SAT TALKING POINTS
Elementary - Handbook and Presentation and Flowchart:
Grading for students in tiers-Grades need to reflect TIER level.
Talking to interventionists before referring to SpEd or exiting students
Interventionists must keep servicing students while waiting for SpEd qualification
Students do not need to be grouped by grade level, but by ability/skills needed, if possible
Identify with multiple data points, not just one assessment/data piece
ISIP tiers students at the 40th percentile
Standard RTI is at the 20-25th percentile
Small chunks daily of interventions is better than long time 1 or 2 days a week
Interventionists should not work with students that have ONLY behavioral issues or if that is the root cause of their academic problems
How to keep parents informed and follow the law - Senate Bill 1153
On page 20 in Handbook
Flexibility with numbers and minutes---to a degree!
Why fluency problem? Get to root cause in math or reading
Interventionists have additional diagnostic tests
Lesson links were shared with teachers for resources
Students should go through RtI before SpEd referral-DEPENDS...
TIER 2
Tier 2
Students about 1 year behind, not just for failing STAAR, missing some foundational skills, difference than in tutoring
Tier 2 work arounds: servicing as a grade level
Leave in T2 no longer than 20 weeks without progress, refer to T3
Stay in T2 for about 30-45 sessions, 12-18 weeks
Check progress in SAT meeting at least every 9 weeks
Not another Guided Reading lesson or reteach of the same thing
Targeted to the child’s needs ---the root cause
Must be an additional small group time meeting with teacher in order to accelerate students
Directions For Printing Out Graphs in Esped
Here is the cover letter..DME Progress Letter
Also, to print out a graph report in esped you can follow the following steps...
1. Click either on Tier 2 or Tier 3 Follow Up.
2. Click, Preview button at top (make sure you have entered scores so a graph can be generated)
3. Print only the pages with the graph results. (It will look similar to this)
TIER 3
Tier 3
Tier 3 is for students MORE than a year behind, missing many foundational skills
Should be instructed on the child’s instructional level, which should be a year below grade level
If no progress with first goal, are you at the root cause? Go down to foundational skills, set new goal, and track progress
Smaller group, more time
No longer than 27 weeks without progress, refer to SpEd
20-24 sessions, 4-6 weeks
Check progress at least every 6 weeks in SAT meeting
READING RULES AND IDEA DETECTIVES
READING RULES----PHONICS, PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND BASIC COMPREHENSION
IDEA DETECTIVES-GROWTH MINDSET AND DEEPER COMPREHENSION
NOT SUCCESSFUL IN MTA----IS THERE ANOTHER PROBLEM
DYSLEXIA REFERRALS-FULL FIE, SOME PARENTS MAY SAY NO

SETTING GOALS
RTI GOALS MUST BE SET
ALL TIER 2 AND TIER 3 STUDENTS MUST HAVE GOALS SET AS PART OF THEIR SIP PLAN.
Be careful how you write your goal as this will drive how you progress monitor every 2 weeks.
S.M.A.R.T. goals are a must: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely.
2. MATH GOALS-Use Envisions Placement test to set initial goals, then use Dreambox to progress monitor SEND HOME DREAMBOX PROGRESS REPORT-SOMETHING HAS TO GO HOME
Dreambox may not work for students, if working on problem solving.
3. Must send PROGRESS REPORTS AND A REPORT IN REPORT CARD.
EXAMPLE OF RTI GOALS
READING GOAL EXAMPLES:
Example Istation Goals:
Student will be able to move to Tier 1 in the area of fluency by the end of 30 RTI sessions.
Student will be able to improve their Istation comprehension score to at least 1,916 by the end of 30 RTI sessions.
Example MTS Goals:
Student will be able to read at least 8 out of 10 VC & CVC words from a quick phonics screener
Student will be able to read at least 7 out of 10 words with R-controlled vowels from a quick phonics screener
Example Fluency Goals:
MATH GOAL EXAMPLES:
Example Math Goals:
Student will be able to solve at least 8 out of 10 3 digit addition or subtraction computation problems by the end of 30 RTI sessions
Student will be able to solve 4 out of 5 multi-step word problems by the end of 30 RTI sessions.
Student will be able to score at least 75% on 2 progress monitoring assessments that require the student to use 3rd grade number sense (i.e. read, write, describe, compare numbers to the hundred thousands place, identify place values, and be able to give 10 more/less, 100 more/less than any given number) by the end of 30 RTI sessions.
Example RTI Goals (FUll list of Goals, not grade specific)
MORE ON GOAL SETTING
Goal set for all students in Tier 2 and 3
If a child is not meeting a goal, use the VAD in TRS to determine what is the step below that skill and work on that to build back up
Remember to team up to do RTI-group kids: fluency, basic facts, etc...
WHAT IF LOW IN READING AND MATH-15 MINUTES, 15 MATH-OLDER KIDS-MAY BE HARDER DUE TO LENGTH OF THINGS
SET GOALS WITH STRATEGIES-NO PROGRESS THEN REFLECT ON IF WE NEED TO BACK THE SKILL UP AND SET NEW GOAL AND ADJUST INSTRUCTION
IF FLUENCY IS THE ISSUE--MUST BACK UP TO SEE IF IT IS LONG VOWELS SOUNDS ETC...FIND ROOT CAUSE ASK INTERVENTIONIST FOR HELP
MATH CRITICAL SKILLS-
NUMBER SENSE, PLACE VALUE, BASIC FACTS, COMPUTATION, PROBLEM SOLVING
READNG CRITICAL SKILLS-
1-2 DECODING, FLUENCY
3-5 DECODING, FLUENCY AT THE BEGINNING OF YEAR, TRANSFER TO COMPREHENSION
HOW TO PROGRESS MONITOR
2. DIGITAL
MUST HAVE:
SESSION DATES
SESSION TME
SKILL/AREA OF FOCUS-EXAMPLE FLUENCY
OBSERVATION NOTES-FOR EXAMPLE-NOT REGROUPING, LEAVING OFF SUFFIX', INSERTING WORDS, DELETING WORD, MATH, BASIC FACT ERRORS
EVERY TWO WEEKS MUST HAVE PROGRESS MONITORING DATA-QUICK CHECK ASSESSMENT-FOR EXAMPLE-MAY BE AN ON DEMAND ISTATION ASSESSMENT, TEACHER CREATED COMPUTATION ASSESSMENT-4/5 CORRECT-BUT, MUST MATCH GOAL
PROGRESS MONITORING THE GOALS
Every student in Tier 2 or Tier 3 has to be given a quick assessment every 2 weeks (or every 8th session) to track progress.
However the goal is written is how you progress monitor
Istation goal = istation on demand assessment every 2 weeks
Phonics Screener Goal = phonics screener assessment every 2 weeks
Problem Solving Goal = 5 words problems, can be teacher created
Computation Goal = 5-10 computation problems, can be teacher created
Number Sense Goal= 5-10 number sense problems, can be teacher created as long as it is grade level TEK based
Progress Monitoring in math can be easy via google forms, 4th Multiplication/Division (Test A)

WHAT ABOUT SPEECH?
Speech RTI Process
2018-2019
If the TEACHER has concerns:
-Take concerns to SAT committee
-Mrs. Moon gives teacher the SPEECH RTI form
-Nurse checks hearing/vision
-Teacher completes the rest of the SPEECH RTI form
-Teacher gives form to SLP
-SLP reviews form, observes (if necessary) to recommend appropriate instructional strategies, and returns the completed form with SLP recommendations to the teacher.
-If formal assessment is recommended: SAT coordinator sets up meeting with SLP, Counselor, Teacher, and Parent (and notifies Danielle of this meeting.) Consent will be obtained at this meeting.
If the PARENT requests a formal speech evaluation:
-Parent needs to put the request in writing (if they make a verbal request, ask them to please put in writing.)

Fourth Grade Late Work Policy
FIRST GRADE PROGRESS REPORT
FIFTH GRADE GRADING GUIDELINES
Additional 5th Grade Grading Guidelines
5th Grade ELAR
Our Major grades are:
Projects, Novel Study Assessments, End of Unit Assessments
All else are Minor grades
ELAR under all one section of gradebook with dropdown for Reading vs. LA
SS under a separate section in the gradebook
We will NOT put end of 9 weeks District Assessments in PowerSchool Gradebook, but we will use them for data to better teach our students and communicate with parents.
5th Grade Science
Major grades will consist of unit tests, vocabulary, final project grades, and possibly *district assessments.
* We will wait to make this decision until September 17th on the first iPlan Day.
Minor grades will be any other grades that we may take; i.e., daily work, quizzes...
We have agreed to allow no more than 3 days to redeem/retake an assessment for the redemption opportunity.
5th Grade Math
We will take one major grade per unit.
If the grade is from an assessment, we will include vocabulary as part of the assessment.
We will not put the District Assessment in the gradebook.
Teachers will allow redemptions as they see fit, based upon the circumstances and assessment.
5th Grade Late Work
Consequences for late assignments are as follows:
1 day late: –10 points
2 days late: –20 points
3 days late: –30 points
4 or more days late: zero
Late work and points off is when a child doesn't turn in the work at all.
Corrections are made on major assignments that a student turned in and failed.
5th grade is only allowing major grades to be corrected - no daily work.
