We can, whenever we choose, successfully teach all children whose schooling is of interest to us. We already know more than we need to do that. Whether or not we do it must finally depend on how we feel about the fact that we
haven’t so far.

A mistake we often make in education is to plan the curriculum materials very carefully, arrange all the instructional materials wall to wall, open the doors of the school, and then find to our dismay that they’ve sent us the wrong kids.

Response to InterventionRtI is the practice of (1) providing high-
quality instruction/intervention matched to student needs and (2) using learning rate over time and level of performance to (3) make important educational decisions.
(Batsche, et al., 2005)
Problem-solving is the process that is used to develop effective instruction/interventions.

What We Need for Education Reform
“Response to Intervention” (RTI) . . . a way of screening children, early in their schooling, that can help schools and educators identify those who may not be responding to instruction – and thus may be at risk for school failure. The technique allows schools, on a school-wide basis, to provide any student more intensive support–and monitor their progress – than may be typically available in every classroom.

LEARN Act and RTI
• LEARN Act is the literacy foundation of ESEA
• RTI Language in the LEARN Act is called “Multi-Tier System of Supports
• Multi-Tier System of SupportsThe term ‘‘multi-tier system of supports’’ means a comprehensive system of differentiated supports that includes evidence-based instruction, universal screening, progress monitoring, formative assessment, and research-based interventions matched to student needs, and educational decision making using student outcome data.
![Page 11: Implementing Response to Intervention District Wide: Critical Elements and Lessons Learned CASE Winter Conference February, 2011 Dr. George M. Batsche](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e385503460f94b287c2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A Blueprint for Reform-2010• "Instead of labeling failures, we will reward success.
Instead of a single snapshot, we will recognize progress and growth. And instead of investing in the status quo, we must reform our schools to accelerate student achievement, close achievement gaps..." (Forward)
• ”…districts will have fewer restrictions on blending funds from different categories with less red tape." (Page 6)
• ”A commitment to...Meeting the needs of students with disabilities throughout ESEA and through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act." )Page 19)
![Page 12: Implementing Response to Intervention District Wide: Critical Elements and Lessons Learned CASE Winter Conference February, 2011 Dr. George M. Batsche](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e385503460f94b287c2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Shifts in Practice . . . • Focus on intervention not placement
• Use assessment to identify effective interventions
• Base intervention intensity on student need rather than label or diagnosis
• Make decisions based on student outcomes
• Apply Problem Solving/RtI fluidly
• Every Ed
![Page 13: Implementing Response to Intervention District Wide: Critical Elements and Lessons Learned CASE Winter Conference February, 2011 Dr. George M. Batsche](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e385503460f94b287c2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
To stay in the game and improve results, shift thinking from
• Procedural Concerns to Instructional Focus
• Reliance on Formulas and Checklists to Systematic Problem-solving
• Territorial Silos to Blended Expertise
• Label-seeking to Instructional Solution-seeking
• Comfortable Safety to Sensible Solutions
• “Testing” to Instructionally Relevant Assessment
• Categories to Whole Child as a General Education Student, regardless of educational needs

Consensus Building: A Shift in Thinking
The central question is not: “What about the students is causing the
performance discrepancy?” but
“What about the interaction of the curriculum, instruction, learners and learning environment
should be altered so that the students will learn?”
This shift alters everything else

Key Points• Unit of implementation is the building level.• Implementation process takes 4-6 years.• Implementation progress must be monitored • Must be guided by data indicating
implementation level and integrity• Must be supported by professional
development and technical assistance• Driven by a strategic plan• It is a journey, not a sprint

RtI: Framing Issues and Key Concepts
• Academic Engaged Time (AET) is the best predictor of student achievement– 330 minutes in a day, 1650 in a week and 56,700 in a
year– This is the “currency” of instruction/intervention– Its what we have to spend on students– How we use it determines student outcomes.
• MOST students who are behind will respond positively to additional CORE instruction. – Schools have more staff qualified to deliver core
instruction than specialized instruction.– Issue is how to schedule in such a way as to provide
more exposure to core.
![Page 24: Implementing Response to Intervention District Wide: Critical Elements and Lessons Learned CASE Winter Conference February, 2011 Dr. George M. Batsche](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e385503460f94b287c2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
RtI: Framing Issues and Key Concepts
![Page 25: Implementing Response to Intervention District Wide: Critical Elements and Lessons Learned CASE Winter Conference February, 2011 Dr. George M. Batsche](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e385503460f94b287c2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
RtI: 4 Priorities1. High Performing: Identify students at or
above benchmark1. Where do we want them to be?2. Set high performing goals3. Analyze strategies to achieve goals4. Determine authentic assessments5. Student involvement in goal setting and self-
monitoring
![Page 26: Implementing Response to Intervention District Wide: Critical Elements and Lessons Learned CASE Winter Conference February, 2011 Dr. George M. Batsche](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e385503460f94b287c2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
RtI: 4 Priorities2. Prevention: Identify students at-risk for
literacy failure BEFORE they actually fail.Kindergarten screening, intervention and
progress monitoring is key.No excuse for not identifying ALL at-risk
students by November of the kindergarten year.
This strategy prevents the GAP.Managing GAPs is more expensive and less
likely to be successful.
![Page 27: Implementing Response to Intervention District Wide: Critical Elements and Lessons Learned CASE Winter Conference February, 2011 Dr. George M. Batsche](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e385503460f94b287c2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
RtI: 4 Priorities3. Early Intervention
Purpose here is the manage the GAP. Students who are more that 2 years behind
have a 10% chance, or less, or catching up. Benchmark, progress monitoring data,
district-wide assessments are used to identify students that have a gap of 2 years or less.
Students bumping up against the 2 year level receive the most intensive services.
This more costly and requires more specialized instruction/personnel
![Page 28: Implementing Response to Intervention District Wide: Critical Elements and Lessons Learned CASE Winter Conference February, 2011 Dr. George M. Batsche](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e385503460f94b287c2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
RtI: 4 Priorities4. Intensive Intervention
Reserved for those students who have a GAP of more than 2 years and the rate of growth to close the GAP is unrealistic. Too much growth—too little time remaining.
Problem-solving is used to develop instructional priorities.
This is truly a case of “you cannot do something different the same way.”
This is the most costly, staff intensive and least likely to result in goal attainment

Strengths and Barriers• STRENGTHS
– Strong state support– Supporting regulations– Adequate resources– Cross-Discipline
collaboration– District understanding
of the “reality” of implementing RtI
– Pilot district and statewide direct training completed
– Strong program evaluation model with excellent data
• BARRIERS– Collateral effects of a
“top down” approach– District Leadership
Teams focused on school implementation without adequate district support
– District Leadership teams very VARIABLE in their skills/understanding of how to scale up at the district level
– Focus on EBD/SLD eligibility challenges system-wide (rather than sped) implementation

What do we know about systems change?
Communicate a clear and common vision
Planned and pursued in a systematic manner over time
One size does NOT fit all
Professional development is critical
Outcome evaluation is critical

Early Warning Systems DataTargeted School Example
52.8% (210) of last year's 9th graders are off-track for graduation• 19% (75) are off-track due to failed FCAT, Credits and
GPA• 13% (52) of exiting 9th graders failed 3 or more
courseso Almost all of these students are part of the lowest 25%o Many of these students will count in the total graduation and
at-risk graduation rateso These students have less than a 15% chance of graduating
without significant intervention
Course Failures• Algebra 1 - 43.5%• English 1 - 45%• Pre-Algebra I Remedial Class-63% fail Algebra I
