We just completed our 4th year with RTI implementation. Your last sentence says it all - It seems that we'd need to be very creative in finding the time and personnel to implement this plan. Everyone in our building is actively involved with helping the students. We also have a lot of paperwork that needs to be completed for each student. Our first step is to refer a student to our Student Assistance Team (SAT). Then a caseworker from the SAT meets with the teachers involved to discuss the student before the whole SAT gets involved. After that we try several interventions for each student depending on his/her needs. Our universal screening tool was the DIBELS test (next year we'll be using AIMSWeb). For any student scoring below benchmark on DIBELS the classroom teacher had to write a Student Improvement Plan. These plans are very involved. The classroom teacher writes goals for each student and then monitors the student's progress. The SIP are looked at and modified as the student meets the goals. I'm sure there is a lot of our RTI plan that I've forgotten to write about, so if you have any specific questions please just ask. I'll answer them as completely as I can.
