Welcome!
Introductions Presenters and participants
Objectives
Know the critical components of Responsiveness to Instruction (RtI) as a school improvement model. Understand the importance of defining a continuum of supports, beginning with the Core Learn how two systems have developed a system to ensure materials and practices are evidence-based, aligned with behavioral & academic standards, and utilized/implemented with fidelity
What is RtI?
Framework that focuses on:
Appropriate, targeted instruction Evidence-based teaching strategies Early intervention
3. Assessment
4. Curriculum and Instruction
Core: Tier 1
Who: All students are in Tier 1 (Core)
What: Evidence-based programs and practices demonstrated to produce good outcomes for the majority of students
Effectiveness: If at least 80% of all students are meeting benchmarks in Core alone. What about subgroups?

Core: Tier 1
Who: All students are in Tier 1 (Core)
What: Evidence-based programs and practices demonstrated to produce good outcomes for the majority of students
Effectiveness: If at least 80% of all students in all subgroups are meeting benchmarks in Core (with no additional support)

Common Findings
Not all in agreement of common practices
Staff members missing training component(s)
Lack of fidelity with ensuring core is being addressed A lot of resources available, but not always connected/aligned
MOST students who are behind will respond positively to additional CORE instruction.
Schools have more staff qualified to deliver core instruction than specialized instruction.
Issue is how to schedule in such a way as to provide more exposure to core.
Partner Talk
Discuss amount of time for core instruction for all students
Do students have enough time receiving core instruction? Do all students receive core instruction?

Bottom Line
The
only way the needle moves is through an integrated, schoolwide approach in which everyone owns part of the problem and believes big changes in
achievement can happen.
Don Deshler NC CLC Symposium February 2013
Difficult to answer the question what tools and procedures do we use to teach children to read? Lack of guaranteed curriculum within and between schools and grade levels. Need for transparency with data, particularly regarding subgroups. Curriculum gaps, particularly related to Foundational Reading Skills.
System wide trend data provides evidence that the ACS CORE Literacy Model does not meet acceptable standard after the first 4 years (Kindergarten-3rd) We must be willing to measure the effectiveness of the ACS Core Literacy Model through the analysis of subgroup performance data. We must reject the notion that low performance of some student subgroups ( 2 or 3x below other subgroups) in reading is because of socio-economic status, or home environment. It is imperative that district level staff and funds support and emphasize changes to the Literacy Model that will get different results than those over the past 5 years. The greatest area of need for students and teachers is in the area of Foundational Skills
Implementation Plan
Timeframes & Clarification: Provide a DEFINED ELA core curriculum vs. weekly timeframes Collaborative Process: involving all K-5 teachers, stipends for coach/teacher work days over the summer, and system wide plan for implementation for 2013-14 New ELA Coach Model: effective January 2014 Wilson Fundations added as new component to Core ELA at K-2 in all elementary schools (address Foundational Skills/Phonics in Core)
Theme: partnering and collaborating with elementary schools to build continuity and support teachers with best instructional practices to improve student outcomes (NEW, January 2014) Instructional Coach Model Handbook o Includes intentional partnering with Instructional Technology Facilitators and School Library Media Coordinators
(NEW, August 2013) ELA Coach Structure with School-based ELA Coaches partnering with district coach (NEW, August 2013) Math Teacher Leader Structure with 2 representatives from each elementary school partnering with district coach
to support the implementation of a defined local core curriculum to improve learning outcomes for students
to bring coherence to the roles and duties of staff to assist teachers by demonstration and modeling
Coaching Continuum

The effectiveness of our local K-5 ELA core curriculum will be measured by student data including subgroup data. Therefore, we have Defined a guaranteed core curriculum for all ACS elementary students. We will use Fidelity Measures - for each defined component of our core ELA curriculum to improve the delivery instruction not as a gotcha!
We want comfort and transparency with how we teach students to read (Core ELA) a good thing for all of us to share with our parents and community!
Studio Lessons
o allow teachers the opportunity to watch colleagues present a lesson and have conversation with peers regarding instructional practices

Impact on RtI
Focus on Core instruction is increased - added documentation of Core effectiveness to Tier I Problem Solving Plan
Dr. Whitney Oakley, Executive Director of PreK-5 Curriculum and Instruction Guilford County Schools
Susan Laney, RtI Coordinator Guilford County Schools
Where we are
Implementing district changes and support for pieces of core instruction Equipping PLCs to direct Tier II Transitioning intervention support team to Tier III team Aligning academic and behavior efforts Go slow to go fast! Providing core instruction to meet the needs of most students, including subgroups Layering intervention programming connected to core instruction

Literacy Strategy 1.28 Give teachers high quality resources and a standardized, specific plan to teach reading. Explore research-based, standardized reading programs Improve the quality of instruction in the literacy block Increase student achievement and decrease the percentage of students who need intensive intervention Early Intervention Strategy 1.33 Provide high quality, research-based interventions for students. Provide a multi-tiered system of supports that ensures student receive effective and timely interventions
