In our district, Tier I is the 90 minute literacy block required for all
students. Students who are some risk on Dibels must currently be progressed
monitored every week or two. (Fall 09 these students must receive 30 extra
minutes of small group instruction with a teacher (not independent or c
Bev says: I capitalized Gina's comment. I wish someone could write some
breakthrough novella a la "Brave New World" or like book which would be
allegorical enough for folks to tolerate but scathingly revealing of what is

I believe it is in the federal guidelines that all interventions must be
"scientifically-based" (read - a published, hand-picked program by those who
believe in a reductionist model of reading instruction) and "measurable" (read
- DIBELS or other approved programs who measure tiny parts). In o
Bev: I've been trying not to add anything to the RTI discussion because I just
don't have much positive to say right now. My ENORMOUS frustration is the
"research-based" and "measurable" facets, not with the philosophy, which is
wonderful. Again, I believe the whole thing is profit-driven if
Another similar idea is to do Oprah in the classroom (I think this is in
Allington's book Classrooms that Work??).
Basically you have one student be Oprah who then gets to interview a
character(s) from the book (you talk with the class about what kinds of
questions Oprah should ask)--it can ge
What a neat idea! Now I will be on the lookout for a
"microphone" this summer! Thank you.

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.
Pat,
If you use DIBELS, there is a book called "I've Dibled, Now What?" that helps.
The Florida site (FCRR.org) has lots of interventions, downloadable, free and
organized into the 5 categories (fluency, vocabulary, phonics, phonemic
awareness and comprehension). I've found these to be great for

It sounds like your disrict is using a 3-tier model, in which case, as I
understand it, tier 1 is the regular ed instruction - that instruction that is
effective for most of the students, and would involve the regular curriculum

Here is a web site that I found with a lot of information about RTI.
It looks pretty new, but it might be a good place to start and to
connect with some other people who are using the same approach. I

I will chime in with Susan regarding the need for additional staff for
intervention. Our district has chosen to see Tier 2 (additional instruction
for the struggling student) as the classroom teacher's role. I feel that
perspective actually null and voids the whole intention of RtI.

Jennifer & Others,
I have read the posts on this thread with great interest, as RtI is
becoming a reality for our schools. We have many Tier 2 and 3
interventions available for our students. I am most concerned about
working with teachers to provide instruction that would qualify as Tier

My district is also beginning an RTI implementation in Sept. and today we
