the practice of providing high-quality
instruction/intervention matched to student

needs
and
using learning rate over time
and level of performance
to
inform educational decisions

July 2007

IDEA Partnership

What do we mean by RTI?

RTI has two goals:

prevent academic problems and determine students with LD.
2 or more tiers of increasingly intense interventions.
Use a problem solving model or standardized treatment protocol for intervention tiers.
Implementation of a differentiated curriculum with different instructional methods.
Varied duration, frequency, and time of interventions, and
Explicit decision rules for judging learners’ progress.

July 2007 IDEA Partnership Goals of RTI Prevention of academic/behavior problems

July 2007

Goals of RTI

Prevention of academic/behavior problems
Attend to skill gaps

early
Provide interventions/instruction early
Close skill gaps to prevent failure
Determination of eligibility as a student with a specific learning disability
Pattern of inadequate response to interventions may result in referral to special education
Student intervention response data are considered for SLD eligibility

July 2007

IDEA Partnership

What does RTI implementation look like?

Students receive high quality,

research-based instruction by qualified staff in their general education setting.
General education instructors and staff assume an active role in students’ assessment in that curriculum.
School staff conduct universal screening of (a) academics and (b) behavior.
School staff implement specific, research-based interventions to address the student’s difficulties.
Слайд 10

July 2007 IDEA Partnership Other features of RTI Continuous progress monitoring

July 2007

IDEA Partnership

Other features of RTI

Continuous progress monitoring of student performance

occurs (weekly or biweekly).
School staff use progress-monitoring data and decision rules to determine interventions’ effectiveness and needed modifications.
Systematic assessment of the fidelity or integrity with which instruction and interventions are implemented.

Assessment = progress monitoring of student response to specific intervention
Intervention = standard protocol treatment intervention as available from the research; evidence-based intervention as available in the literature

Standard Treatment Protocol Approach To Responsive-to-Intervention

The standard treatment is

for the student to receive a validated, intense intervention
The bad news is that all students receive the same intervention
The good news is that the interventions are well-specified, sequenced with clear outcomes
The interventions are more likely to be delivered with fidelity; training is consistent
Increases the consistency of services; easy to check for implementation

IDEA Partnership

Advantages of RTI Approach

Provides instructional assistance in a timely

fashion (e.g., NOT a wait-to-fail model)
Helps ensure a student’s poor academic performance is not due to poor instruction or inappropriate curriculum
Informs teacher and improves instruction because assessment data are collected and closely linked to interventions

July 2007

IDEA Partnership

Researcher Roundtable on Specific Learning Disabilities

SLD is a valid

concept with converging evidence across indicators and methodologies
SLD are disorders of learning and cognition intrinsic to the individual(s)
Each disorder significantly affects a relatively narrow range of academic and performance outcomes
SLD may occur in combination with other disabling conditions, but are not due primarily to other conditions

Adapted from opening remarks by Lou Danielson, Ph.D., Director, Research to Practice Division, Office of Special Education Programs to the National SEA Conference on SLD Determination, Kansas City, MO, April 19-21, 2006

July 2007

IDEA Partnership

Researcher Roundtable on Response to Intervention

There should be alternate

ways to identify SLD
Response to quality intervention is the most promising method of alternate identification
Can promote effective practices in schools
Can help to close the gap between identification and treatment
RTI should be based on problem solving models that use progress monitoring to gauge the intensity of intervention in relation to the student’s response to intervention

SLD Determination and IDEA 2004 (P.L. 108-446)

New language in

the law:
“…a local education agency may use a process that determines if the child responds to scientific, research-based intervention as a part of the evaluation procedures…”
Sec. 614(b)6B [emphasis added]
In the special education research literature, the process mentioned in this language is generally considered as referring to RTI.
