Presented by: Barb Curl, Ph.D. Illinois ASPIRE North Regional Coordinator & NSSEO RtI Consultant

Foundational Concepts, Vocabulary, and Tools

Response-to-Intervention and Problem-Solving are about:

Thinking Differently

About Problems, Causes, and Solutions (Concepts)

Talking Differently

About Problems, Causes, and Solutions (Vocabulary)

Doing Some Things Differently

(Tools and Behaviors)

All the principles and components of RtI are

about building a better support system for general education.

• DOING IT BETTER • DOING IT DIFFERENTLY • PROVIDING MORE LEVELS OF SUPPORT TO HELP

ALL

STUDENTS • REALLOCATING RESOURCES/SKILLS IN DIFFERENT WAYS

Foundational Concepts: The Interventions The Data The Problem Solving Process

The VISION:

To Provide Effective Interventions to Meet the Needs of ALL Students Through Early and Scientifically Based Interventions Through Careful Systems Planning

What is ‘Response to Intervention (RtI)’?

( Batsche, Elliott, Graden, Grimes, Kovaleski, Prasse, Reschly, Scharg, Tilley, 2005) • • •

Identifying and providing high quality instruction and research-based interventions matched to students needs Measuring rate of improvement (ROI) over time to make important educational decisions Educators use ongoing student performance data to determine if an intervention is working. If it is not, it is time to do something different

Problem Solving Method

Problem Identification

Is there a problem? What is it?

Plan Evaluation

Did our plan work?

Problem Analysis

Why is it happening?

Plan Development

What shall we do about it?

Problem Solving is….

• A decision making process around which development and evaluation (of tiers) of interventions and RtI occurs

(our thinking!)

• Data based decision making is the CORE.

• It is designed to improve the educational and behavioral outcomes of ALL students.

If you’ve heard of ‘flex’, it is Illinois’s version/name for Problem Solving.

What RTI Is and Is Not

Is: RtI is an overall integrated system of service delivery- a systems change.

Is Not: RtI is not just an eligibility system —a way of finding students eligible and/or reducing the numbers of students placed into special education. This is ‘incidential’ to an RtI system.

The Educational Stars Are Aligning

• No Child Left Behind • Reading First • President’s Commission on Special Education Excellence • IDEA Reauthorization 2004 • Illinois Rules and Regulations • Creates tremendous opportunity for schools to make significant changes in how they help students !

RTI in IDEA 2004

“the local educational agency shall not be required to take into consideration whether the child has a severe discrepancy between achievement and intellectual ability”

RTI in IDEA 2004 In determining whether a child has a specific learning disability, a local educational agency may use a process which determines if a child responds to scientific, research-based interventions

.

Process refers to “Problem Solving Process Responds refers to “Response to Intervention PERMISSION AND ENCOURAGEMENT

IDEA 2004 CHANGES : Eligibility Determinations A child shall not be determined to be a child with a disability if determinant factor is:

Lack of scientifically-based instructional practices and interventions that contain the essential 5 components of reading instruction.

Lack of instruction in math

Limited English Proficiency

In addition…

For a child suspected of having a specific learning disability , the group must consider,.. as part of the evaluation …data that demonstrates that- …the child was provided appropriate high-quality, research-based instruction in regular education settings, …

Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEIA)

And…

For a child suspected of having a specific learning disability , the group must consider,.. as part of the evaluation …data that demonstrates that- …

Data-based documentation of repeated assessments

of achievement at

reasonable intervals

, reflecting

formal assessment

of student progress

during instruction

, which was

provided to the child’s parents

.

Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEIA)

Not only is RtI Best Practices, it is now part of the Illinois Rules and Regulations (finalized June 28, 2007)

(Paraphrased) • • No later than 2010-11, each district

WILL

use RtI as part of the evaluation process for identifying those with learning disabilities.

*(In order to effectively do this, RtI must be implemented at all 3 tiers.)

• No later than Jan. 2009 , each district will submit a professional development plan accomplish this mandate.

stating how they will

Idea #1 An RtI

intervention system is about having a multiple system of instruction and intervention.

Problem-Solving Can Be Used For Anything!

• Direct Academic Behaviors – Reading – Mathematics – Written Language • Academic Supporting Behaviors – Task/Homework Completion – Academic Engaged Time • Social Behaviors – Social Skills – Disruptive Behaviors

What Criteria….

Differentiate High SES communities from Low SES communities??

Educationally, the main criteria are: • •

background knowledge language development

The lower the SES, the MORE systematic and explicit interventions need to be in all 5 big areas of reading.

WHAT ARE RESEARCH BASED INTERVENTIONS?

• • • • • • •

Research-based interventions include these critical criteria: FOCUS ON ALL OR SOME/ONE OF THE 5 BIG AREAS OF READING EXPLICIT SYSTEMATIC CAREFUL PROGRESSION OF SKILLS AMPLE PRACTICE AND REVIEW IS PROVIDED MATERIALS BUILD AN INTEGRATION OF SKILLS OVER TIME CONSPICUOUS TO THE TEACHER AND LEARNER THE KEY: PROGRESS MONITORING DATA CLEARLY SHOW THAT THE INTERVENTION IS IMPROVING STUDENT OUTCOMES

Idea #2 An RtI

intervention system is about increasing the intensity of instruction and intervention, as needed.

RTI is about intensity of intervention and instruction Remedial/Intensive Instruction & Intervention Accelerated/Targeted Instruction & Intervention Preventive Instruction & Intervention

Example of 3-Tier Level Interventions

Reading

Tier I Tier 2 Tier 3

90 120 180 Curricular Focus Curricular Breadth 5 areas Core Less than 5 Core + Supplemental 2 or less Core + Intensive Frequency of Progress Monitoring 3X Yearly or greater Monthly or greater Weekly

How can immediate, intensive interventions be scheduled and delivered?

1. Delivered by regular classroom teacher during the “uninterrupted reading period” 2. Delivered by additional resource personnel during the “uninterrupted reading period”, or at other times during day 3. Delivered by classroom and resource personnel during after school or before school programs 4. Delivered by well-trained and supervised paraprofessionals during the “uninterrupted reading period” or other times 5. Delivered by peers or trained parent volunteers during “uninterrupted reading period” 6. Delivered by computers throughout the day 7. Power Hour

Idea #3 RtI is about using different data measures to make decisions.

Progress Monitoring and Diagnostic Assessment & Strategic Monitoring RTI is about different data measures 5% 15% Universal Screening and Benchmarking (Early Literacy and Numeracy, Oral Reading, Comprehension, Math Computation, Spelling and Writing Fluency Measures.) 80%

All assessment measures directly linked to interventions

BIG IDEA: Integrated Assessment Systems This is what we’ve had. Assessment This is what we want..

Instruction Aligning Assessment and Instruction

In an RtI System, Keep in Mind the Purposes of Assessment

Who has problems? ( Problem Identification ) Why is the problem is occurring? ( Problem Analysis ) Is our instruction working to fix the problem? ( Plan Development & Implementation ) How well are we doing overall? ( Plan Evaluation ) Taken from Heartland AEA 11

What is Universal Screening?

• Given to everyone • Measures Critical Skills • Brief • Repeatable • Cheap and easy to administer and score • Tells us who and what tier needs intervention

UNIVERSAL SCREENING AND BENCHMARKING:

Aimsweb Literacy Measures:

•Letter Naming Fluency •Letter Sound Fluency •Phoneme Segmentation Fluency •Nonsense Word Fluency •Oral Reading Fluency

WHY THESE MEASURES?

Big Ideas in Reading

Phonemic Awareness Phonics Vocabulary Fluency Comprehension (National Reading Panel)

BIG IDEAS IN EARLY LITERACY SKILLS-LINKED TO THE NATIONAL READING PANEL 5 BIG IDEAS • • •

Phonemic Awareness:

– The awareness and understanding of the sound structure of our language, that ‘cat’ is composed of the sounds: /k/ /a/ /t/.

Alphabetic Principle

: (

Phonics

) Based on 2 parts: – Alphabetic Understanding. Words are composed of letters that represent sounds, and – Phonological Recoding. Using systematic relationships between letters and phonemes (letter-sound correspondence) to retrieve the pronunciation of an unknown printed string or to spell.

Accuracy and Fluency with Connected Text

.

– Readers who are not fluent at decoding are not able to focus their additional resources on vocabulary and comprehension. (

Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension)

Big Ideas Drive the Train

Big ideas drive the curriculum and instruction Big ideas drive the measures we use.

Phonemic Awareness

• Phoneme Segmentation Fluency •

Alphabetic Principle

• Letter Sound Fluency • Nonsense Word Fluency •

Accuracy and Fluency with Connected Text

• CBM Oral Reading Fluency •

Risk indicator that acquisition of crucial skills may be difficult

• Letter Naming Fluency

Why THESE Literacy Measures?

•Torgesen says that “Measures of letter knowledge continue to be the best single predictor of reading difficulties.” •Marilyn J. Adams, in her article, “The Elusive Phoneme”, says that “a child’s level of phonemic awareness on entering school is widely held to be the strongest single determinant of the success that he or she will experience in learning to read.” •Research has shown that Oral Reading Fluency is the best reading General Outcome Measure (GOM).

IN GENERAL, ORAL READING FLUENCY MEASURES PROVIDE QUALITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT 3 BROAD COMPETENCIES:

• • •

1. RATE

: Words read correctly -Above 75th%- consider differentiating instruction -Below 25%- consider need for Tier 2 interventions -Below 10%- further assess, do problem analysis, and consider need for Tier 2 and/or 3 interventions

2. ACCURACY:

Error rates -0-5 error rate= acceptable accuracy (skilled readers are 95% or better accurate)..

-5-10% error rate= accuracy in question ->10% error rate=unacceptable accuracy

3. COMPREHENSION

-ADEQUATE FLUENCY AND RATE CORRELATE STRONGLY WITH ADEQUATE COMPREHENSION

How to Use the Data…

Aimsweb literacy data can give us a lot of information that can be used to help plan instruction, which of 5 big areas of reading is deficit, and determine which students to put together in which intervention group. Remember -- hypotheses can always be confirmed with additional diagnostic assessment data!
