Universal Screening

Universal Screener

Reading Writing Math

Behavior Universal Screener: A brief assessment, 5-20 minutes to administer Given 3-4 times per year Valid, reliable, and evidenced based ALL students are given this assessment Identifies students who are at-risk of academic failure

o Use a secondary screener to prevent false positives saves $ Purpose: Elementary: Identify students at risk for underachievement Secondary: Identify students at risk for not completing school in 4 years

Screening Example: Screening is done to identify individuals with small problems that will likely lead to larger problems without intervention. Medical: Automotive:

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is it? A: A brief assessment, 5-20 minutes to administer. Given 3-4 times per a year to all students. It is valid, reliable, and evidenced based, and identifies students who are at-risk for academic failure. Q: When do I use it? A: 3-4 times per year. Suggested at week one of each quarter to identify academic and behavioral at-risk students early. Q: Why do I need it? A: A universal screener is akin to a doctor checking your vitals at the yearly check-up. It is a way to predict and support academic failure before it happens and the achievement gap widens. Q: Where can I find information on academic Universal Screeners? A: http://www.rti4success.org/screeningTools “The National Center on Response to Intervention is housed at the American Institutes for Research and works in conjunction with researchers from Vanderbilt University and the University of Kansas. It is funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). The Center’s mission is to provide technical assistance to states and districts and build the capacity of states to assist districts in implementing proven models for RTI. ” Q: Can I use HSA or Benchmark information as a Universal Screener? A: Is it brief 5-20 minutes? Can it be given 3-4 times per year to screen for academic failure? Does every student take it? If all of the answers are yes, then you can definitely use HSA and Benchmark assessments as a Universal Screener. If you find that you cannot use HSA or benchmark as a universal screener, you might find that they are excellent secondary screeners. Secondary screeners are assessments tools that are used to validate the reliability of the first screener. For example: Johnny takes a universal screener but was up all night so he performs poorly. A secondary screener is administered and Johnny does well. The secondary screener let the school know that Johnny is not at risk for academic failure and there-fore saved costly resources (time and money) for students who are really at-risk for academic failure.

Q:Do I need a Universal Screener? A: If you do not have one on your campus and you want to implement RTI, yes. Universal Screen-ers assist in eliminating last minute remediation, and provide support for students before they “fail”. Q: Where can I find a Universal Screener for behavior? A: Early Warning Trigger Systems collect data for key at-risk behaviors such as attendance, failures in core classes, referrals, pregnancy, disability, etc. A scale is then created, and those at the top of the scale are screened and given a behavioral intervention. These can be created with excel at the school level. Q: According to “The National Center on Response to Intervention” what Math Universal Screening Tools have the highest evidence base? A: Free:

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is it? A: Repeated measurement of academic performance to inform instruction of individual students in general and special education classes. Estimates the rate of improvement after the intervention is implemented. Identifies students who are not making adequate progress (responding to the inter-vention). Compares the efficacy of different forms of instruction to design more effective, individual-ized instruction. Q: When do I use it? A: After a Universal screener has been administered and the extended data team has determined which scientifically researched based/ evidenced based intervention will be used, then a progress monitor is chosen and implemented for at least 5-6 weeks. Q: Why do I need it? A: When you know a student is at-risk for academic failure, and an intervention is implemented, two things must be known about the intervention: 1. That it is implemented with fidelity 2. The student is responding to it. Progress monitoring is a tools to ensure that both are happening. Q: Where can I find information on Progress Monitoring Tools? A: http://www.rti4success.org/progressMonitoringTools “The National Center on Response to Intervention is housed at the American Institutes for Research and works in conjunction with researchers from Vanderbilt University and the University of Kansas. It is funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). The Center’s mission is to provide technical assistance to states and districts and build the capacity of states to assist districts in implementing proven models for RTI. ” Q: What does it look like in Tier 1 (General Education), Tier 2, and Tier 3? A: Tier 1 Progress monitoring is happening at least monthly. A: Tier 2 Progress Monitoring is happening every other week. A: Tier 3 Progress Monitoring is happening weekly.

Q: What is a cut score? A: The cut score is the line that is drawn which determines when a student is suspected to be at-risk. For example most state exams have a cut score of 70%. Anything below 70% is failing. What are probes? A: Short timed assessments, quick to administer and easy to score, taken from local curriculum.

Interventions.

Data Team Process Five steps to identify and evaluate interventions:

1. Collect and Chart Data 2. Analyze Strengths and Obstacles 3. Establish Goals 4. Select Instructional Strategies 5. Determine Results Indicators

Collecting and Charting Data

• Identify what common assessments will be analyzed. • Generate guiding questions specific to the data. • Analyze and organize data prior to meeting. • Process for sharing and synthesizing data identified. • Set expectations for charting data. • Determine a place for charting the data.

Analyze Strengths and Concerns

• Each data team member shares a summary of their classes’ performance on assessment. – What was our class or grade level goal? – How close are we to our goal? – What percentage of students met the goal? – Does the intervention need to address the whole class? – If class goal met, who are the students who did not reach the goal? – What are the strengths and the obstacles for these students?

Establishing Goals

• Specific Skills Focused • Measureable • Achievable • Realistic • Timely

Root Cause

The “Five-Whys” is useful because it helps to identify the root cause of a problem; determines the relationship between different root causes of a problem and is easy to complete without statistical analysis.

The “Five-Whys” are particularly useful in situations that involve human factors or interactions. A team might need more or less than five whys to tunnel down to the root cause of a problem.

Data Collection

September and October eValuate Data

Analyze Strengths

and Obstacles

What is our goal? 85% of students are meeting the targeted benchmarks How close are we to our goal? Overall we are within 5% of our goal How can we move closer to attaining the goal? Embed into future lessons, practice in upcoming bellowrk, utilize EdisonLearnings Focus Fives, and implement target skills within intervention block daily. What are the strengths and the obstacles? Strength: Teachers are all proficient in remediating the targeted skills and have adequate materials to supplement support during intervention blocks. Obstacles: We need to work on connecting the remediation during embedded and intervention times to the core instruction in order for students to generalize the skills learned in order to move from working memory to semantic memory. We will utilize our curriculum coordinator and Edison support personnel to provide feedback during walkthroughs and coaching on how we are connecting skills.

Establish SMART

Goal

○ Specific ○ Measurable ○ Achievable ○ Realistic ○ Timely

All teachers will revisit previously taught benchmarks (LCM, Common Factors, GCF, simplifying factors, ordering decimals, fractions/percents) weekly on “Focus Fridays” during the bell work phase of the lesson cycle.

All intervention teachers will utilize peer tutoring to differentiate targeted skills (LCM, Common Factors, GCF, simplifying factors, ordering decimals, fractions/percents) 4 days a week for 30 minutes a day. Peer tutors will collect progress monitoring data and analyze.

Select Instructional Strategies (Research

Based)

Embed within the core instruction during bellwork utilizing Focus Fives Implement ClassWide Peer Tutoring (EBP) during Intervention block Implement token economy system for on task behavior during intervention

block to increase student engagement as well as student led data collection.

Determine Results Indicator

Teachers will determine if “Focus Fridays” are working during the next eValuate Data Team PLC- 85% proficiency or more.

Teachers and students will analyze peer tutoring data weekly during intervention blocks to chart improvement and movement to next skills. Teachers will bring progress monitoring data to next eValuate Data Team PLC to compare results and collaborate on grade level teacher support.

FOOTNOTES: Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) 8.2 requires holidays that fall on Saturdays to be observed on the preceding Friday and holidays that fall on Sundays to be observed on the following Monday. As of September 2001, these are the legal holidays defined in the HRS to be observed by the State, the State Judiciary, and county governments in Hawaii. Federal government and local banking holidays differ. Public school “breaks” are not included. For State agencies that operate on other than Monday-Friday 7:45 AM to 4:30 PM schedules, also refer to appropriate collective bargaining agreements. Election days are established by the State Constitution. Created 4/23/2012 subject to change.
