What is RtII?

Data driven process to improve reading and math instruction:

• Standards aligned Instruction

• Universal screening

• Shared ownership

• Data based decision making

PA Standards Aligned System (SAS):

PDE - SAS

The instructional process mandates high quality instruction with a rigorous standards aligned curriculum for all students. In fact, our core classroom instruction should be meeting at least 80% of our students’ needs within the regular classroom.

5% of our students

5% - 15% of our students

80% - 85% of our students

Universal Screening:

All students are screened to determine academic status against grade-level benchmarks.

• Fall, Winter, Spring

• Comprehensive resource for curriculum based measurements

Shared Ownership: All staff (general education teachers, special education teachers, Title I, ESL) assume an active role in students’ assessment and instruction in the standards‐aligned-system

• RtII is a regular education initiative NOT a special education initiative.

• Parents are engaged – parents are informed of their child’s needs, interventions, intervention schedule, and progress. They may request additional evaluation at any time.

Data Based Decision Making:

Remember – the RtII focus must be instruction:

• Supports for RtII must be in place (tiers, time for staff learning, time for collaboration)

• Data discussions must take place (data analysis teaming)

• Professional Development must be on-site and job-embedded (coaching, capacity building, integration of Best Practices)

What does this mean for Wilson?• We will continue to assess district and building

needs to ensure fidelity to the RtII process

• Teams will be maintained or developed (as the case may be) and capacity for supporting the process will be increased

• A dynamic menu of interventions will be generated and selection will be dependent upon data driven decisions – student needs

• Schedules will be developed in support of the process not in conflict with it

• A central resource of information will be developed and maintained in conjunction with continued professional development

• All students will be engaged in high quality core instruction within the SAS framework
