Making Time

PBIS Paved the way for RTI

✦ We were already functioning within a 3 Tiered system of support for students with a focus on behavior

✦ Teachers, students, and families were already accustomed to documentation of interventions and progress monitoring

District-Wide RTI Implementation Plan

✦ District-wide RTI Handbook

✦ District-wide process including dates for Universal Screener/benchmarks

✦ District-wide forms and parent communication

At the end of the first grading period, a team with a representative from each elementary building met to discuss and revise the forms and procedures as needed

Universal Screener Benchmark Assessment Schedule

Merging Tier 2 Systems of Interventions: Academic and

Behavioral

___________ will begin a new form of PAWS tracking today. The form will track 1 Goal only: “I will follow directions the first time they are given.”He will begin to carry a red folder, similar to a PAWS folder. He will be tracked through 13 periods of the day. On the left side there are 3 smiley faces with Velcro on top of 3 X’s AND a picture of his goal. _____ is to begin each tracking period with 3 smiley faces. If _____ is given a direction and he does not comply, simply take one of the smiley faces without any verbal interaction, and point to the picture of his goal below the smiley faces. If he does comply immediately, give specific verbal praise and a ticket, and move on. You are to circle the number that corresponds to the number of smiley faces he still had at the end of the that tracking period, make positive comments and initial the comment box. Please put the smiley faces back on the chart for the beginning of each tracking period. If he loses all 3 of his smiley faces, you are to write an anecdotal record on the back of his tracking chart. I will place additional anecdotal records in your mailboxes in case he receives many of these throughout the day. If he receives 3 anecdotal records in one day, I will write a DOB (minor) for this behavior. I will be responsible for keeping track of his daily progress. If this is confusing, please get with me right after school and I will explain further.Just remember, we are only tracking 1 goal. Please follow the school expectation policy for all other behaviors.Thanks,
