Title: Understanding Tiers, Interventions and Supports


1
  • Understanding Tiers, Interventions and Supports
  • Presentation Adopted from NESD

2
  • What do we do when students dont learn?
  • Using the Response to Intervention framework will
    create an effective process for all teachers,
    administrators and support personnel to answer
    this question.

3
What is Pyramid Response to Intervention?
  • It is the practice of providing high-quality
    instruction and interventions that match
    student's needs as well as considering students
    learning rate over time and level of performance
    to make important educational decisions.

4
It is
  • RTI is an approach that provides high quality,
    standards-based instruction/intervention that is
    matched to students academic, social-emotional,
    and behavioral needs.

5
It is..
  • a continuum of intervention tiers with increasing
    levels of intensity and duration
  • involves educational decisions that are based on
    data derived from frequent monitoring of student
    performance and rate of learning.

Timely, Directive, Systematic, Flexible Support
  • Using this process allows students to receive
    timely interventions at the first indication that
    they need more time and support.
  • This process should be directive rather than
    invitational, so that the students get the extra
    help they need, consistently and without
    interruption until they are successful.

8
  • Interventions are sequences to build upon each
    other
  • from least to most restrictive
  • from least to most intensive
  • from what happens in every classroom for all
    children to what happens for individual students
    who need highly focused, targeted help.

9
It is not.
  • a program but rather a process for ensuring that
    all students learn.
  • another add on.

10
Three Tiers of Support
Intensive
Interventions focused on
closing the gap. TIER 3
Fewer students
Increasing intensity
Immediate and powerful targeted
interventions systematically applied and
monitored for any students not achieving.
TIER 2
A coherent and viable core curriculum that embeds
ongoing monitoring for all students.
TIER 1
11
Why use this model?
  • This model allows education to move toward a
    systematic, directive, and timely response to all
    children when they dont learn adequately or
    extensively regardless of labels or subgroups.

12
Tier 1
  • Approximately 75-80 of the student population
    will have their educational needs met by Tier 1
    interventions.

13
Tier 1
  • Tier 1 is simply good teaching!
  • Educators respond to learning styles, strengths
    and weaknesses of each of their students.
  • They offer a variety of supports to enable
    students to reach outcomes. This may be as easy
    as additional time to complete work or one on one
    mini lessons.
  • The most important step a school can take to
    improve its core program is differentiating
    instruction.

14
Tier 2
  • This level of the pyramid offers supplemental
    interventions implemented for students whose
    educational needs have not been met by the
    regular program.
  • Small group interventions.
  • 10-15 of the student population will benefit
    from Tier 2 interventions.

15
Tier 3
  • This level of the pyramid is where intensive
    individual interventions are implemented for
    students whose educational needs have not (can
    not?) been met in Tier 1 or Tier 2.
  • 5-10 of the student population will require
    these types of interventions.

An Effective Response to Intervention Pyramid
  • begins with establishing identification,
    placement and monitoring processes.
  • various school division roles (Teacher,
    Administrator, Counselor, Occupational Therapist,
    Educational Psychologist) are involved in these
    processes.
