the fluency and
accuracy issues? Do we see this in all areas?

Do we work on comprehension? Why? Where? How?
What would this look like? Identify specific student deficit
Specific phonics issue Blending Word fluency Connected Text – phrasing, prosody, Comprehension skill
Use core materials to support (decodable, leveled reader, anthology)
What would this look like? Scaffold as
needed More practice in
specific skill – letter sounds, word blending, word parts, word fluency or connected text

What other information do we need to consider? How do we implement the plan?
Now what!?
Things to consider Placement – some interventions have
placement tests or pretest/posttest Resources – staff time, training and
schedule Student group and size Time needed for program Needs of the students – time of day,
behavior
Ensure that the intervention matches core Use your data to identify student need
Not all intervention programs are created equal – some are more intensive than others. Become familiar with each program
Fragile learners need the more repetition on skills taught in core
Students need to make connections between core and intervention
Ensure that the intervention matches the core Consider the time needed for the
student to make progress
Choosing a program that teaches different sounds or skills could cause more confusion for our students
Does this work?
