Flipping the Inverted RtI Triangle

Using CBM and Targeted Intervention to Remediate Instructional Deficits

Introduction

“win early, win small, win often.”

MCREL-”Success in Sight”

Intervention????

Introduction

Outcomes• Review the Response to Instruction process as

a context for meeting the needs of ALL mathematics students

• Examine and integrate Curriculum-Based Measurement into an intervention framework

• Evaluate the essential elements of an intervention protocol to insure success

RESPONSE TO INSTRUCTIONUnderstanding the Triangle and the Three Tier Model

Response to Instruction

Core curriculum, instruction, &learning environment

Targeted, SupplementalSupports

Intense, Individualized Support

Data-based Decision Making Across the Tiers

Problem Solving

Tier I

Tier II

Tier III

We’ll be here for most of

today’s discussion.

This is essential to

success!

Problem Solving

Problem Solving

Tier 1: Core Curriculum

• Research-Based/Evidenced• Fidelity• Viability

Core curriculum, instruction, &

learning environment

Tier 2: Targeted Intervention

• Strategic• Targeted• Supplemental• Progress monitored

Targeted, SupplementalSupports

Tier 3: Intensive Support

• Formal Process• Increase in service/support• Increase learning rate

Intense, Individualized Support

CURRICULUM-BASED MEASUREMENT

A Tool to Support Tier 2 Intervention

Curriculum-Based Measurement

“CBM is an alternative to a lengthy assessment. It should be efficient and provide information that will guide and inform instruction and improve student outcomes.”

-Hosp, Hosp, and Howell

Curriculum-Based Measurement

• What we need to know?– Standard directions– Timing device– Performance standards– Record forms or charts

Curriculum-Based Measurement

• What are the advantages?– Efficiency– Alignment– Progress Monitoring

Curriculum-Based Measurement

• What decisions can I make?– Screening decisions– Progress-Monitoring decisions– Diagnostic decisions– Outcome decisions

Curriculum-Based Measurement

• It does everything but…

TIER 2: TARGETED INTERVENTIONAn Overview of the Process

Targeted Intervention

• Based on data you administer a CBM to your students targeting…

• You determine which students are not meeting an adequate level of proficiency

• It’s time to implement an intervention

Remember, the CBM is the measurement

tool not the instruction.

Targeted Intervention

• Who will provide the instruction?– Teacher– Interventionist– Paraprofessional

• How/Where will it be provided?– Small Group– In/out of the classroom

Targeted Intervention

• How long will you sustain the intervention?– Number of weeks– It is not all year

• How often will students engage in the intervention?– 2-5 times a week– Can be instruction and/or practice

• How long will each session last?

Targeted Intervention

• How will we know if it is working?– Progress-monitoring of course– CBM administered based on skill chosen and

duration/frequency/intensity of intervention• What do we do now?

– Some students succeed– Some may need another “dose”– Some need different intervention/instruction

The data will help answer

these questions.

In Closing

Remember:“win early, win small, win often.”

• Really “work” the core• Use CBM to identify student deficits• Plan-Design-Implement Targeted Intervention• Provide needs-based instruction• Monitor progress and be guided by data
