SST/RTI Teacher Presentation
Presented by Cameryn Rivers SY Weve all been here. The SST/RTI
Pyramid This is what I was always shown as a teacher. I understood
it, but my understanding did not transfer to my practice outside of
the PD. I knew I had to do interventions, but I dont think I took
the time to completely understand the process, ON TOP of EVERYTHING
else I was responsible for. In fact, when I saw this pyramid I got
the feeling of. Theres that pyramid again
If youre like me the sight of this pyramid may cause this.. HUH???
Or this SST/RTI in Laymans Terms
Intense interventions and potential evaluation. Well have no fear,
the easy pyramid is here. Tier 1 is effective classroom
instruction. This is where you teach students using research based
instructional strategies. If students are not responding to your
teaching strategies consult with your instructional coach to ensure
that you have support in effectively meeting the needs of students.
Tier 2 is when you see your best efforts in the classroom arent
working and your students need additional assistance to be
successful. This is where you will implement Tier 2 level of
interventions. Once the student has been given the intervention for
a reasonable amount of time (about 8 10 times) and there is still
no success or improvement, the student will begin to receive more
intense interventions and move to Tier 3. During Tier 3 is where
the student becomes the subject of the SST (Student Support Team).
At tier 2 the student IS NOT in SST, this does not begin until the
student reaches Tier 3. Basically Tier 2 is school and parent
business and Tier 3 becomes school, parent, Special Education, and
Psychologist business. In Tier 3, we begin to make decisions about
whether or not this student needs to be considered for an
evaluation. Tier 4 is where the student qualifies forSpecial
Education. Instruction with interventions Effective classroom
instruction What is RTI? A Response to Intervention process:
includes all students
is designed as a proactive approach for instructionandintervention
A flexible process that changes with the student is the
responsibility of all certified staff and otherinstructional
support staff This whole pyramid encompasses the Response to
Intervention process 8 The RTI process begins with:
Tier 1 Instruction Tier 1 Instruction is for ALL Students Tier 1
Instruction should be consistentacross ALL schools This is the
beginning of the RTI process The RTI process begins with:
Research-Based, Highly Engaging Instruction. What do we have
without this in every classroom? Lets talk about what Tier 1 looks
like..Tier 1 is at the base of the pyramid. This is the
foundation/basis of all school learning. This is your regular
classroom instruction. What does Tier 1 look like?
Delivery of the intended curriculum! Standards Based Differentiated
Engaging To Students Uses Formative and Summative Assessments
College and Career Readiness Aligned to CCGPS Universal Screening
These are all best practices and expectations. We are all
sharpening our tools in this area. Your instructional coach is here
to support you in Tier 1. Reflection #1: What other Tier 1
strategies would you use. **Intervention specialist will add them
to the premade poster. The poster will hang in the office/room of
the intervention specialist to be added to and/or as a reminder.
What is Tier 2? Tier 2 is defined as small group instruction that
relies on research- based interventions. Tier 2 has three
characteristics that distinguish itfrom Tier 1 instruction: The
goal of Tier 2 is to remediate academic skill deficits so
studentswill be successful in the Tier 1 program without support.
It is research (evidence)-based It consists of small-group
instruction It involves a clearly articulated intervention
implemented withfidelity If a student is not successful in Tier 1,
even with the best efforts. They should be moved to Tier 2.
Reminder about Tier 2 Interventions
In Addition to Tier 1! For small groups of students Focus on Gaps
Are delivered at the Instructional Level of theStudents (not Grade
Level!) Needs that should be addressed within the next 4-9weeks.
Students should not receive more than 1 mathintervention or more
that 1 reading intervention at atime. Data is collected on a
regular basis to determine ifan intervention should be continued,
altered orreplaced Who, When, Where, How??? Which Students
When/Where How Often Who
All students within the school or grade band who need help with
reading fluency may be grouped together. *Students should be
grouped based on instructional need, not necessarily by grade
level, teacher, etc. *Remember, can not be in place of instruction!
Before school Extended Learning times Built in RTI block Lunch and
Learn After School Programs EIP/REP *Remember, the aforementioned
places and times are NOT interventions!The intervention is what is
provided during these times *Best Practice Tier 2 interventions
occur at least twice per week for at least min. It must be
consistent. ie: Every Monday 9-9:30 Every day at 10am for 20 min
Every Mon, Wed, Fri from 2:30-3:00 *However, data depends on
frequency of intervention. If intervention only occurs once a week
then PM every month.If daily, may need to PM every week. Classroom
teacher *Often, schools will designate specific teachers with the
ability to assist students with a specific need. *If classroom
teacher, be sure he/she focuses on the instructional need versus
re-teaching the intended curriculum. Reflection #2. Lets look at
this table that discusses Tier 2. Think about our school what do we
need to work on? How can we improve our Tier 2 process? Reflection
#3 Reflection #3 How does Tier 2 instruction differ from Tier 1
instruction?
Tier 2 instruction is more explicit, systematic, intensive,
andsupportive with struggling learners receiving more
instructionaltime (e.g., an additional 30 minutes) than just
regular Tier 1classroom reading instruction. Tier 2 is conducted
with small, same-ability groups within oroutside the classroom
setting. Tier 2 instruction involves frequent progress monitoring
to trackstudent progress and inform instruction. During lessons,
monitor students understanding and mastery oftargeted
objectives/standards Provide additional support.DONT WAIT (Make
adaptations toTier 2 lessons) Progress Monitoring Valid and
Reliable Instrument
Beginning at Tier 2, All Interventions must be Formally Assessed
Used to determine the effectiveness of intervention Progress is
measured regularly Rates of improvement or cut scores are
identified Sensitive to small increments of growth The purpose of a
Progress Monitoring Assessment is to DetermineIntervention
Effectiveness. Progress monitoring examines student growth over
time on aspecific concept All teachers monitor the progress of
their students on a daily basisthrough formal and informal
assessment.intervention progressmonitoring is the same idea, but
must be separate from classassessments. Reflection #4: We will take
this time to look at student data. I will provide each group of
teachers with data for a student. Some data will match and some
wont (maybe high grades, low test scores, and low progress
monitoring or any derivative of this). I will use this time to show
why progress monitoring should be done with fidelity. Inaccurate
data can lead to a student who needs services not being evaluated
or receiving special education services, even if they need it. The
consequence is they remain in regular education and wreak havoc on
your classroom, because they are not receiving the services they
need. Progress Monitoring Non-Examples: Examples:
Weekly 1 minute fluencychecks Bi-weekly 2-5 minute digitfluency
checks A short assessment oncomprehension every 2weeks to determine
if theintervention is working. Non-Examples: Chapter Tests Quizzes
What to use for PM EASY CBM, Intervention Central, Etc. 16 How to
Know if an Intervention is Working
How do you know that an intervention needs to be changed
orreplaced? A lack of progress on PM assessments will let us know
(this could takeweeks!) Obvious that the wrong instructional level
was used How can an intervention be changed? More Time More
Frequent Different grade level Before deciding if an intervention
should be changed or simplyreplaced with a different intervention,
ask yourself thesequestions. Is progress being made? Would a
different intervention help make progress faster? Tier 3 In
addition to Tier 1 and Tier 2
Formal and more frequent progress monitoring SST (STUDENT SUPPORT
TEAM) DRIVEN LEARNING If a student is not successful at Tier 2
after receiving Tier 2 interventions for a reasonable amount of
time. They will them move to Tier 3, which is a more intense dose
of interventions. Tier 3 - Interventions Common attributes of Tier
3 Interventions
In addition to Tiers 1 and 2 For a small, focused group of students
Specific area of need must be determined Interventions must be
Research-Based Interventions must relate to the specific area of
need Data is collected on a regular basis to determine if an
intervention should be continued, altered or replaced Rate of
progress data is required Tier 3 interventions are in addition to
(not instead of Tiers 1 and 2). Interventions at Tier 3 must follow
the same expectations as all interventions research-based, aligned
to area of need, progress monitoring data collected, etc. Tier 3 -
Interventions The primary differences between Tier 2 and Tier
3Interventions are that Tier 3 interventions need: More time (The
intervention may last for minutes insteadof 20 30 minutes) More
frequency (may conduct intervention 4 days a weekinstead of 2 days
per week) More focus (may only work with 1-5 students) More
monitoring As you can see - intensity is the primary distinction
between interventions at Tier 2 and Tier 3 What does Tier 3
Intervention look like?
Tier 3 intervention is the next step for students with extreme
reading, mathand/or behavior difficulties who are not successful in
Tiers 1 and 2.It is moreintensive and designed to accelerate
closing their performance gaps. These students receive ideally 90
minutes of Tier 1 instruction, plus the moreintensive Tier 3
intervention (ideally 30 plus minutes). Repeated opportunities for
practice and review Additional correction and feedback Increased
time on task Drill repetition and practice review Tasks broken down
into smaller steps Learning made visible Prompts and cues
Reflection #5: Lets look at an intervention folder. ***Intervention
specialist will walk through the folders. Interventions Tier One
Tier Two Tier Three Interventions
(Must be research-based) Cannot replace instruction In addition to
instruction or support given to ALL students In addition to Tier 1
and 2 Based on screener data. Concepts or skills needed by most
students Intervention must relate to specific area of need Focus
For ALL students For Small Groups of Students(3-5 students) For
small, focused group of students(1-5 students) Frequency/ Time
Quick, targeted, presented Just in time 1 day a week Provided in a
Just-in Time timeframe 2 days a week / 20-30min 4 days a week
/30-45 min Progress Monitoring Formatively Assess Data is collected
on a regular basis to determine if intervention should be
continued, altered or replaced *Beginning at Tier 2, all
interventions must be formally assessed. Meetings Tier 2 Updates
(Meetings) Tier 3 Meetings
Be knowledgeable about intervention progress Meet with intervention
specialist about every 4 weeks to update progress Be able to
provide documentation if requested Communicate with parent to
notify of progress Input all information into Infinite Campus Bring
items from the teacher checklist to the meeting Ensure all progress
monitoring is up to date Check yourto receive meeting dates and
times Talk a little about how Tier 2 updates/meetings will look. We
all know these students
Now, lets talk a little about behavior. We all know these kids in
the pictures. They have the same actions, but different faces and
different names. These are the students that make you do this when
you find out theyre in your class. Behavior Interventions
Go through the same steps as academicinterventions Try to focus on
positive behaviors. We want toTEACH students proper and positive
behaviors. If Tier 1 behavior systems aren't working,
theintervention specialist with provide you with a tier
2intervention If Tier 2 is ineffective the student will receive
Tier 3support We have to do our due diligence to ensure studentis
unable to control behavior. We cant SST studentsbecause they are
hard to deal with. Well have no fear behavior interventions are
here. Reflection #6: As a Tier 1 focus, all classrooms should have
some type of behavior system. This system should be used
consistently and should focus on positive behaviors. Share
