First, why add tech to you RTI model?
Recovery?
Allocation of Resources?
More efficient use of student data?
Meeting
student
needs?
Stronger
reinforcement?
Icebreaker Poll
Turning the “Why” into a Solid Model
Chances are your school/classroom’s “why” is actually a combination of goals, all leading toward meeting student learning needs. However, to make that “why” actionable, you’ll need a solid plan from top-to-bottom.
How do we turn that “Why” into a concrete and effective digital-based RTI model?
What is the initial strategy?
Ask the following of your RTI model:
• What are the assessment methods (offline, online, both)?
• What is your universal screening method?
• How are at risk students identified and where/how will instruction take place?
• What is the desired student-to-teacher ratio for each tier? How is this achieved? Can technology assist the ratio?
What are the Exit Criteria/Goals?
Determine set criteria and goals:
• What are the goals in terms of student achievement and progress?
• When will a student be moved up a tier?
• What justifies returning a student to a lower tier?
• How will student movement between tiers be executed?
Poll Question #2
What methods do you u-lize to gain a visual and data-‐based representa-on of each -er and the progress of each -er? *Chat your response in via the “ques2on” sec2on*
How do we achieve this goal?
In terms of a math classroom, you’ll need 3 pieces in place: 1. Diverse formative and summative
Assessment techniques
2. The ability to separate (and assign learning to) each tier
3. Easy-to-understand and easy-to-use progress monitoring measures
Formative and Summative
The key to knowing a student’s mastery level is to use formative and summative tools that both scaffold math learning and return actionable student progress data.
Formative-to-summative (and back)
Ability to Separate Students into Tiers
The formative and summative assessment efforts provide each educator the info they need to:
• Establish tiers
• Provide needed reinforcement/enrichment

As your instruction efforts start to take shape, you will see student progress both in the classroom and right on the screen!
Actionable Student Progress Data
Online and offline learning activities provide great insight into a student’s math understanding and the next (pre-selected or teacher-directed) steps required for each individual student.
Results create next steps to progress
Quick Recap
In terms of a math classroom, you’ll need these 3 pieces in place: 1. Diverse formative and summative
Assessment techniques
2. The ability to visually separate (and assign learning to) each tier
3. Easy-to-understand and easy-to-use progress monitoring measures
