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.
We have two regular ed teachers on our SAT - one primary teacher and one
intermediate teacher. The Special Ed teacher is the one who organizes
things so we consider her in charge during the meetings. Actually, almost
everyone at the meeting has a job - similar to cooperative learning groups.

We were concerned that we were depending on DIBELS too much also because of
the fact that there really isn't a comprehension part (I'm 5th grade and
most of our kids are pretty fluent by then). So, we convinced our principal
to switch to AIMSweb for next year. They have a comprehension part. The

I think there are differences and similarities between guided reading and
literature circles. To begin with, during GR the text is picked by the
teacher were as during literature circles I try to have the students have as
much say in what they read as possible. But, after that I think the two are

For us DIBELS costs $2 per student. How do you get it free?

I didn't realize that the benchmarks set for DIBELS are only at the 35%ile.
I wonder why they wouldn't set them higher than that because they seem kind
of low to me. Does anyone know what the 50%ile is for the end of the year
benchmarks for 4th and 5th grades?

AIMSweb is similar to DIBELS but has a lot more information. It gives
information on reading and math - along with reading comprehension and math
problem solving. It does have a progress monitoring component. We've been
using DIBELS for the past several years and next year are switching to

I did something this year that has really helped my 5th grade class. We've

I'm curious to know what will you use as your universal screening tool if

I'm not sure if it is right or not, but my school assesses students using

What are the other RTI models? You're right - we implemented RTI about 2-3
years ago and the three tiers model is the only one I've heard about. BTW,
I'm also in Illinois.

It's similar to DIBELS but it's not DIBELS. It's called AIMSweb. The
