Performance Objective
By the end of this meeting, participants will have solutions to the three most common RTI issues being experienced in DJJ.
Essential Question
What should RTI look like in a Department of Juvenile Justice school?
Common Issues
1. Interventions are not research-based
2. Documentation is missing or incomplete/ No evidence of school-wide participation
3. Files not being transferred between facilities with the student
Interventions
Common Question: Where do I get research-based interventions?
DJJ has provided the following:– Concise Curriculum– TABE Success (Language and Math)– Mentoring Minds
Concise Curriculum
Can be used on Tier II or III Used in Social Skills/Elective Class Used for students with behavior/anger issues Combines Social Skills, Reading, Language
Arts, and Math Problem Solving Also useful for motivating students with short
attention spans
TABE Success
Can be used on Tiers II or III Available for Language Arts and Math Contains several levels with 7-10 activities Great for use as an evaluation instrument to
identify a need for further assessment
(Tier III)
Mentoring Minds
Contains hundreds of research-based strategies for all three tiers
Strategies for both academic and behavior interventions
My Favorites
Tier III Behavioral:– Have a mentor or coach (a favorite teacher) meet
at the beginning and end of each day with a student who is receiving interventions to review goals, monitor progress toward reaching those goals, and provide reinforcement.
– Develop a BIP based on the results of assessments and collected data (enlist the help of your SSP or special education teachers!)
My Favorites Cont’d
Pages 87 and 89 in the Mentoring Minds Teacher Guide Book contain a Behavior Monitoring Individual Report and a Behavior Monitoring Graph.
These two documents completed by EVERY classroom teacher along with a behavior contract proves school-wide participation in RTI
Coming Soon….
Instruction for Targeted Success– Will be available as a computer program as well
as pencil and paper assignments
Additional Research-based Interventions
www.interventioncentral.org Interventions separated by content area,
behavioral Behavioral includes strategies for the
“unmotivated” student
Tracking Sheets
When using TABE Success, Concise Curriculum, etc., teachers should make a note on the student’s tracking sheet:– “CAP 18 substituted with Lesson 4.1 TABE
Success per RTI Tier II”
Documentation Missing or Incomplete
Who collects data at the Tier I level?– If math is the problem, only the math teacher– If Reading is the problem, Language Arts,
Science and Social Studies– If behavior or motivation is the problem, all
teachers
Data Collections
Students are screened within 10 days. Data Collections begin immediately At the end of 6 weeks, have a meeting to
discuss the student’s progress At this point, you may discontinue data
collections, move a student to Tier II, or continue data collections for a specified amount of time
Data Collections
The Chairperson should collect the data collection forms at the end of 6 weeks and keep the forms in the master notebook for future reference as long as the student remains at that facility.
Data Collections
Teachers should have the data collections filled out completely!
Do not leave blank spaces. Each teacher should include the number of AEPM referrals, DRs, card color, etc.
Collecting Forms
Forms are collected:– at the end of the specified time (6 weeks Tier 1, 5
weeks Tier II)– when a student is transferred to another facility– final release
Collecting Forms
RTI files must be sent to receiving facilities within three school days.
Documentation
In the event that you are unable to collect data forms within three days, a chain of authority has been established:– Chairperson– Principal/Lead Teacher– TA– Regional Principal
Documentation Checklist
Additionally, Regional Principals are going to begin spot-checks of RTI data collections during their visits.
Each teacher should have a notebook with data collection forms, Tier II Progress Monitoring, SST Education Plans, and 504 accommodations.
Please provide all of the teachers at your site a copy of the documentation checklist so that they are prepared!
