The document outlines a professional development session focused on comprehensive literacy and differentiated instruction in an RTI-based classroom, emphasizing formative assessments and balanced literacy models. It details instructional strategies for elementary education including tiered interventions and data-driven practices for monitoring student progress. Participants will learn tools and techniques to improve their instructional programs and better support students' reading fluency and comprehension.
Response to Intervention: Techniques and Tools for Your Toolbox
- 1. Session One Comprehensive Literacy & Differentiated Instruction: Sixty minutes in an RtI based classroom Tools & Techniques for your Toolbox Tim Irish & Amina Iqbal Universal American School of Kuwait
- 2. By the end of this session, SWBAT: Compare, contrast and analyze one balanced literacy model with your own classroom model. Use formative assessments to monitor and encourage student use of effective reading strategies. Use one norm-referenced CBM to inform instructional interventions needed for individual students in an elementary classroom. Willingly suspend our disbelief in order to sit down next to our children to think about where we are, where we want to go, and how to get there.
- 3. Tools: • ORF – Oral Reading Fluency Test – Ms. Iqbal • Independent Reading Records – Mr. Irish • Class record sheet Techniques: • Centers / Stations / Rotations • Team Teaching • Guided Reading / Modeling / Strategy Instruction • Fluency instruction – Choral reading, echo reading, partner reading • Learning Continuum • Direct Instruction > Guided Practice (Me > We ) • > Shared Inquiry > Independent Practice (Two > You)
- 4. Elementary Tier Model (K-5) Intensive 1-2 Tier 3 Intervention 5% Students 60 minutes Tier 2 3-4 Intervention Students 15% 20-30 minutes per day in the classroom Tier 1 Comprehensive Core 15-17 80% Students 90 minutes per day Research based, differentiated, balanced literacy instruction
- 5. Research based instructional practice ◦ Flexible, differentiated instruction. ◦ High percentages of student engagement. ◦ Thoughtful alignment of curriculum, assessment and instruction. ◦ Early emphasis on phonics and fluency ◦ Continued emphasis on comprehension strategy instruction – guided reading followed by cooperative learning, shared inquiry and independent practice. ◦ Instructional interventions based on student response. ◦ Daily emphasis on formative assessment.
- 6. Today we are going to be reading one of my favorite poems of all time, “Disobedience”! We have two SFTD’s for the day: Reading for Fluency and Asking and Answering Questions. We’ll be rotating through two sessions. Please thank Ms. Iqbal for spending time with us today. Happy Reading!

- 7. Session Two Data Driven Instruction: Principles of RtI Put Into Practice Tools & Techniques for your Toolbox Tim Irish, Amina Iqbal & Michelle Saud Universal American School of Kuwait
- 8. By the end of this session, SWBAT: Describe the concepts of Benchmarking and Progress Monitoring using two Curriculum Based Measures. Describe one option for developing a comprehensive Tier II plan. Analyze Progress Monitoring Data for Tier II students to determine need for Tier III interventions. Walk away with tools and techniques to build a more effective instructional program for their students.

Research based instructional practice ◦ Flexible, differentiated instruction. ◦ High percentages of student engagement. ◦ Thoughtful alignment of curriculum, assessment and instruction. ◦ Early emphasis on phonics and fluency ◦ Continued emphasis on comprehension strategy instruction – guided reading followed by cooperative learning and independent practice. ◦ Instructional interventions based on student response. ◦ Daily emphasis on formative assessment.
- 11. CBM Benchmarking and Progress Monitoring ◦ A Curriculum Based Measure is a simple test similar to taking a patient’s blood pressure. ◦ It doesn’t tell the teacher what is wrong, but it indicates which students may require systematic, intensive interventions to diagnose reading issues and prescribe individual interventions. ◦ In Session II we will look at these pieces of the puzzle: Mrs. Smith’s 2nd grade Fall ORF scores (CBM Benchmarks) Tier II Plans Instructional design to allow for Tier II interventions that match student needs. Progress Monitoring to measure effects

Backwards Design Begins with Standards Benchmarking and Progress Monitoring Fluency Assessment Maze Test Tier II Plans – When written well and implemented, student response to interventions can replace testing to determine student needs. Progress Monitoring Data for Tier II Students Data gathered over time can show trends and identify students who need Tier III support.
