Response to Intervention- It’s a belief system

Do we believe that we can ensure high levels of learning for ALL students?

•High school + plus

•Grade-level or better

- Mike Mattos & Austin Buffum

JESD Goal

To create a systematic process that ensures every child receives the additional time and support needed to learn at high levels

All students receive CORE General Education Instruction!It is not core OR intervention…

It is:Core

Resources

“At its core, RTI is about creating a collective response when students need additional support, rather than leaving this response up to each individual teacher. This process is predicated on the staff having the time necessary to work together.”

MTSS: Collaborative Teacher Teams

Simplifying RTI: Four Essential Guiding PrincipalsAustin Buffum, Mike Mattos and Chris Weber

Teams are comprised of educators who share curriculum and thus take collective responsibility for students learning their common essential learning outcomes.

Responsibilities include:◦ Provide effective Tier I core instruction

◦ Assess student learning and the effectiveness of instruction

◦ Identify students in need of additional time and support

◦ Take primary responsibility for Tier 2 supplemental interventions for students

◦ Clearly defined essential student learning outcomes

MTSS: Collaborative Teacher Teams

Content Teams

Teams are comprised of representatives from collaborative teacher teams, administration, and support staff including intervention staff (LC, TIG, etc).

Responsibilities include:◦ Determine specific learning needs of students in need of intensive

support

◦ Diagnose the cause(s) of student’s struggles in Tier 1 and 2

◦ Determine most appropriate intervention(s) to address student’s needs

◦ Frequently monitor student’s progress to see if interventions are achieving desired outcomes

◦ Revise interventions when not achieving desired outcomes

Step 3

• Establish Data Collection Method

Step 4

• Teach Behaviors & Expectations School-wide

Why MTSS/RTI/PBIS? To decrease levels of disruptiveness, rates of

office referrals, and suspensions To improve school climate, safety, and order To increase instructional time To increase administrative time for purposes

other than to manage discipline problems To enhance the overall operation and

performance of the school To more effectively partner with parents and the
