Introduction
Beginning in 2015-2016 the RTI Program will use the title of WIN (“What I Need”) to
better reflect the purpose of the program. The primary purpose of Response To
intervention (WIN) is to provide high quality instruction to all students and early
intervention to individuals who are struggling, with the goal of bringing them up to grade
level. Interventions in WIN/RTI are to be provided in addition to regular classroom
instruction and will focus on the identified need(s) of the student. WIN/RTI is part of a
federally mandated initiative designed to ensure that every child receives the instruction
they need to be successful in school.
Rationale
The purpose and goals of WIN/RTI parallel the mission of our district and our individual
schools, which focus on student learning. The RTI Program also supports the mission
of the state testing system, the Race to the Top initiative and Senate Bill 1 (SB1).
Overview
The target areas for 2015-2016 are Reading and Math and Behavior, though other
areas may be addressed as well (written expression and/or social/emotional). All
students take a Universal Screener (Measure of Academic Progress) 3 times during the
year to identify needs and monitor progress. The RTI Program is organized by tiers:
Tier 3
Intense
Interventions
Tier 2
Targeted
Interventions
Tier 1

Procedures
 Universal Screener – This is a type of assessment that is characterized by the
administration of a repeatable assessment for age-appropriate skills to all
students. It will be used to determine the effectiveness of curriculum, instruction
and school organization. It will also be used to determine students’ level of
growth and proficiency in essential academic areas.
Screening data will be organized in a format that allows for the inspection of both
group performance and individual student performance on specific skills.
The school will be able to gain 2 valuable pieces of information from the universal
screener:
1. Curriculum and Instruction – It is expected that 80% of students will show
adequate progress through the year. If this goal is not reached, steps will be
taken to review the core curriculum and instruction. In addition, the results
will be used by school principals as the basis for their Quarterly Curriculum
Checks.
2. Student Learning – The universal screener will help to identify those students
who are not making acceptable progress in the core curriculum. It allows for
students to be targeted for an early intervention, instead of waiting for them to
fail.
The Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment will be used as the
screener in grades K – 11. The MAP will be administered 3 times each year.
 Identification – Students who are struggling in any area (academic, social or
behavioral) may be targeted for intervention. However, the primary focus will be
on Reading and Math using the screener results and teacher data. Other areas
(e.g. social/behavior, written expression), may also be addressed through
WIN/RTI.
 Intervention - Identified students will receive a specific researchbased/scientifically-designed intervention that targets the appropriate Reading
and/or Math sub-skill(s) as identified by the screening instrument. Intervention(s)
will be provided at a minimum of 30 minutes/3 times per week.
 Progress Monitoring - This is an ongoing, systematic process for gathering data
to measure the academic, social or behavioral performance of a student.
Additionally, it is a procedure that uses data to monitor the effectiveness of the
curricular/instructional program.
In addition, progress monitoring provides a fast, inexpensive and school-friendly
approach that allows teachers to continuously monitor student performance and
growth. It can also be used to determine the student’s rate of growth in
performance and to provide objective data about the curriculum to determine if
classroom instruction is providing benefits to all students. It is this type of
formative data that allows the school to make changes in interventions efficiently,
rather than waiting for the end of the year summative results.
4
7/13/2017
Identified students will be monitored bi-weekly using one of the following:
 AIMSweb (required for Tier 3)
 Program-Specific Probe (where available, i.e. SRA, etc…)
 Other
 Tier Review - A Tier Review will be conducted by the WIN/RTI Team every 4 – 9
weeks. A school psychologist will be in attendance at either the Tier 3 Review
Meetings or at a follow-up meeting with the school WIN/RTI Coordinator.
Available data (MAP, AIMSweb, Program-Specific Probes, classroom
performance and/or anecdotal information) will be used to determine next steps,
which may include one or more of the following decisions:
 Continue Intervention
 Discontinue Intervention
 Increase Frequency of Intervention
 Increase Duration of Intervention
 Change Intervention
 Initiate additional intervention
 Change tier status (up or down) – all documentation and data must be
submitted for review by the WIN/RTI Team and approved before changing
tier status.
 Fidelity Checks – The proper implementation of each intervention is critical to
the program to ensure student progress and validate performance data. Staff
members who provide interventions will be required to sign a ‘statement of
fidelity’ during each Tier Review. Additionally, the principal and/or district
coordinator may request a formal review.
5
7/13/2017
Tier System
All students will be classified in a specific tier or level. The Universal Screener will be
used as the primary identification/monitoring instrument, but other data (AIMSweb,
program specific assessments, classroom assessments, state mandated assessments,
grades and anecdotal information) may be used as well.
 Tier 1 – This area represents the regular classroom, where instruction and
differentiation is provided by the teacher. Generally, 80 -90% of the students will
experience success in this area. If less than 80% of the students are scoring
at the Proficient level, than there may need to be adjustments in the
curricular/instructional program.
 Tier 2 – Students who are not meeting standards in the general curriculum will
be targeted for an intervention that matches their identified need. A plan will be
developed that focuses on the identified need(s) of the student and will include
an appropriate intervention, provided a minimum of 30 minutes/3 times per week.
 Tier 3 – Students who do not make adequate progress in Tier 2 will be targeted
for Tier 3. Their plan will be reviewed regularly and appropriate
changes/revisions will be approved by the committee. Interventions at Tier 3
must also be provided a minimum of 30 minutes/3 times per week.
Parent Involvement
A letter will be sent to parents of students enrolled in the WIN/RTI program following
each Tier Review Meeting. The letter will report on the student’s enrollment,
performance and/or progress in the program. A conference may also be requested if
the Tier Review Committee determines a need to discuss the child’s
progress/performance.
ECE
If the Tier Review Committee determines that an ECE referral is appropriate, then a
formal notification should take place per district guidelines. An ARC can be scheduled
at any time by the parent or the school to discuss a possible referral.

School Overviews
 Spencer County Elementary School- Students are identified for reading and
math from MAP scores and supporting teacher data. The majority of Tier 2
intervention is provided by the classroom teacher with support from
interventionists. Student progress is monitored every other week. Tier 3
interventions is provided by Moby Max (3 times per week for 30 minutes), in
addition to Tier 2 instruction. The areas of written expression and social/behavior
are identified by teacher data with specific interventions developed based on
individual need.
RTI/WIN Behavior is monitored by classroom teachers and building
administrators. Students that need additional intervention will be given a
Behavior Intervention Plan specific to the needs of that student with a focus on
positive behaviors. Additional Tier 2 interventions include small group sessions
with the counselor (friendship, anger management, etc.) The teacher has
ongoing dialogue with building administrators to discuss progress or changes
needed. Currently students are referred by the classroom teacher for behavior
RTI, a universal screener is in the process of being developed.
 Taylorsville Elementary School - The WIN/RTI program provides interventions
for grades K-5 in the areas of mathematics, reading, writing, and behavior (see
page 21 for details). Determination for which students will participate in the
program is based on a universal screener (MAP/behavior screener), other
assessment data (K-Prep, STAR, etc.), and classroom performance. A Tier
Review Committee meets at the beginning of the year and then again after each
round of MAP testing to discuss concerns and progress made. All students
receive intervention services during a designated RTI block for each grade level.
 Spencer County Middle School - Spencer County Middle School- Students
are being served through Language Arts, Math and Behavior interventions.
RTI/WIN Math and Reading teachers use classroom data, K-PREP and MAP
results to determine student need. Interventions for Tier 3 Math and Reading are
provided during student elective blocks; Tier 2 Math is provided during the
elective blocks; and Tier 2 Reading is provided during the school-wide
reading/leadership block. The focus of RTI/WIN is not to re-teach concepts not
mastered in the regular classroom, but to teach prerequisite skills necessary to
become successful in the regular classroom. Placement is flexible and students
move in and out of RTI/WIN as needed on a quarterly, semester, or yearly basis.
RTI/WIN Behavior is monitored by classroom teachers and building
administrators. Students that don't respond to classroom interventions will be
placed in small groups based on indicators (grief, anger, self-harm, divorce,
etc…) and may be placed on a Behavior Improvement Plan (BIP) to be filled out
hourly and reviewed by the behavior committee weekly, bi-weekly or monthly as
decided.
7
7/13/2017
 Spencer County High School – The areas of reading and math will be targeted
again this year in the WIN/RTI Program at the high school. A Tier Review
Committee will be established that will include the District RTI Coordinator,
School RTI Coordinator, ECE Department chairperson, school counselor(s)
school psychologist (when available). A daily intervention/enrichment block has
been instituted for all students. Services and activities are targeted on an
individual basis based on MAP, EPAS, EOC diagnostics and other assessment
data. See Appendix A for an overview of the school program and interventions.
Behavior WIN/RTI - The area of behavior is in the process of being implemented
in the RTI Program at the high school this year with full implementation to
happen in the 2016-17 year. A Tier Review Committee will be established that
will include the District RTI Coordinator, School RTI Coordinator, ECE
Department chairperson, school counselor(s) school psychologist (when
available). A universal screener will be used to determine identified students.
(This screener is currently under review.) Services and activities will be targeted
on an individual basis based on screener results.

Behavior RTI
Beginning in the 2015-2016 school-year Spencer County will be implementing a more
formalize approach to Behavior WIN/RTI. (The following information was pulled from
the KDE Handbook on Systems for Interventions, which addresses behavior.)
Tier 1:
For the behavior arena,
 An intervention team may meet at least three times a year to formally review and
analyze cumulative school wide and classroom behavioral data from the previous
timeframe to date (e.g., Aug – Oct, every other month, each semester or grading
period, etc.).
 The team reviews all school wide student behavioral data around key indicators
(e.g., number of office discipline referrals per student, in-school suspensions,
attendance and tardiness records, counselor/mental health referrals, failing
grades, detentions, etc.) over the entire period.
 Classroom behavioral data could also be summarized by teachers at these
intervals to ‘flag’ for review only those students who consistently fail to meet
behavioral standards and expectations in the classroom or those students who
feel frustrated by the slow pace of classroom instruction (as indicated by student
performance in instructionally based classroom behavioral monitoring systems)
over a period of time.
 Students who significantly exceed normative behavioral threshold levels in a
school are given consideration for additional diagnostic assessment to determine
their need for behavioral/social skill instruction or intervention.
Tier 2:
Questions to Consider
 Are the academic and behavioral interventions evidence-based?
 How does the school implement a balanced assessment system as a method of
academic and behavioral data collection?
 Which diagnostic assessments for learning and behavioral/social skills will the
school use?
 Who monitors student performance after diagnostic assessments for instruction
and behavior are given?
 How is the academic and behavioral data maintained?
 How frequently is student data reviewed?
 Is communication between school and home regarding student academic and
behavioral progress consistent, organized and meaningful?
 How will the intervention plan be communicated to the student and how will the
student be involved in the process?
 How is the data shared among the different providers?
Tier 3 - Students who continue to have difficulty in acquiring necessary academic or
behavioral skills require instruction that is more explicit, more intensive and
comprehensive, and specifically designed to meet their individual needs. Tier 3 is
designed for students with low-content area skills and/or a sustained lack of adequate
progress when provided with primary and secondary interventions. Intervention at this
level is more intensive and includes more explicit instruction that is designed to meet
the individual needs of a struggling student. Instruction is tailored to specific individual
student learning targets or goals, and the duration of daily instruction is longer”
(McCook, 2006).
23
7/13/2017
Elements of Tier 3 include:
 Access to highly effective, evidence-based instructional interventions for
academic or behavioral skill needs or strengths for identified students.
 Increased frequency of formative assessments to analyze academic and
behavioral student responses to instructional intervention(s).
 Support for professional learning opportunities focused on knowledge and
understanding of the school’s Tier 3 instruction, especially for the teacher(s)
implementing Tier 3.
Strategies for Family and Community Engagement for Students in Tier 3
 Tiers 1 and 2 academic or behavioral strategies are continued for struggling
students.
 For high ability students, acceleration options are explained and provided.
 Families are informed on any changes in interventions along with the expected
outcomes.
 Families are continually informed of their child’s progress or any lack of progress.
Questions to Consider
 Are the academic and behavioral interventions evidence-based?
 Does the progress monitoring provide adequate data for decision making?
 Is the progress monitoring sensitive to small increments of academic or
behavioral learning growth over time and sensitive to the great leaps that high
ability learners can make?
 Is this progress monitoring sensitive to discrepancies between performance and
ability that may be reflected by high ability students as underachievement or
twice exceptional?
 Does the data from the progress monitoring assist schools in the development of
instructional strategies for academics and behavior and use of appropriate
curriculum for the student’s area of need?
 For the high ability child, are these factors reflected on the child’s GSSP?
 How does the school implement a balanced academic and behavioral
assessment system as a method of data collection?
 Which diagnostic assessments for academic and behavioral learning will the
school use?
 Will off-level testing be provided to determine the appropriate academic ceiling
for advanced learners?
 Who monitors student academic and behavioral performance after diagnostic
 assessments for instruction are given?
 How is the academic and behavioral data maintained?
 How frequently are students re-evaluated?
 Is communication between school and home regarding student academic and
behavioral progress consistent, organized and meaningful?
 Have relevant appropriate interventions for academics and behavior been
exhausted?

contacts).
*Behavioral Support Team will meet bi-monthly (September / November / January /
March / May) to review information provided through SWIS office referrals and from
teachers (2-3 office referrals will be watch list / 4 office referrals or more will require
observation). The team will determine which students will require an observation
*For students requiring an observation a rating scale may also be given to homeroom
teacher. Once BST has information required, they will meet again including the teacher
to develop a behavior contract/plan for Tier Interventions.
*Parent Letter will go home notifying of Tier 2 status and offering parent conference.
Tier 2
Behavior Contract/Plan (may include one of the following)
Check In/Check Out (incorporate reward system for earning their goal).
Increase personal accountability for signing agendas/paw sheets.
Small Group Instruction (6 weekly sessions)
*BST will review progress data on Contracts after 6-8 weeks to determine who should
continue Tier 2 status and who should go into Tier 3.
*Parent Letter will go home notifying of Tier 3 status and requesting parent conference.
Tier 3
Continue a Behavior Contract/Plan (though may be amended)
Adding one of the following as additional interventions
