We've noticed that there is a ton of interventions available for reading but not many for math. How your district is deciding which kids need interventions sounds a lot like how my district decides for reading. Yes, it is very possible for several students in your class to have individual plans. I had individual reading plans for 13 of my 19 kids this past school year. It can get overwhelming, but I've learned to keep up with the documentation. Keep records of all grades and be more specific with your gradebook. Instead of simply writing down the assignment page number write down the assignment objective or something that will spark your memory when you sit down to place grades on your plans. My kids complete the SuccessMaker program daily, so I keep detailed records of what they are doing and their scores from the program. If you have access to a computer program for reading or math, check out the reports the program can give you because they help a lot. I'll admit that the whole process is time consuming especially for us regular ed teachers that weren't use to writing and documenting individual plans for so many kids, but it does get easier once you find an organizational method that works for you. As to finding more information about RTI, there are a lot of websites about it. One site is www.interventioncentral.com.
