Response to Intervention is a Professional

Learning Community’s collective response

to provide every student with certain access

to the time and support needed to learn and

achieve at high levels.

What is RTI?

Response to Intervention is a way of thinking about teaching and learning that empowers

schools to meet the needs of all learners. Traditionally, schools have operated in what Cole and

Shlechty call “the factory model of schooling.”1 Schools operating like this generally allow fixed

and limited amounts of time in which students receive homogenous instruction. This results in

variable learning since some students lack basic pre-requisite skills and not all students learn at

the same rate or in the same way.

Factory Model Formula for Learning

Targeted Instruction + Time =

Learning

(Constant) (Constant) (Variable)

Response to Intervention represents a radical shift away from the Factory Model Formula for

Learning and a bold step toward a collaborative approach to teaching and learning, especially

when schools identify students who are not mastering essential standards and key learning

targets. The goal of Response to Intervention when embedded within the work of a highly-

functioning Professional Learning Community is to make learning the constant, while making

targeted instruction and time variable factors.

PLC Formula for Learning

Targeted Instruction + Time = Learning

(Variable) (Variable) (Constant)

The heart of RTI is a school-wide system which ensures that all

students have certain access to the time and support they need

to learn at high levels and to master essential grade-level

standards.

Major Components of Response to Intervention

Data-based Decision Making – Critical educational decisions are based on assessment

results. Data is carefully analyzed to determine why academic or behavior problems exist.

Universal Screening – Universal screeners are assessments administered to all students to

determine as early as possible which students are at risk of not meeting academic standards.

Tiered Model of Delivery – The RTI process incorporates a tiered model of instructional

delivery. The tiers reflect increasing levels of intensification to meet the needs of all students.

Progress Monitoring – Progress monitoring is a research-based practice that produces

growth-oriented data about student progress over time. School staff uses progress monitoring

data to determine the effectiveness of instruction and/or interventions.

Fidelity of Implementation – Fidelity of implication results when the delivery of

instruction, assessments, and progress monitoring is carried out as designed.

Essential Principles of Response to Intervention

1) Collective Responsibility: AISD believes that the primary responsibility of each member of

our organization is to ensure high levels of learning for every child. Our thinking is guided by

the question: “Why are we here?”

• PLC Connection: Collective Responsibility = PLC Focus on Learning

– “Our purpose is student learning.”

2) Concentrated Instruction: AISD is committed to a systematic, intentional process of

identifying the essential knowledge and skills that all students must master to learn at high

levels. We believe it is critical to determine the specific learning each child needs to master

essential standards. Our thinking is guided by the question: “Where are our students

going?”

• PLC Connection: Concentrated Instruction = PLC Question #1 – “What

do we want students to learn?”

3) Convergent Assessment: AISD is committed to an ongoing process of collectively analyzing

formative assessment data to determine the specific learning needs of each child and the

effectiveness of the instruction each child receives in relation to these needs. Our thinking is

guided by the question: “Where is each student now?”

• PLC Connection: Convergent Assessment = PLC Question #2 – “How

do we know the students are learning it?”

4) Certain Access: AISD will ensure that every student receives the time and support need to

learn at high levels. Our thinking is guided by the question: “How do we get every child

there?”

• PLC Connection: Certain Access = PLC Question #3 – “What are we going

to do when students are not learning it?”

• PLC Connection: Certain Access = PLC Question #4 – “What are we going

to do when students already know it?”

Outcomes • Identify possible significant gaps in Tier 1 instruction (indicated by grade-level

data showing a large number of students who are not mastering grade-level

standards)

• Decide which students need additional time and support with Tier 2 interventions

• Decide how these interventions will be provided, who will provide them, and how

progress will be monitored

• Decide how students will be grouped if teachers plan on offering shared tutorials

• Decide which students need Tier 3 interventions; arrange meeting(s) with the Student

Support Team

• Review students who have been receiving Tier 2 interventions

• Decide which students no longer need Tier 2 interventions

• Decide which students need continued Tier 2 interventions

o If continuing, decide which students need the same interventions

o If continuing, decide which students need different interventions

6

Page 8: Arlington ISD RTI Guidance Handbook 2017-2018 · Arlington ISD RTI Guidance Handbook 2017-2018 A Resource for School Leaders and Teams Response to Intervention is a Professional Learning

Tier 2 Process • Identify students who need additional support with grade-level standards

• Based on student skillsets, group students within a class and/or across a grade-

level for interventions

• Provide interventions in a small group setting (5 or fewer students)

o 2-3 days per week

o 25-30 minutes per session depending on developmental appropriateness

• Monitor student progress bi-weekly and/or every 4-6 intervention sessions

o Continue intervention if you see some progress; adjust if necessary or allow

more time for progress to develop

• Meet with administrator and collaborative teacher team once every 3-4 weeks to

determine whether to continue the intervention, adjust the intervention, discontinue the

intervention and/or identify additional areas for intervention based on new assessment

data

• Document intervention plans and progress monitoring for RTI in Polaris

• Repeat process as long as students need additional time and support for grade-level

standards

o Students may need support on the same standard

o Students may need support on additional standards

o Consider adjusting the frequency, duration, and intensity of support if students

begin to lag behind on multiple standards

• Remember: Students may need Tier 3 support if teachers discover there are deficits

with multiple below grade-level skills

Tier 3 Process

• Identify students who need additional support with skills from previous grade-level.

• Based on student skillsets, group students within a class and/or across a grade-

level for interventions.

• Provide interventions in a small group (5 or fewer students) or individual setting.

o 4-5 days per week

o 25-30 minutes per session depending on developmental appropriateness

• Monitor student progress weekly and/or every 4-5 intervention sessions.

o Continue intervention if you see some progress; adjust if necessary or allow

more time for progress to develop

• Meet with Student Support Team every 6-8 weeks to determine whether to continue

the intervention, adjust the intervention, discontinue the intervention and/or identify

additional areas for intervention based on new assessment data. Parent should be

invited to meetings but their presence is not required in order to meet.

• Document intervention plans and progress monitoring for RTI in Polaris

• Repeat process as long as students need additional time and continue to show progress

toward mastery.

• Student Support Teams may request a Special Education, a Dyslexia, or a 504 evaluation

when students show little to no progress after two rounds of Tier 3 interventions (12-16

weeks).

• Conduct Health Screening on any student needing Tier 3 support who has not had a

screening in the last 6 months.

• Invite parents to initial Student Support Team Meetings (Tier 3). Parents do not need to

attend subsequent meetings if data indicates the student is making progress. Teachers

should still communicate this progress to parents. Invite parents to subsequent Student

Support Team Meetings (Tier 3) if a student fails to show adequate progress during the

6-8 weeks between meetings.

• Parent letters are located on the RTI Conference in First Class and on the RTI webpage.

RTI Focal Points

The RTI Focal Points allow the Student Support Team (SST) to implement focused interventions

in areas of critical need for individual students. These descriptors provide examples of areas that

the SST may focus its intervention planning. This list is not meant to be prescriptive for every

student. The SST should consider all sources of data and multiple indicators when determining

what interventions will be appropriate for individual students.

Requests for 504, Dyslexia, and/or SPED

Evaluation

AISD is committed to providing every child with the support they need to learn at high levels.

After determining that research-based Tier 1 instruction, supplemental Tier 2 instruction, and/or

Tier 3 intensive instruction has not proven effective, it may be appropriate to request an

evaluation in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Texas Education

Code (TEC) §38.003, or IDEA 2004. This requires documented evidence that a student’s lack of

progress is not due to inadequate Tier 1 instruction or limited access to supplemental Tier 2/Tier

3 instruction/intervention. A campus must be able to document how it has provided appropriate

Tier 1 instruction and supplemental instruction/intervention prior to requesting an evaluation.

Campuses must consult the Tier 3 Guiding Questions document when making a decision to

request 504, dyslexia, and/or Special Education Evaluation.

Immediate referral to the Student Support Team shall occur if a student…

• experiences an extraordinary or sudden change that would substantially limit a

major life activity

• moves into the district or campus and the prior district or campus has already

begun the evaluation process for 504, dyslexia, Special Education, or dyslexia

services

• request for evaluation is made by student’s parent/guardian*

• moves into the district or onto the campus and has critical needs that should be

addressed immediately

▪ obvious physical or cognitive impairment

▪ previously identified as 504 student and has a 504 accommodation plan

in place or previously identified with dyslexia

The Student Support Team will make the appropriate recommendations for seeking additional

accommodations, evaluations, and/or services. Referral to the Student Support Team will not

automatically result in immediate evaluation or assessment.

*See next page for the necessary steps when a parent(s) request a special education evaluation.

13

Page 15: Arlington ISD RTI Guidance Handbook 2017-2018 · Arlington ISD RTI Guidance Handbook 2017-2018 A Resource for School Leaders and Teams Response to Intervention is a Professional Learning

When a written request for a special education evaluation is

made by a parent, one of two responses must be made

within 15 school days:

Step 1

Acknowledge the receipt of the parental request, explain the overall referral process and provide

a copy of the Procedural Safeguards.

Step 2

Convene a meeting of the Student Support Team and review all data to determine if there is

evidence a possible disability (even if student has not been receiving Tier 2 or 3 support).

Step 3

If YES, follow the Referral to Special Education process;

OR

If NO, contact the campus diagnostician and work together to create a Prior Written Notice

Letter to indicate refusal to evaluate. The letter will document the reasons for refusal, options

considered and all other required elements of a Prior Written Notice.

§504 Child Find Notice

Pursuant to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the District has a duty to identify, refer, evaluate

and if eligible, provide a free, appropriate public education to disabled students. For additional

information about the rights of parents of eligible children, or for answers to any questions you might

have about identification, evaluation and placement into Section 504 programs, please contact the

District’s Section 504 Coordinator, Amy Cunningham, 682-867- 7465.

Aviso Sobre La Identificación de Estudiantes Incapacitados bajo

la Sección 504

Bajo la Sección 504 del Decreto de Rehabilitación de 1973, el Distrito Escolar esta obligado a identificar,

referir, evaluar, y proporcionar servicios educativos apropriados y gratuitos a estudiantes incapacitados

que califican para recibir servicios bajo esta ley. Si usted desea mas información sobre los derechos de

padres de niños incapacitados, o si tiene preguntas sobre la identificación, evaluación, y colocación de

niños en el programa de Sección 504, favor de ponerse en contacto con el Coordinador de 504 del Distrito

Amy Cunningham 682-867-7465.

§Special Education Child Find

The AISD has special services available to eligible infants, children, and young adults identified with a

disability. Federal and State laws require that school districts maintain a Child Find system for identifying,

locating, and evaluating individuals with disabilities (birth through 21 years of age) within its jurisdiction

who are in need of special education or related services. It ensures students with disabilities an equal

opportunity for a free, appropriate public education. To the extent they will benefit, students with disabilities

are educated with their non-disabled peers in the least restrictive environment. The specific educational

needs of the student, rather than his/her disability, determine the type of instructional services and related

services provided.

Special services are available to eligible infants, children, and young adults identified with a disability who

may be experiencing difficulties in one or more of the following areas:

• Auditory Impairment

• Autism

• Deaf-Blindness

• Emotional Disturbance

• Intellectual Disability

• Other Health Impairment

• Orthopedic Impairment

• Specific Learning Disability

• Speech/Language Impairment

• Traumatic Brain Injury

• Visual Impairment

Data)

• Do multiple sources of data point to the same standard in need of intervention?

o If not, what additional assessments are needed?

Determine which

standard should be

addressed first.

• Is there a hierarchy to the standards that

would support choosing one?

• Are any of the standards high leverage

standards that would support mastery of

others?

Determine the learning

target(s) required for

mastery of the standard.

• What is the ultimate target type called for by

the standard? Is it Knowledge, Reasoning,

Skill, or Product?

• Are there multiple skills the student(s) must

possess in order to master the standard? • What is the order in which these skills

should be taught during intervention?

Response to Intervention: Speech and Language Concerns

Component of Speech-Language Types of Interventions / Differentiated Instruction

Articulation / Pronunciation

*Speech pathologists consult with

teachers to provide developmental

information, identify targets for

intervention, assist with materials,

review progress, and recommend

movement to RTI meeting if

interventions are not productive or

warranted

• Emphasize the letter sound the student is mispronouncing in sound-letter activities

• Give student feedback on pronunciation (“I heard you say . This letter makes

the sound. Listen and watch how I say . Now you try it”

• Allow student to listen to teacher read a list of words with target sounds (“Listen

for the sound at the beginning (middle) (end) of the words”

• Use word lists or pictures of words containing the target sound to give the student

ample opportunities to repeat words containing the target sound

• Point to words that contain the target sound as student reads and reinforce

attempts to say the word a new way

• Have students make cards with different words/pictures containing the target

sound for practice

Speaking Fluency

*Speech pathologists consult with

teachers to provide developmental

information, assist with materials,

review progress, and recommend

movement to RTI meeting if

interventions are not productive or

warranted

• Model a slower rate of speech, pause frequently, slow down overall pace of

conversation

• Have student speak in unison with the speaker when slow, easy speech is being

modeled. Consider use of memorized or automatic speech (counting, greetings,

pledge, etc)

• If the student speaks too quickly, model slow, easy speech for the student and

encourage the student to speak at a similar rate. Practice for a brief time each day.

• Provide a list of common, simple sentences and encourage student to read or

repeat them at a slow rate

• Allow longer amount of time for student to respond verbally

• Provide preparation time before calling on a student to read (alert student in

advance to his/her reading section)

• During conversation, calmly delay verbal responses by one or two seconds

• When possible, allow student to read in unison or pairs

Page 36: Arlington ISD RTI Guidance Handbook 2017-2018 · Arlington ISD RTI Guidance Handbook 2017-2018 A Resource for School Leaders and Teams Response to Intervention is a Professional Learning

Vocabulary / Semantics

• Refer to the vocabulary interventions detailed in the RTI: Reading Screening,

Intervention and Progress Monitoring document

• Select a limited number of vocabulary words for focus

• Teach vocabulary in context

• Use visual aids or demonstration/movement whenever possible to introduce

vocabulary

• Include activities involving categorization, associations, similarities and differences

• Help develop memory strategies for students to remember words

• Maintain a vocabulary book including word, student friendly explanation, and

visual or illustration

• Sort new vocabulary by category or function

• Give student a “word of the day” to incorporate into interactions

• Name a category and have student brainstorm words within the category.

Introduce new words which belong in the same category

Listening Comprehension

• Refer to interventions detailed in the RTI: Reading Screening, Intervention and

Progress Monitoring document

• Pair “Wh” words with “person”, “place”, etc. when asking questions. (I’m going to

ask a “who” question, so I will want the name of a person)

• Teach student what to listen for ( “listen for the answer to Wh ?” or

• Present information in smaller steps

• Before presenting information orally, tell student what to listen for

• Break story into smaller units when asking questions

• Provide opportunity for student to re-tell instructions or questions

• State multi-step directions one directions one-direction-at-a time, ask student to

follow single direction, then repeat with combined directions

Page 37: Arlington ISD RTI Guidance Handbook 2017-2018 · Arlington ISD RTI Guidance Handbook 2017-2018 A Resource for School Leaders and Teams Response to Intervention is a Professional Learning

Syntax / Grammar

• Model sentences and have the student imitate

• Have the student create and say sentences using a targeted grammar structure

• Encourage student to use complete sentences when answering questions – provide a

model first

• Provide the question word to help student begin formulation of a “wh” question

• Using pictures, elicit imitation of the targeted structure - plurals, pronouns, regular

past tense, -ing present tense. Switch to sentence completion tasks
