EDTE J731-Social Presentation
1.
2. Definition of Response To Intervention (RTI)
Essential Components of RTI
Benefits of RTI for students, parents, and
teachers
Ways in which RTI could be implemented into
CBJ Elementary School
3. “With RTI, schools identify students at risk for
poor learning outcomes, monitor student
progress, provide evidence-based
interventions and adjust the intensity and
nature of those interventions depending on a
student’s responsiveness, and identify
students with learning disabilities or other
disabilities.” (NCRTI, 2010)
4. “Ensures that all students receive high-quality
instruction in the general education
classroom” (Doug Fuchs)
“Promotes immediate intervention as soon as
students' reading problems are revealed”
(Fuchs)
“Curtails the development of substantial
reading difficulties” (Fuchs)
“Reduces inappropriate referrals for and
placements in special education” (Fuchs)
5. According to Fuchs (Fuchs et al., 2008):
Universal testing three times a year for all
students in grades Kindergarten-Fourth
Students that are at risk for reading failure
are identified for intervention
Combination of data-based procedures and
curriculum-based measurements will be used
to carefully monitor the progress of students
6. The primary benefit for students, according
to the Council For Exceptional Children, is
that they don’t have to “wait to fail” to receive
support, as they did in the discrepancy model
that compares achievement with IQ scores.
7. According to the Samantha Clever of the NEA,
“parents should be aware of the RTI plan and
the process.” (Clever April 2009) As we work
with you, we will discuss the plan(s), the
assessment tools we’ll be using, the
interventions we’ll be using with your
student, and the results.
8. Teachers are able to identify the Tiers that
their students are in (i.e. Tier 1, 2, or 3) and
can determine any additional intervention(s)
that each student may need
Allows teachers to plan for and provide
instruction that will help improve students’
educational skills at an early age
9. Kindergarten: Letter-sound fluency (Smith
and Tyler p.171)
Grade 1: Word identification fluency; word
recognition on a timed test (Smith and Tyler
p.171)
Grade 2-3: Passage reading; reading a
paragraph aloud (Smith and Tyler p.171)
Grade 4: Maze fluency; filling in missing
words when reading a passage (Smith and
Tyler p.171)

not worry about anything.”
