RTIGrade Level Team Meetings

Introductions

Essential Questions

How do we effectively run data meetings? What agenda should we follow? How do we determine if interventions

are needed? How do we determine when to drop

interventions? How will we document interventions?

Effective Tier II and III Decision Rules

Consider…

Rate/Slope of progress

Level of performance

4/5 point rule

Will all students be able to achieve grade level

Ambitious Growth Rates

Model for Figuring Individual Slope/Rate of Progress

for individual performance targets

DUAL DISCREPANCYLEVEL & RATE OF PROGRESS

Making adequate progress if...

Scores are at or above the established benchmark criteria for either performance OR rate of growth

DUAL DISCREPANCYLEVEL & RATE OF PROGRESS

Not making adequate progress if...

Scores fall below the criteria for both performance level AND rate of growth

Performance Level

To calculate a student's performance, compute the average of the last 3 probes.

If a student's average score is equal to or greater than the benchmark, the student is responding adequately to instruction.

If a student's average score is less than the specified benchmark, more intensive instruction may be warranted.

Is this student making adequate progress?

Is this student making adequate progress?

Calculating Slope/Rate of Growth# of words/wk a student is gaining

Step 1: Collect the following:Score on first probe (p1)Score on last probe (p2)First administration time period. What week was it? (w1)Last administration time period. What week was it? (w2)

Calculating Slope/Rate of Growth# of words/wk a student is gaining

Examplep1=1p2=14w1=1w2=8

Calculating Slope/Rate of Growth# of words/wk a student is gaining

Step 2: Apply the formula

Slope = p2-p1/w2-w1

Calculating Slope/Rate of Growth# of words/wk a student is gaining

Examplep1=1p2=14w1=1w2=8

ExampleSlope = p2-p1/w2-w1

14-1/8-1 13/7 1.8

(gained 1.8 words/week)

Try One – 3rd grader

ExampleP1=15P2=55W1=5W2=14

ExampleSlope = p2-p1/w2-w1

55-15/14-5 40/9 4.4

(gained 4.4 words/week)

4/5 Point Data RulesShort-range estimate of a child’s progress

If… 4/5 successive data-points are found to lie above the aimline, consider:

Raising the goal

How to program for maintenance

Fading intervention (only if at benchmark)

4/5 Point Data RulesShort-range estimate of a child’s progress

If… 4/5 successive data-points are found below the aimline at any time, decide how to change:

Pace of instruction

Materials being used or how they’re being used

# of opportunities to respond or have instruction

Reinforcements in place

4/5 Point Data RulesShort-range estimate of a child’s progress

If… 4/5 data points are found to be clustered both above and below the aimline:

Determine how to motivate the child to perform more consistently

Gather enough data to determine a trend (7-8 data points)

Tukey Trend Line

Parallel to aimline = not on track to converge.

Need make a change in your intervention in order to close gap.

aimline

trendline

Tukey Trend Line

Steeper than aimline = student is progressing well.

Look for ways to maintain or fade intervention when appropriate.

aimline

Tukey Trend Line

Flatter than aimline = change is needed.

Analyze performance and implementation data to determine the change that is needed.

Questions to Consider…

Who will be delivering the intervention?

When will interventions be delivered?

What interventions will be delivered?

How often will interventions be delivered?

Who will be progress monitoring? (what tool & skill)

How will you communicate with parents and involve them?
