Their research for the RTA program depends on accurate attendance reports
and program evaluation reports.
Key FindingLast year14,570 students were served in RTA for an average of 59.5 days.
RecommendationThe Kentucky General Assembly should continue to fund RTA and expand funding to include more elementary schools.
Program Evaluation January 15
A worksheet will me sent to everyone in early January and the link to Survey Monkey will be available on January 8.
The intervention tab in Infinite Campus
should be completed for every RTA student.
Key FindingThe number of years in RTA is negatively associated with achievement in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades.
RecommendationProvide different intensive intervention for students early if insufficient progress is made.
Key FindingTeachers do not have clear processes for exiting students.
RecommendationSchools should establish well defined processes and criteria for exiting students from RTA.
Key FindingSchools with the most effective systems for interventions had strong literacy teams with high involvement from the RTA teacher.
RecommendationSchools should form inclusive literacy/RTA teams that support literacy.
Key FindingRTA teachers have higher levels of training than interventionists in schools without RTA funding.
RecommendationRTA funds should be used to develop and support RTA teachers related to literacy leadership.
Key FindingSystematic multi-tiered support for students was not always evident in schools.
RecommendationSchools should establish strong multi-tiered systems of intervention and use RTA as a support within those multi-tiered systems.
Key FindingStudents who received RTA interventions in kindergarten or first grades were more likely to reach the proficient level on K-PREP than student
who participated in RTA in second or third grades.
RecommendationSchools should focus resources on providing interventions for all students who demonstrate a need in kindergarten and first grade.
Pat yourself on the back. Celebrate!
