PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES AND RTI2

2. How will we know they have learned it?
(Universal Screeners and formative assessment)

learning?
(Intervention-Tier 2 and 3)

What worked well last year
Master Schedule• Intervention time built in• Common planning time for teachers (1X week PLC)
Sample Schedule
15
Mistakes we made last year
Too much time during PLC planning for intervention• Best prevention is SOLID Tier 1 Instruction (data team process)
Too little focus on Tier 2 instruction• Lack of fidelity in Tier 2
Too much time spent on benchmarking and progress monitoring• Lost 3 months of intervention—need to streamline
Lack of focus during RTI meetings• Tight agendas
16
PLC Focus
PLC time to be focused on Tier 1 Instruction (not intervention)
Strategic training in the 6 step data team process
Strategic training in Common formative assessments
17
Focus on Tier 2 Instruction
Tier 2 option offered to all buildings (see handout)
Intensive training of Tier 2 teachers began last year
Ensuring SMALL GROUP, intensive instruction
18
Benchmarking and Progress Monitoring
Last year, our interventionists benchmarked the entire school one on one using AIMS
This year, benchmarking will be conducted in the classroom using NWEA (computerized assessment).
Last year, interventionists progress monitored ALL Tier 2 and Tier 3 students (reading and math)
This year, the interventionists are training the Tier 2 teachers to do their own progress monitoring
19
Benchmarking Time
• Last Year
– Kindergarten: 5 minutes per child– 1st grade: 5-7 minutes per child– 2nd-6th: 4 minutes individually; 11 minutes per class– Time to enter EVERY score
• This year
– Reading-50 minutes– Math-50 minutes
» Group administration

Refocusing RTI meetings
Meetings every 4 weeks
Specific Agendas created for the two types of meetings• Post-Benchmark• Monthly Progress monitoring meeting
