RTI, Response to Intervention

• “RTI is a process where a student’s response to appropriate, high-quality, research-based instruction and intervention is documented across tiered levels of services.”

Dr. Jan Hasbrouck

Page 3: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

The Goal of RTI: PREVENTION

• “Reduce the number of students with academic or behavior problems designated as “disabled.”

Dr. Jan Hasbrouck

How can RTI accomplish this goal?

Page 4: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Research has confirmed that we can PREVENT

• many, if not most, reading difficulties that are not brain based.

Dr. Jan Hasbrouck

• Therefore we can prevent incorrectly labeling a child.

NEW Research on Adolescent Literacy

• Time to Act: An Agenda for Advancing Adolescent Literacy for College and Career Success

• Final report from Carnegie Corporation of New York’s Council on Advancing Adolescent Literacy

• http://www.carnegie.org/literacy/tta/

Page 10: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Time to Act Findings

• Reading is developmental.

• Literacy must be taught across the core and by core content teachers who help students understand the vocabulary and increase the comprehension of the text within their own disciplines.

Page 11: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

TALA

• TALA initiative teaches middle school teachers how to do this!

• Therefore, an excellent way to change TIER is to make sure that 6-8th grade social studies, math, science and ELA teachers attend TALA----and use the routines!

Page 12: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

TALA Success Story

• Outside Evaluators reported to TEA that 6th grade EL learners and at-risk students, in schools with a high degree of TALA routines implementation, improved on their TAKS reading tests.

• TALA will therefore be funded for two more years!

Page 13: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Time to Act Success Story

• Duncan Polytechnical High School, Fresno, CA

• 91% free and reduced-price means

• 34% EL learners

Page 14: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Duncan Polytechnical High School, Fresno, CA

• Change started with strategies for effective textbooks, moved to writing across core, added 30 minutes of professional development daily.

• Leadership opportunities spread across the school and expected!

Page 15: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Duncan Success

• All content teachers must teach literacy of their content; they can’t say, “ ‘I am not a teacher of reading’ ” (pg.40).

Page 16: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Duncan Success

• Entering students receive foundation in technological literacy skills as well as strong foundation in math, reading and language arts.

Page 17: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Why is Reading so difficult to teach?

Page 25: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

National Reading Panel, 2000

• Educators have to address the five components of reading:

• Phonemic Awareness

• Phonics

• Fluency

• Vocabulary

• Comprehension

Page 26: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Intervention Planning: Step 1: Student and Campus Identification of needs

• Identify students and areas of difficulty through screening and diagnostic assessments.

• Identify individual students as well as campus level areas of difficulty.

• Decide on what data will be gathered and criteria to place a child in Tier II.

Page 27: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Step1: Set Criteria for Placement in Tier II

• http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/curriculum/readingfirst/TPRIREADFIRSTTIER2CRITERIA.pdf

Sample for TPRI: GRADE 1 BOY • 1. Still Developing on TPRI GRADE 1 BOY SCREENING. MOY • 1. Listening Comprehension, OR • 2. Reading Story 1 or Story 2, OR• 3. Reading Story 3, 4, or 5 at a rate less than 40 WCPM. EOY • 1. Still Developing on TPRI GRADE 1 EOY SCREENING, OR • 2. Listening Comprehension, OR • 3. Reading Story 1 or Story 2, OR • 4. Reading Story 3, 4, or 5 at a rate less than 60 WCPM.

Page 28: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Step 2: Individual Students

• Match appropriate intervention to meet the area of difficulties identified in an individual student’s diagnostic assessments.

Page 29: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Step 2: Campus Level

• Make a plan to change Tier I instruction.

• Implement professional development.

• Create leadership opportunities.

• Implement changes.

Page 30: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Step 3: Intervention for Individual Students

• Tier II intervention taught in a direct, systematic, explicit and accelerated manner.

• Tier II taught with a sense of urgency.

• Goal is to return the child to Tier I instruction.

Page 31: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Step 3: Tier I Campus Level Instruction

• Support teachers as they teach Tier I in a more direct, systematic manner with attention to differentiated instruction.

• Support leadership.

• Support literacy across core-reading and writing in the various disciplines.

Page 32: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Step 4: Progress Monitor

• Progress Monitor students as well as campus plan for Tier I.

• Adjust instruction for students if needed.

• Provide on-going support for teachers.

• National Center on Student Progress Monitoring

• http://www.studentprogress.org/

Page 33: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

A Good Reading Program

• K-3- give early identification assessment that is used to create Tiered instruction, i.e. small group instruction in Tier I, and criteria for students to be put in Tier II or Tier III

3 Tiered Model of Reading• http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/curriculum/readi

ngfirst/instrucframe.html

Page 34: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

As You Move into the Upper Grades

• Monitor Fluency, Comprehension and Vocabulary

• Goal is to have students reading 150 wcpm with comprehension during middle school.

• Use a diagnostic.

• Make sure the intervention targets the key areas.

Page 35: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Upper Grades

• ELL students may have to have instruction in phonemic awareness and phonics.

• Some middle school struggling readers need phonics and morphology (roots) in addition to fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.

Page 36: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

All Grades

• Use combination of programs (software, direct instruction, etc..) Just match the program with the need. Don’t target just one need.

• For example, Read Naturally targets fluency. REWARDS targets phonics. Now, you would need something for morphology and comprehension.

Page 37: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Goal: Middle of 3rd grade

• According to research done on TPRI, students who were reading 90 wcpm with COMPREHENSION at the middle of third grade (MOY) were more than likely going to pass TAKS.

• Those who were not reading at this rate would more than likely fail.

• Use AIMSweb, STEEP, fluency probes to make sure your 3rd graders are on target.

Page 38: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

What about 4th and 5th grade?

• If a child is unsuccessful on 3rd grade TAKS, they should automatically start 4th grade in Tiered Intervention.

• Diagnostic Tools: See “Commonly Used Assessments for Older Students” from Florida Center for Reading Research. (A personal response to me from the Director of Assessment Programs.)

Page 39: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

5th Grade SSI Year

• If a child is unsuccessful on their first administration, BEST PRACTICE would be for the GPC to recommend that as part of the accelerated instruction in 6th (if the child goes to 6th), the student must be given the Texas Middle School Fluency Assessment, or TMSFA.

Page 40: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

TMSFA

• This is the free, Texas-created diagnostic tool designed to help your teachers and interventionists diagnose why a student is failing reading.

Page 41: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

TMSFA-Students will fail because:

A. They cannot decode multi-syllabic words such as determination, anxiety and quadrilateral, which is why they are dysfluent, and hence, why they do not comprehend.

B. They are dysfluent, which impedes their comprehension.

C. They can decode; they are fluent. But, they aren’t paying attention to the text. (Teachers name them “word callers.”)

Page 42: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Who Should be Given the TMSFA?

• Anyone in danger of failing. (They passed, but barely. They passed with 5 points.)

• Anyone who failed 5th, 6th or 7th grade Reading TAKS.

• Anyone in 6-8th who has never taken a TAKS test, including ELL students who will take TAKS for the first time.

• Students from other states. • Anyone you are worried about.

Page 43: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Who MUST Be Given the TMSFA?

• According to state law, all 7th grade students who were unsuccessful on 6th grade Reading TAKS.

• Why?

• To help with your 8th grade SSI year.

Page 44: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

So,

• if it is a free diagnostic tool for use in 6th, 7th and 8th grade, use the tool to drive instruction and intervention.

Page 45: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Middle School and Acceleration

• A NOTE OF CAUTION:

• If a student is two grade levels behind or more in secondary, their intervention needs to be thought as Tier III.

• They need very direct, explicit, systematic instruction.

• The teachers need support in their training.

Page 51: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

How does RTI identify students with learning disabilities?

• First, a tiered intervention model reduces the risk of students being assessed for special education who just need deeper instruction; they do not have a disability.

Page 52: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Second...

• a good RTI program will help students without learning disabilities grow towards appropriate targets.

Page 53: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Third…

• those with disabilities will be resistors, or in other words, not make as many gains as others.

• These students are more than likely the students with true learning disabilities.

Page 54: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Therefore…

• a good RTI program, according to Dr. Reid Lyon, formerly of the National Institutes of Health, will reveal the students with disabilities faster and more reliably.

Page 55: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Best Practice for Accelerated Instruction, pg 14, GPC Manual (italics and bold added.)

• Although not required by law, the following practices have proven effective in helping students achieve success. It is recommended that schools:

• identify target students and determine instructional priorities;

Page 56: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Best Practice, GPC Manual

• provide at least 30 minutes a day of additional systematic and explicit instruction;

• provide small-group instruction, i.e., one adult per three to four students;

Page 57: Reading Interventions and RTI:  Changing  General  Education

Best Practice, GPC Manual

• provide a minimum of 60 sessions (12 weeks) of intervention help for students; and

• use highly trained professionals to deliver instruction and provide intervention.
