RtI Format
Instructional Support Cycles
Intervention Cycle
●
The length of time we provide academic or social/emotional support to a student to help him/her
work towards their individual goal(s) and grade level expectations
●
Each cycle is 6 weeks long (5 cycles total)
●
Progress towards goal is monitored midway and at the end of each cycle
o Parents also receive email updates at these times
●
At the end of the cycle, SST/Teachers look at the data collected and collaborate to determine
whether the student met their goal and to determine next steps for support or a decrease in
necessary support
What do support sessions look like?

Data Inventory cont.
If your child scored in the 40th percentile for
Terra Nova Reading, which Tier of support
would that data point indicate?
● We use cut-off scores for many of our assessments so it
is clear and objective.
● We look for Three data points to determine academic
services for students.
Data Inventory Cont.
When a teacher or parent has concerns for a
student’s reading skills, which data could be
collected and/or analyzed?
● We consider a classroom assessment or observation
● We will look at AIMSweb and F&P scores along with
any of the other reading assessments that may be
relevant.
● Terra Nova scores
Data Inventory Cont.
What do you notice about the accessibility of
the assessments?
● Data that is used to determine a tier of support is
gathered by both the classroom teacher and an SST
member.
● Because we share the data, there is a high level of
communication that is necessary to create a whole
picture of a student.
