+Responsiveness to Instruction

“North Carolina Responsiveness to Instruction (NCRtI) is a multi-tiered framework which promotes school improvement through engaging, high quality instruction. NCRtI employs a team approach to guide educational practices, using a problem-solving model based on data, to address student needs and maximize growth for all.”

+Common Assessments and RTI

Common Assessments supports the RTI model Ensuring we as educators are delivering a guaranteed and

viable curriculum… Are at least 80% of all students meeting goals and objectives? How about subgroups? If not, how do I as an educator reteach/adjust my teaching for

ALL students? If at least 80% of all students are meeting goals and objectives,

it helps to identify students that need supplemental support The frequency of FA lets us know if this support is successful The frequency of FA ensures that interventions are timely

If interventions and supplemental supports are effective, students may “travel” between tier 1 and 2. That is OK.

+PEPs and RTI

PEPs help to document the supplemental support we provide students that are at risk of “falling below grade level expectations.”

PEPs are the LAW. NC law.

If interventions and supplemental supports are consistently ineffective, students may need intensive support (contacting the counselor and administrator to see if a Student Intervention Team needs to be convened). PEPs help in this process.

You can collaborate Make every effort to involve parents/guardians, but don’t delay supplemental support.

Document every attempt!!! MUST be completed by the end of the first grading period (part of the law). Make this a

digital copy. On the server. Put a hard copy in Ms. Crooks’ box by October 31, with required signatures. A final copy will be due to Ms. Crooks at the end of each semester. These will gox into

cumulative folders.
