What Do We Mean By “Scaling Up”?
• Within a school?
• Within a district?
• Within a state?
• Outcome: consistent implementation of the district RtI model with FIDELITY across settings
![Page 9: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Methods of Systems Change
• “Entrepreneurial” systems change• Site specific• Driven by core of “visionary” people• Change process driven by local strengths, weaknesses and
opportunities• Motivated internally
• “Sustainable” systems change• Site generic• Externally motivated• Driven by policy• Guided by “blueprints”
![Page 10: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Threats
• It is rare that the conditions that foster successful implementation at an entrepreneurial site exist in sites targeted for “scaling up.”
• Trying to “scale up” from an entrepreneurial “model” usually violates the basic principles of generalization and transfer of training.
![Page 11: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Indicators of Successful Scale Up:State and District Levels
• Equitable outcomes for all students• Student outcomes used as the best measure
of a “successful” scaling up process• Policies and Procedures set the stage for consistent practices across scale up area
• Professional Development used as the vehicle for development of core skills
• Coaching facilitates translation of policy and skills into effective practice
![Page 12: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What are the Challenges to Scaling Up?
• Identify the three primary challenges that your buildings face when scaling up.
• Identify three facilitators to scaling up in your district.

Change Across Levels
• Consensus, Infrastructure, Implementation applies to EVERY level at which change occurs:– State– District– School
• Consensus building is similar across levels• Infrastructure and Implementation processes
are different across levels
![Page 36: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Foundation Beliefs
Maximum benefits to students occur if:• Scientific, research-based instruction is
delivered by highly qualified personnel• Reliable, valid, and instructionally relevant
assessments are used• Problem-solving method is used to make
decisions based on a continuum of student need
![Page 39: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Foundation Beliefs
Maximum benefits to students occur if:• Data are used to guide instructional decisions• Professional development and follow-up
modeling and coaching are provided to ensure effective instruction at all levels
• Leadership is vital • All students and their families are part of one
proactive and seamless system
![Page 40: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Shared Vision of Desired Outcomes
• Maximum effect of core instruction for all students• Targeted instruction and interventions for at-risk
learners• Significant improvements in pro-social behaviors• Reduction in over-representation of diverse student
groups in low academic performance, special education, suspension/expulsion, and alternative education.
• Overall improvement in achievement rates• Maximize efficiency and return on investment
![Page 41: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Parent Involvement
• Meaningful and effective involvement is critical• Parents must understand that
– RtI is relevant and beneficial to all students, regardless of placement
– RtI seeks to find out what specific instruction and interventions work best for their child
– RtI is not a categorical system that students must progress through laterally to become eligible for special education
– RtI does not override other rights under IDEA

Discussion Topic
• What has your building/district done to gain consensus?
• Review the beliefs survey and reflect on the beliefs discussion:– Do you believe that your principals share the beliefs
that drive this common vision or RtI?
• What data could you use to share with building staff that would facilitate the development of consensus?

Infrastructure:Policies and Procedures
• Clearly delineate the components of the model– Triangle– 4-Step Model
• Identify steps/skills required for each component• Decision Rules
![Page 53: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Model of Schooling
• All district instruction and intervention services have a “place” in this model.
• If it does not fit in the model, should it be funded?
• All supplemental and intensive services must be integrated with core.

Steps in the Problem-Solving Process
1. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION• Identify replacement behavior• Data- current level of performance• Data- benchmark level(s)• Data- peer performance• Data- GAP analysis
2. PROBLEM ANALYSIS• Develop hypotheses( brainstorming)• Develop predictions/assessment
3. INTERVENTION DEVELOPMENT• Develop interventions in those areas for which data are
available and hypotheses verified• Proximal/Distal• Implementation support
4. Response to Intervention (RtI)• Frequently collected data• Type of Response- good, questionable, poor
![Page 56: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
“Academic” Behaviors
• Class work completed/accuracy• Home work completed/accuracy• Test scores/accuracy• Student Level of Performance• Goal or benchmark• Peer level of performance
![Page 57: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Tier Functions/Integration
• How the Tiers work
• Time aggregation
• Tier integration
![Page 58: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
How the Tiers Work
• Goal: Student is successful with Tier 1 level of support-academic or behavioral
• Greater the tier, greater support and “severity”• Increase level of support (Tier level) until you identify an
intervention that results in a positive response to intervention• Continue until student strengthens response significantly• Systematically reduce support (Lower Tier Level)• Determine the relationship between sustained growth and
sustained support.
![Page 59: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Data For Each Tier - Where Do They Come From?• Tier 1: Universal Screening, accountability assessments,
grades, classroom assessments, referral patterns, discipline referrals
• Tier 2: Universal Screening - Group Level Diagnostics (maybe), systematic progress monitoring, large-scale assessment data and classroom assessment
• Tier 3: Universal Screenings, Individual Diagnostics, intensive and systematic progress monitoring, formative assessment, other informal assessments
![Page 60: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
A Few Words About Data
• Technology Support is Critical• Common databases (warehouses) must be
created• Transforming and displaying data by hand or
crude methods is a serious threat to RtI implementation
• Critical Indicators– Accessibility– Portability
![Page 61: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Decision Rules
• Response to Intervention Rules
• Linking RtI to Intervention Decisions
![Page 64: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Decision Rules: What is a “Good” Response to Intervention?
• Positive Response– Gap is closing– Can extrapolate point at which target student(s) will “come in
range” of target--even if this is long range– Level of “risk” lowers over time
• Questionable Response– Rate at which gap is widening slows considerably, but gap is still
widening– Gap stops widening but closure does not occur
• Poor Response– Gap continues to widen with no change in rate.
![Page 65: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

Decision Rules: Linking RtI to Intervention Decisions
• Positive– Continue intervention with current goal– Continue intervention with goal increased– Fade intervention to determine if student(s) have acquired
functional independence.
![Page 72: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Decision Rules: Linking RtI to Intervention Decisions
• Questionable– Was intervention implemented as intended?
• If no - employ strategies to increase implementation integrity• If yes -
– Increase intensity of current intervention for a short period of time and assess impact. If rate improves, continue. If rate does not improve, return to problem solving.
![Page 73: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Decision Rules: Linking RtI to Intervention Decisions
• Poor– Was intervention implemented as intended?
• If no - employ strategies in increase implementation integrity• If yes -
– Is intervention aligned with the verified hypothesis? (Intervention Design)
– Are there other hypotheses to consider? (Problem Analysis)
– Was the problem identified correctly? (Problem Identification)

Effective Instruction (Foorman et al., 2003; Foorman & Torgesen, 2001; Arrasmith, 2003; & Rosenshine, 1986)
Characteristic Guiding Questions Well Met Somewhat Met
Not Met
Goals and Objectives Are the purpose and outcomes of instruction clearly evident in the lesson plans? Does the student understand the purpose for learning the skills and strategies taught?
Explicit Are directions clear, straightforward, unequivocal, without vagueness, need for implication, or ambiguity?
Systematic Are skills introduced in a specific and logical order, easier to more complex? Do the lesson activities support the sequence of instruction? Is there frequent and cumulative review?
Scaffolding Is there explicit use of prompts, cues, examples and encouragements to support the student? Are skills broken down into manageable steps when necessary?
Corrective Feedback Does the teacher provide students with corrective instruction offered during instruction and practice as necessary?
Modeling Are the skills and strategies included in instruction clearly demonstrated for the student?
Guided Practice Do students have sufficient opportunities to practice new skills and strategies with teacher present to provide support?
Independent Application Do students have sufficient opportunities to practice new skills independently?
Pacing Is the teacher familiar enough with the lesson to present it in an engaging manner? Does the pace allow for frequent student response? Does the pace maximize instructional time, leaving no down-time?
Instructional Routine Are the instructional formats consistent from lesson to lesson?
![Page 89: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
How should instruction at Tier 1 align with Tier 2 and Tier 3 levels of instruction?
• Teachers should communicate about the following topics in order to align instruction: – the scope and sequence of the instruction as well as the
scope and sequence of Tier 2 and 3 instruction– student progress– information about upcoming lessons to help facilitate pre-
teaching– common vocabulary to determine if there are
discrepancies with the instruction at the different tiers
![Page 90: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)

Tier Functions/Integration
• How the Tiers work
• Time aggregation
• Tier integration
![Page 92: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)

• Goal: Student is successful with Tier 1 level of support-academic or behavioral
• Greater the tier, greater support and “severity”• Increase level of support (Tier level) until you identify an
intervention that results in a positive response to intervention• Continue until student strengthens response significantly• Systematically reduce support (Lower Tier Level)• Determine the relationship between sustained growth and

Integrating the Tiers
• 5th grade student reading at the 2nd grade level– Tier 3
• Direct Instruction, Targeted, Narrow Focus (e.g., phonemic awareness, phonics, some fluency)
– Tier 2• Fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, pre-teach for Tier 1
– Tier 1• Focus on comprehension, participation, scripted decoding
• Use core materials for content• Progress monitor both instructional level and grade placement level skills
![Page 94: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
What do we know about the characteristics of effective interventions?
• They always increase the intensity of instruction - they accelerate learning
• They always provide many more opportunities for re-teaching, review, and practice
• They are focused carefully on the most essential learning needs of the students.
![Page 95: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Interventions: Tier 2
• First resource is TIME (AET)– HOW much more time is needed?
• Second resource is curriculum– WHAT does the student need?
• Third resource is personnel– WHO or WHERE will it be provided?
![Page 96: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
3 Fs + 1 S + Data + PD = Effective & Powerful Instruction• Frequency and duration of meeting in small groups – every
day, etc. • Focus of instruction (the What) – work in vocabulary,
phonics, comprehension, etc.• Format of lesson (the How) – determining the lesson
structure and the level of scaffolding, modeling, explicitness, etc.
• Size of instructional group – 3, 6, or 8 students, etc.• Use data to help determine the 3 Fs and 1 S (the Why)• Provide professional development in the use of data and in
the 3 Fs and 1
![Page 97: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
What strategies are available to evaluate the fidelity of Tier 2 instruction?
• Checklists following the scope and sequence of the program or the learning objectives of the programs
• Reading Walk Throughs• Principal/Teacher Conference• Schedule reflects that intervention is
implemented• Observation
![Page 98: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
How do we ensure that Tier 2 instruction is integrated with/includes core instructional content and transfers to student success in Tier 1 instruction?
• Instructors need to communicate, if applicable• Both instructors must have access to the core
materials, if applicable• Understanding the core content in order to
provide access to the information but at an appropriate reading level
![Page 99: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Intervention Support
• Intervention plans should be developed based on student need and skills of staff
• All intervention plans should have intervention support
• Principals should ensure that intervention plans have intervention support
• Teachers should not be expected to implement plans for which there is no support

Critical Components of Intervention Support
• Support for Intervention Integrity• Documentation of Intervention Implementation• Intervention and Eligibility decisions and
outcomes cannot be supported in an RtI model without these two critical components
![Page 101: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
Intervention Support
• Pre-meeting– Review data– Review steps to intervention– Determine logistics
• First 2 weeks– 2-3 meetings/week– Review data– Review steps to intervention– Revise, if necessary
![Page 102: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Intervention Support
• Second Two Weeks– Meet twice each week
• Following weeks– Meet at least weekly– Review data– Review steps– Discuss Revisions
• Approaching benchmark– Review data– Schedule for intervention fading– Review data

Tier 3 Decisions
• GAP?• Rate??• Independent Functioning?
– Fade Intervention to Supplemental Level– Evaluate Rate
![Page 105: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Tier 3
• Individual and Very Small Group• Individual Diagnostic Procedures• Intensive Interventions• Goal is to determine interventions that close
the GAP• Pre-requisite for consideration for any special
education program
![Page 106: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
More instructional time
More powerful instruction involves:
Smaller instructional groups
Clearer and more detailed explanations
More systematic instructional sequences
More extensive opportunities for guided practice
More opportunities for error correction and feedback
More precisely targeted at right level
resources
skill
Ways that instruction must be made more powerful for students “at-risk” for reading difficulties
![Page 107: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
What are the logistics of Tier 3 instruction?
– Specific place and time set aside on the schedule (daily)– Who will provide it? (classroom teacher or outside support
– Reading specialist, ESE, SLP, etc.)– Materials/how will the provider access them?– Common planning time established between the two
providers, if applicable– Establishing guidelines for when to evaluate the
effectiveness of instruction and guidelines to determine what is a “good” response

Ongoing Progress Monitoring (OPM)
K-2 – All of the same TDI tasks– ORF in grades 1 and 23-12 – ORF at grades 3-5– MAZE at grades K-12– Informal toolkit with:
• Instructional Level reading comprehension passages & passage-specific Question & Response templates
• Multiple Lexiled passages for oral reading fluency, accuracy, and comprehension
• Phonics Inventory• Sight Word Inventory• Instructional Implications of Word Analysis Task
![Page 109: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
What strategies are available to evaluate the fidelity of Tier 3 instruction?
• Checklists following the scope and sequence of the intervention/program or the learning objectives of the intervention/program
• Reading Walk Throughs• Principal/Teacher Conferences• Schedule reflects that intervention is
implemented daily• Observation
![Page 110: George M. Batsche Professor and Co-Director Institute for School Reform Florida Statewide Problem- Solving/RtI Project University of South Florida NASP](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1b187f8b9ab059992979/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
How do we ensure that Tier 3 instruction is integrated with/includes core instructional content when appropriate and transfers to student success in core?
• Instructors need to communicate, if applicable• Both instructors must have access to the core
materials, if applicable• Understanding the core content in order to
provide access to the information but at an appropriate reading level
