Hearing from your colleagues…
Why is it important for our
district to implement RtI?
Cynthia Miller, Kindergarten teacher Cass Elementary

Quotes from our OSS Team Members
•“This work is important because we have a responsibility to all children
to help them be the best learners they can be. They need to know that
we care about them.”
•“It is best practice to support the learning needs of all students and
prevent early learning failure.”
•“In order to reduce the achievement gaps that exist among subgroups of
students, it is essential that we have a systematic process that provides
interventions to fill in the learning gaps that exist…”
•“We have fewer resources, more struggling learners, and an increase in
the academic requirements for all graduating students.”
•“This work is important because I don’t want to see any more students
slip through the cracks.”
•“This work is important because it provides a common intervention
model to help support all involved.”
•“Lives are at stake! Children’s future quality of life depends on the
foundation we give them early on.”
Quotes from Educational Researchers
• “The immense challenge of struggling readers is finding just the right strategy
to unlock the door, opening that door is surely the ultimate reward.” (Mary
Howard)
•
“Once we ensure that all students have access to sufficient high-quality
reading lessons, few will meet the federal definition of students with learning
disabilities or dyslexia.” (Richard Allington)
•
“I am committed to children who struggle and the teachers who work so
diligently to support them, and to anyone in the “business” of education who
puts children’s needs first.” (Mary Howard)
• “The key to helping all children learn literacy and content is to believe in their
ability to learn and then to explicitly guide their learning through systematic
and intentional instruction and intervention.” (Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey)
• “It’s the right thing to do for children. It’s logical and it makes sense.” (Susan
Hall)
• “Teaching every child is hard work. With hard work, though, comes a group of
learners who are prepared to participate in society.” (Douglas Fisher and
Nancy Frey)

What was your process for
reviewing data?
Kelsey Mack and Jill Klatt, Kindergarten at Buchanan

Data Analysis
• Hold grade level data
analysis sessions.
• Examine data from
Universal Screeners and
other relevant data.
• Identify struggling
learners most in need of
additional intervention.
• Celebrate achievement
gains!
Achievement Teams
• Achievement Team provides leadership for the RtI
process at each school.
• Benefits of using universal term
• Considers the achievement of all students,
academically, socially and behaviorally
• Will utilize common forms and processes to
monitor general education interventions and
determine the need for special education support
Grade Level Liaisons
• Achievement Team Member acts as a liaison
and works with one or more grade levels.
• The Liaison collaborates with the grade level
team regularly to discuss students and their
learning.
• The Liaison reports back to the Achievement
Team

How did Cleveland’s teachers
provide interventions at Tier One?

Monitor Progress
• It is important to monitor the progress of
students who receive interventions.
• Align progress monitoring tools with instruction,
such as those included in the F & P Benchmark
Assessment Kit.
• If insufficient progress is made, alter or increase
the intensity of the intervention.
• Be sure to keep records of student progress.
