I'm an AIS reading teacher. Because of the tiering we have some groups limited to 3 kids (tier 3) and 6 kids (tier 2). We have not been told to use any specific program yet, but I could see it coming because of the need for frequent progress monitoring. That is different from our previous AIS where the kids were formally assessed 3 times a year with DRA or QRI testing. Our school psychologist is pushing for DIBELS, but after using it briefly and reading the book by Elaine Garan where she addresses valid reasons for not using it, I'm hoping we won't. Is your district advocating the Options program because they wanted a common intervention for all tier 3 kids? I'd also like to hear from other interventionists and if RTI has hit their districts.
