TN Universal Screener Update (Elementary)
Tennessee now has a state universal screener for all districts. This screener meets the requirements within the RTI2 Framework and requirements found in the "Say Dyslexia" law. The screener adopted is aimswebPlus. We are ahead of the game since we already know many measures and are familiar with the reports. In meeting the requirements, the state has determined which measures must be administered to all students in grades K-3. We are still gathering information and clarification from the state on the specifics of what is required.
The RTI2 Department is providing training with updates from the state. Each school must send at least one person to the training with the expectations of taking back the information to train school staff. Please hold off on extensive scheduling and planning for universal screening until further clarification comes from the state.
The time for this training is 9:00-11:00.
Intervention Groups (Elementary)
We know many of our students are in need of intervention. After students have adjusted back to school, intervention groups may begin. Start with the students who were in intervention when schools ended in May. After the universal screener, the groups may be adjusted.
