Tier 1 – Universal Options
(80% of students successful at this tier)
•
•
•
•
•
•
Reducing barriers to learning for all students
Standards-based core curriculum supported by
research implemented with fidelity
Differentiated instruction
School wide behavioral supports
Connections to community supports
Assessment based & data driven
(Universal screening, progress monitoring)
Tier 2 – Selected Options
(15% of students require interventions at this tier)
•
•
•
•
•
•
Provided to small groups of students in addition
to the core curriculum
High efficiency
Rapid response (Ex: 4-8 weeks, 3-5x per week)
Value added instruction using research based
interventions
Connection to community supports
Assessment based, data driven
(progress monitoring, diagnostic assessments)
Tier 3 – Targeted Options
(5% of students require interventions at this tier)

•
Supplemental and/or Supplanted
(replacement) instruction for individual
students

Building the Capacity
How do we make it happen?
Professional Learning Communities
Ensure program coherence
 Use data systematically to inform and improve
instruction
 Engage in continued professional
development
 Build collaborative relationships that promote
and support student achievement

How does RtI connect to
what we are already
doing?
•
Focus on student learning
○ CIM building goals
○ Looking at data
•
High Quality curriculum
○ Standards based
○ Supported by research
•
•
•
Best practice instructional strategies
Professional development
Collaborative practice
How is RtI different from
past practice?
What could look different?
•
•
•
•
•
Universal screening and progress monitoring
over time
Focus on early interventions
Data driven decisions directly related to
individual student achievement
Community, district and building resources
identified and made accessible through resource
mapping
Collaborative decision making based on student
data

Response to Intervention
(RtI)
Principles for the successful implementation
of RtI in Wisconsin:







Rti is for ALL children & ALL educators.
RtI must support & provide value to effective practices.
Success for RtI lies within the classroom through collaboration
RtI applies to both academics & behavior.
RtI supports & provides value to the use of multiple assessments
to inform instructional practices.
RtI is something you do and not necessarily something you buy.
RtI emerges from and supports research and evidence based
practice.
How will the
ECASD Division of
Teaching & Learning support
implementation
of RtI?
Focus on Student
Learning
Essential Questions
Do we believe that ALL
students can achieve at high levels?
What do we want them to learn?
How will we know when they
have learned it?
What will we do when they don’t?
What will we do when they already know it?
Embrace RtI as a means to
increase achievement
for all students.

Systemic and systematic

Documented
Address barriers to learning.
Social/emotional factors
 Curriculum and instructional overload
 DRIP (data rich, information poor)
 Infrastructure (time, reallocation of
resources, etc)
 Instructional delivery

Clarify and articulate grade
level/course benchmarks.
Develop a coordinated
assessment plan.
 Analyze
current assessments
 Identify/select assessments
▪ Universal screening
▪ Progress Monitoring
▪ Diagnostic
Identify and map resources
at each tier.
Community
District
Building
Build capacity.

Focused staff development
▪ Administrators
▪ Educators
▪ Support staff
• Community
• Parents

Support and collaborate with building leadership
teams
Provide access and
communication.

Skyward data management system
▪ Teachers
▪ Administrators

What assumptions
can be made?
•
•
•
•
All of us share a common mission focused
on student learning.
Each school is unique in their programs
and needs.
Implementing RtI is a journey. It will
develop over time.
T & L is working to provide a framework
for RtI. Each school will add to the
framework based on student needs.
What do you need to do?
•
•
•
•
Continue doing what you do
best…providing quality instruction using
district curriculum, assessments and
resources.
Keep an open mind.
Use the language.
Begin conversation in your school and
community by asking the questions:
Do we believe that ALL
students can achieve at high levels?


What do we want them to learn?


How will we know when they
have learned it?
What will we do when they don’t?
What will we do when they already know it?
