Why We’re Here...A Few Letters with Huge Implications
(6) SPECIFIC LEARNING DISABILITIES-
(A) IN GENERAL- Notwithstanding section 607(b), when determining whether a child has a specific learning disability as defined in section 602, the local educational agency shall not be required to take into consideration whether the child has a severe discrepancy between achievement and intellectual ability in oral expression, listening comprehension, written expression, basic reading skill, reading comprehension, mathematical calculation, or mathematical reasoning.
(B) ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY- In determining whether a child has a specific learning disability, a local educational agency may use a process which determines if a child responds to scientific, research-based intervention as a part of the evaluation procedures in paragraphs (2) and (3).

Look..Why Don’t You Give Yourself Up Quietly or This Could Turn Into a Feeding Frenzy and No One Wants That!

We Begin With a Question:
How Serious Are We About Improving Service Delivery for All Students at the Secondary Level?

I’m Presuming We’re Here to
Chase Windmills:
Seriously Attempting to Build and Sustain a Secondary
Problem-Solving Service Delivery System

Big Ideas About Today’s Presentation
1. In a Perfect World, We Shouldn’t Have “RTI” (as an eligibility process) at the Secondary Level
2. We’re Shifting Mind Sets: Every Problem Learning (or Behaving) Becomes a Special Education Problem
3. We’re Shifting“Interventions” Focus from Reactive, Punitive, and/or Restrictive to Proactive, Preventative, Inclusive
4. We’re Aligning Delivery System to Educational Needs5. We’re Increasing the Quality of Teaching, Tools, and
Support Across 3-Tiers Instead of Moving the Problem6. We Have the Tools and We Have Experience; But There
is a Gap

These are interesting and challenging times for anyone whose professional
responsibilities are related in any way to literacy outcomes among school children. For, in spite of all our new
knowledge about reading and reading instruction, there is a wide-spread
concern that public Education is not as effective as it should be in teaching all children to read.

Text Characteristics

Publius Servillius Vatia Isauricus was a quiet man. Loyalty ran in the family; his father, a great plebian aristocrat, had cleaved to Sulla and remained one of Sulla’s greatest supporters until that difficult, contrary man died. But because the father was a quiet man, he adjusted to life in a post-Sullan Rome with grace and some style, did not lose the massive clout which an old name and a huge fortune brought with it. Probably seeing something of Sulla in Caesar, the father before his death had liked him; the son simply carried on the family tradition. He had been a praetor in the year Appius Claudius Censor and Ahenobarbus were consuls, and had soothed boni fears by prosecuting one of Caesar’s legates. Not an aberration but a deliberate ploy; Gaius Messius was not important to Caesar.
Let’s Read
22
• Who was Publius Serviliius Vatia Isauricus and why was he so important to Caesar?
• Who was his father?
• What was it he might have seen in Caesar that reminded him of Sulla?
• How long ago had he been praetor?
• Why might his father have lost his clout and fortune after Sulla?
• Why was it important to soothe the boni’s fears?

Sum of Squares and Cross Products
In the univariate analysis of variance, the total sum of squares of the dependent variable is partitioned into two components: pooled within-groups sum of squares and between-groups sum of squares. With multiple dependent variables it is, of course, possible to calculate the within and between sums of squares for each of them. In addition, the total sum of cross products between any two variables can be partitioned into pooled within-groups sum of products and between-groups sum of products.

The Problem
28
WE Must Be Able to Speak Our Mind About What We’ve Seen
and Heard
29
• High Expectations for Student Achievement--And Always Increasing
• Students w Moderate to Severe Educational and/or Behavioral Needs--Big Prerequisite Skill Deficits
• Students with a Long History of Failure--Poor Motivation and Lots of Escape Driven Behavior
• General Education Teachers with Limited Pedagogical and Behavior Support Skill and Poorly Designed-If Any--Instructional Materials
• Students’ Programs Being Driven by Graduation Requirements Rather Than Instructional Needs
What’s Broken?Secondary Education for Many Students
30
• Never Ending Referrals for Special Education--In Some Ways, There Shouldn’t Be RTI at the Secondary Level
• Lots of 504 Plans-A Cry for Required Range of Teaching Skills
• General Education “Representatives” at Team Meetings--Turned Off and Not Meaningfully Required
• School Psychologists Who Do Mostly Re-Evaluations and Initial Referrals
Signs?Secondary Education for Many Students
31
• People Who Work at Secondary Care
• Secondary Personnel Know Things Are Broken
• Secondary Personnel Know They Weren’t Prepared to Meet the Needs of Diverse Students
• Secondary Personnel Are Eager to Learn, IF LEARNING IS SUPPORTED
• We Have a Better Model
• We Can Match Student Programs with their Needs Better
• We Have Better Tools and Skills
What’s the Good News?
32
Our Goals
1. Describe a Heuristic for Multi-Tiered Service Delivery for Middle Schools and High Schools to Meet the Academic and Socioemotional-Behavioral Needs
2. Provide Illustrations of Effective Reading Assessment for 1. Universal Screening, 2. Problem Identification3. Progress Monitoring in Reading Intervention
3. Provide Illustrations of Effective Assessment and Intervention Tools Necessary for
1. Basic Reading Skills2. Success in Content Area Classes3. Behavioral Support
4. Give You Strategies for Implementation33
Step 1:
Identify Misunderstandings
34
What IS NOT “RTI:” It’s Not Your Father’s Oldsmobile
1. It’s Not About SE Eligibility with a New Label (e.g., Pre-Referral Intervention, Old Team-New Name)
2. 1. It’s Not About SE “Business as Usual” with Programs That Meet the Needs of Adults More Than Students
3. Expecting GE Teachers to Meet the Needs of ALL Students (180 Students-180 Different Interventions)
35
Step 2:
Ensure Understandings
36
Theme in IDEA Law and Regulations: High Quality Research-Based
Instruction(b) For a child suspected of having a specific learning disability, the group must consider, as part of the evaluation described in §§300.304 through 300.306, data that demonstrates that--
(1) Prior to, or as a part of the referral process, the child wasprovided appropriate high-quality, research-based instruction in regular education settings, consistent with section 1111(b)(8)(D) and (E) of the ESEA, including that the instruction was delivered by qualified personnel; and
Only for some students and only when SE eligibility is of concern?
ALL STUDENTS Should Be Entitled to Appropriate, HIgh Quality, Research-Based Instruction (in Reading, Math and Biology)
37
More Careful Attention to Attempts to Provide Quality Instruction
ALL STUDENTS’ Progress Should Have Appropriate Instruction and Have Progress Monitored FORMALLY Before Referral.... It’s Just
Plain Good Practice for Everyone
To ensure that underachievement in a child suspected of having a specific learning disability is not due to lack of appropriate instruction in reading or math, the group must consider, as part of the evaluation described in 34 CFR 300.304 through 300.306:
• Data that demonstrate that prior to, or as a part of, the referral process, the child was provided appropriate instruction in regular education settings, delivered by qualified personnel; and
• Data-based documentation of repeated assessments of achievement at reasonable intervals, reflecting formal assessment of student progress during instruction, which was provided to the child’s parents.

45
The Secondary Path
1. Make a Commitment to Improve General Education Content Teaching Skills a Continuous Staff Development Target
2. Match SE Interventions to Educational Need
3. Ensure Tier 3 SE Programs are Maximally Powerful (and Worth It) with Scientifically Based Progress Monitoring (e.g., CBM)
4. Institute Effective Behavior Support Schoolwide, but also Classroom and Individual Behavior Support Plans 5. Build Effective Scientifically Based Tier 2 Remedial Reading and Behavior Programs
5. Make Reading Volume a Priority for All Students to Encourage Wide Reading
6. Use CBM As Scientifically Based Universal Screener for Grade 5 and 6 (and Maybe Higher...Screen Again at Grade 9)
6. Build Capacity for “Mainstream Consultation Agreements” to Support Students
7. Shift Related Services Roles to Minimal Testing and Maximum Consultation and Coaching Support

You Can’t Provide Support to GE Teachers if You’re Only Providing Direct Service (or Testing for Eligibility or 3-Year Re-evaluations)
You Get Time by…

- Gaining Administrative Support from SE Directors and Principals
But Don’t Hinge Change on Administrative Support Alone or At the Beginning
