RtI and Roles Revisited:Opportunities for School
Psychologists
Ann Casey, Ph.D.
&
Holly Windram, Ph.D.
Objectives for today
• Understand the links between your current skills and roles and those you will need in RtI functioning schools
• Understand that consultation and assessment continue to be highly valued skills, but may look different
• Learn of tools and resources that you can use to help your school in the implementation process
Fundamental Assumptions• All the students are all our responsibility• All students can make progress when given
the amount and kind of support needed• Teaching to the middle doesn’t meet all
students needs.• Therefore, we must use our resources in
new, different and collaborative ways to ensure each student is as successful as possible!

What is RtI?
• RtI is the practice of: 1. Providing high quality instruction/intervention
matched to student needs
2. Using learning rate over time and level of performance to
3. Make important educational decisions.
NASDSE, 2005
3 Components & 3 Tiered System
• RtI is a process comprised of 3 main components:– Evidenced Based Instructional Practices– System of Universal Screening and
Progress Monitoring– Problem Solving as a decision making
system to determine who gets what interventions, when and by whom [all of which are the systems that support RtI]
Why a Pyramid?
Tier 3
Tier 1
Tier 2
An aerial view- emphasizing that all students need a strong foundation in core instruction and that all students are part of the same educational system.
What is not RtI• It’s not a prescription • It’s not a program, curriculum, strategy, or
intervention - some would say this is a paradigm shift
• RtI is a model that requires your school structure & resources be used in ways that improve individual student needs.
• RtI requires 3 components, and a tiered instructional framework, but it’s going to look different in your school than how it looks in mine.
Why does my school need a 3 tiered system?
• Are you satisfied with how all your students are achieving?
• Many schools have had few options for struggling students & have not been ideal methods in preventing failure
• In fact, special education has really been a ‘wait to fail model’
RtI as an Organizing System for Accelerating Achievement
• While RtI was conceived with low achieving students in mind, there is no reason the system can not be used for high achieving students as well
• First and foremost, Response to Intervention is a school improvement model
What happens when you implement an RtI system?

Chisago Lakes High School
• Facilitator of Problem Solving Process• Facilitator of using data for decision-
making• Leadership on research-based instruction• Coaching & support for regular ed. staff • Guidance for a systems viewpoint• Data collection and integrity checks
Minneapolis Public Schools• School Psychologists in MPS do not have
formal roles as previously described - yet they are the ‘keepers’ of the problem solving process– Ensuring problems are well defined and analyzed– That data are collected– And that interventions are changed if progress is
not made rather than immediately going to special ed. evaluation.
– That the system is working - helping people analyze and disaggregate data across the school so that resources are allocated appropriately
What is your role in RtI?
• There are a number of important roles for psychologists. But the key to well functioning RtI systems is collaboration among and between various roles groups.
• We have strengths that we need to capitalize on for the benefit of the system.
Evidence Based Practices
• The implementation of a tiered instructional delivery system rests upon the use of EBP at all levels or tiers
• How can school psychologists be of assistance in this endeavor?– Understanding of importance of controlled studies– Knowledge of various types of educational
journals – Skepticism is taught and valued - show me the
evidence that something is effective
QuickTime™ and aTIFF (LZW) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Do School Psychs Need to Know all the Research on
Reading, Math, and Behavior?• No - but we must be willing to ask the
tough questions when someone else suggests a particular approach, curriculum, or strategy be used:
Is there an evidence base for the effectiveness of this approach?
Assessment
• Most School Psychs think of themselves as having expertise in this area
• In RtI we shift this focus to the system as a whole, rather than focusing primarily on individuals
• We need reliable and valid data for universal screening and progress monitoring.
• When you are doing less individual formal assessment, you will have time for other roles such as helping teams view and analyze data to make good instructional decisions
Data Usage and Data Analysis
• This is an important skill in making RtI work - and initially, many educators may need assistance with how to use data to make good decisions for kids– Graphing behavior or skills– View trends in data across grades, years– Analyzing multiple sources of data across
individuals or small groups
Consultation• Problem solving which is a key component in RtI has it’s
roots in consultation
• Many of you have had training in behavioral, instructional, or collaborative consultation
• While these skills will continue to be very useful for students needing tier 3 interventions - one of the shifts school psychs will need to make is using these skills to focus on the system rather than individuals if we are serious about all students making progress
Consultation/Collaboration
• School Psychologists as educational translators
• We need to help staff see the connections!
• This is not more on the plate - RtI is the plate.
Consensus building
• Not a one time event
• Goals and consensus for achieving those goals needs to revisited often to keep focus and momentum going
• There is a role for you in this area

Integrity is _______________.
What’s in a word or phrase?
• Fidelity • Treatment Integrity
• Adherence • Intervention Integrity
“Intervention Integrity is the degree to which a planned intervention is implemented as
designed” Greshm, Gansle, Noell, Cohen, & Rosenblum, 1993
Ensuring Intervention Integrity is Important
Key Questions:
Is it being done?
Is is being done well?
What the reason for progress or no progress?

2 Levels of Problem Solving
• Grade level teams - for tier 2
• Building team - for tier 3
Collaborative Problem Solving
• Grade level teaching teams meet together on a regular basis to review student data and student progress toward important goals
• Students not making adequate progress receive additional targeted or intensive support

Step 1: Problem Identification
Question: What is the discrepancy between what is expected and what is occurring?
1. List problem behaviors and prioritize2. Collect baseline data on the primary area of concern (target
student and peer comparison): Record Review Interview Observation Testing
w State discrepancy between target student performance and expected/peer performance.
Problem Identification Key Points• Collect & analyze school-wide data on top referral
concerns• Define “expected” (e.g. local norms / national norms /
criterion)• Group v. Individual interventions• Prioritize one concern• Concern is stated measurably• Multiple data sources certify the problem (RIOT)• Avoid problem glorification• “Who, what, when, where, how” plan for tasks
Tools to...• Review (R)
– Cumulative folder– Permanent products
• Interview (I)– Brief Problem Identification Interview– Instructional Planning Form (IPF)
• Observe (O)– Washington Classroom Observation– On-task – Frequency/Duration/Latency – Correct/Errors– Momentary Time Sampling: e.g., DENO, BASC, Social Play
• Test (T)– GOM / Early Literacy– MAP– Other norm or criterion referenced assessments
Basic Problem Identification Interview:
• What strengths have you identified regarding this student?
• List your current concerns for this student.• Which one concern would you like to work on first?• How could this concern be defined as an
observable, measurable problem?• Do you have any other data regarding this problem?• If this problem was magically fixed tomorrow, what
would look different for this student?
Instructional Planning Form (IPF)
Purpose: Examine current educational program and classroom environment– Activity (e.g., Focus or Skill, Teaching Strategy)– Materials– Arrangements– Time– Motivational Strategies
(Later) Focus on these alterable variables to develop hypotheses and interventions.
Goals of Problem Identification
• Establish a positive working relationship among team members
• Define the problem in observable, measurable terms.
• Identify the conditions under which the problem exists across setting.
• Provide a strength of the behavior across settings (e.g., how often, severe).

Step 2: Problem Analysis
Question: Why is the problem occurring?1. Collect additional RIOT data to
Differentiate between a skill and performance problem (e.g., can’t do v. won’t do).
Determine situations in which the problem behavior is most likely and least likely to occur.
Generate hypotheses2. Narrow down to the most validated and alterable
hypothesis.

Step 3: Plan DevelopmentQuestion: What is the goal?
A. Write the goal, a measurable statement of expected outcomes.
Question: What is the intervention plan to address the goal?B. Define logistics (e.g., what strategies/procedures will be used,
when and how often the intervention will occur, who will implement the intervention and where it will be implemented, and when it will begin).
Question: How will progress be monitored?C. Define logistics (e.g., what materials are used, when and how
often data will be collected, where data will be collected, and who is responsible).
D. Decide on decision-making rules for plan evaluation.
Plan Development Key Points• Determine rate of growth to reduce the discrepancy:
– Oral Reading Fluency: 2 words per week or to spring target
– Written Expression: 1/2 CWS per week or to spring target
– Math Facts: 1/2 fact per week or to spring target
– Behavior: 10% improvement per week
• Research-based intervention plan
• Technically adequate progress monitoring tool
• Role of master schedule in planning interventions
A. Write the Goal
– Specify desired behavior
– Specify measurement condition
– Specify criterion for success
In (number) weeks, when (condition) occurs, (learner) will (behavior) to a (criterion).
Could you graph this goal?
Check:– Is the behavior to be measured defined?– Are the measurement conditions clear?– Is the criterion for success specified?

Ensuring Intervention Integrity Rarely Happens
. . . fewer than 15% evaluated and reported data concerning intervention fidelity. (Gresham, Gansle, Noell, Cohen & Rosenblum, 1993)
Without checking on implementation integrity, teams cannot be sure that interventions are
being applied as designed (DuPaul & Stoner, 1994)
If the intervention is not applied as designed, progress (or lack thereof)
cannot be attributed to the specific plan (Kaufman & Flicek, 1995)
Student behavior change is correlated with intervention treatment integrity
(Noell et.al., 2005)
“We serve our children best by being circumspect . . . and not allowing our confidence in our teaching skills translate into a sense of infallibility.”
SCRED LD FAQs (Kerry Bollman)
Directly Observe the Intervention in Action
Wickstrom, et al. (1998) reported significant discrepancies between levels of treatment fidelity reported by teachers (54%) and as revealed by direct observation (4%).
Provide Specific Training and Support Interventionists
Initial training for interventionists (Hirallel & Martens, 1998)
1. Trainer explains the procedure to the interventionist
2. Trainer demonstrates the procedure
3. Interventionist practices the procedure with the trainer as mock student
4. Trainer provides specific feedback
5. Repeat steps as necessary
6. Application in the instructional setting
Plan Implementation Key PointsIntervention Scripts & Training
– Specifics of intervention are well understood by interventionist
– Interventionists like them!– Training: Modeling, practice, and feedback with
adults prior to use with students
Integrity checks- Was a direct observation done?- Do data support that plan was implemented as
designed?
Integrity doesn’t stop there . . .
Complete ongoing assessment of implementation through:– Participant Reports– Observation– Review of Permanent Product(s)
A Note About Participant Reports
• Self-report feedback from interventionists and students is useful and good.
BUT
• Participant report alone should not be used to evaluate treatment integrity
Making Adjustments to Plans
Consider a plan change when the current plan:– Is not acceptable to the interventionist
– Is not feasible to implement.
– Is not perceived as being effective.– Is highly disruptive to the classroom ecology.
Changes?
• Team decision
• Document!
Integrity of Progress Monitoring
• Collect and graph data on intervention goal• Monitor the progress monitoring plan • Provide support to those collecting the data. • If the data are not being collected designed
then – Give additional support OR– Change the progress monitoring plan

5. PLAN EVALUATION
Step 5: Plan Evaluation
Question: Is the intervention plan effective?
• Use data to determine student progress
• Evaluate intervention acceptability
• Determine as a team what to do next.
Plan Evaluation Key Points• What is adequate response to intervention?• SCRED Practice:
– CBM target scores for fall, winter, spring of each grade as linked to state test
– Inherent growth rate within these target scores is defined as our desired rate of growth
– Calculated confidence interval (Standard error of slope) around the target growth rate
– Students with growth rates below the bottom of the confidence interval are considered to not have adequate response to the intervention

Problem Analysis
• Goal of problem analysis is to understand the variables that may be contributing to the problem, to develop potential hypotheses from this learning, and design a plan to solve the problem.
PA: Scientific Method
• Observe and identify problem
• Develop relevant hypotheses
• Design procedures to test hypothesis
• Collect data
• Analyze and synthesize data
• Make a conclusion
Hypotheses and Level of Inference
• All hypotheses require some inference• What is known vs what is inferred• We want to rely more on low level vs high
level inferences - more explicit behaviors and environmental events
• These will lead to alterable variable, ones which we have control over– The instruction, curriculum, school environment
Shift in thinking
• If you are used to giving tests that purportedly give you information about something within the student that is contributing to the problem, then we are asking you to suspend this for a moment.
• While student characteristics are not unimportant, we want to investigate those lower level inferences first.
• We consider student characteristics when they interact with alterable variables
Thinking Differently about Students’ Problems
• Student problems can be defined and changed
• Questions will drive assessments
• Assessments will lead to instructional decisions
• Enabled learning rather than discrepancy or diagnosis is the goal
• Instead of diagnosing the learner, we begin by diagnosing the instruction. We identify flaws in the instruction and correct them, with the assumption that the learner’s problems were caused by flaws in the instruction (Engelmann & Carnine, 1982, p.18.
Asking the Right Question
What does this student
need in order to fix the problem
we have identified?
Problem Analysis Defined…
Problem Analysis is the process of gathering relevant information in the domains of the instruction, curriculum, environment, and the learner (ICEL) through the use of reviews, interviews, observations, and tests (RIOT) in order to evaluate the underlying causes of the problem.
Importance of Problem Analysis
• Interventions are derived from results (data) generated during problem analysis.
• Interventions linked to assessment information are more likely to be effective in meeting the desired level of performance.
• Ineffective interventions can lead to resistance to intervention by further supporting problem behaviors and making it harder to meet desired outcomes.
Warning!!!
• Teams: Do Not discuss hypotheses for why the behavior is occurring before you have defined the behavior you are considering.
• Team note takers should have a written discrepancy statement on the Problem Identification Summary Form before hypothesis discussions begin.
• This will help keep discussions more focused and efficient
Question: Why is the problem occurring?
• Based on what you know list possible causes for the student’s problem (hypotheses)
Consider all domains (Instruction, Curriculum, Environment, Learner)
Differentiate between skill problems and performance problems Determine situations in which the problem behavior is most
likely and least likely to occur
• For each hypothesis generated, list the data you have that supports or refutes the hypothesis
• Narrow down to the most validated and alterable hypothesis• Collect any additional data you need to validate the
hypothesis that the team considers to be the most likely This might be an observation or informal assessment to
examine skills - but you are looking for convergent data
Problem Analysis
This phase can be a bit circular…
Look at the data
you have
Think about what
hypotheses seem
possible given the
data you have, and list data for each
Collect any
additional data
you would need
to confirm or
refute your guess
A. Consider what you know about the target behavior that is relevant to determining why the problem is occurring and a possible solution

PA: Summary
• Interviewing is often a skill strength that many school psychologists have developed
• These skills are directly transferable to the Problem Analysis process, and will be a valuable asset to teams in solving problems
• This afternoon we will practice using a tool to help in this important part of the Problem Solving Proces
