Step-by-Step RTI Instructions for Teachers

Step 1: Review all student data Create Watch List. Prioritize students based on level of need. Provide Tier I differentiated instruction with appropriate progress monitoring.

Step 2: When a student is NOT making adequate progress toward benchmark, even with effective differentiated Tier I instruction, additional review is expected. If the majority of students are not making adequate progress a review of the Tier I instruction being offered is required. 1. Review student data ? including historical data. 2. Schedule parent conference: face-to-face preferred. 3. Ask for parental input. 4. Differentiate instruction with documentation for a minimum of six weeks, including appropriate progress monitoring.

Follow-up with parent, and review the student's progress. If the student is not making progress toward benchmark, continue or modify the intervention;

or request an RTI meeting/review. If you request an RTI meeting, you MUST complete the RTI Referral Form BEFORE the meeting can occur. You should also bring any data that you have collected. THIS IS NOT A FOLDER OF MISCELLANEOUS STUDENT WORKBOOK PAGES. Example: If you are targeting vocabulary, you could provide the last five vocabulary grades (percent correct). You should also bring an example of how you are progress monitoring this skill.

From this point forward the teacher is supported and the intervention is monitored by the RTI Team.

Step 3: RTI Team Review ? The parent must be invited to all RTI meetings after the initial meeting. Create Tier II Plan. Schedule time to review student progress (6-8 weeks) Implement and Progress Monitor Tier II Plan. Meet to review data and determine student's response to intervention. If necessary, move to Step 4. The student may remain at Tier II indefinitely if the interventions are serving to close the student's achievement gap.

Step 4: Create Tier III Plan The parent must be invited to/informed of all RTI meetings. Review student data. Request additional diagnostic information if needed. Schedule time to review student progress (6-8 weeks) Implement and Progress Monitor Tier III Plan. The parent must be involved. Meet to review data and determine student's response to intervention.
