elainacain12 — 2024-04-23 01:48:11 UTC

The universal screener for math and reading is administered three times—Fall, Mid-Year, and Spring—during the school year. The I-Ready reports identify students who are most in need of support in math and reading, indicating those who are two or more grade levels below as well as those one or more grade levels below in the Standard View.

Benchmark assessments and progress-monitoring tools are essential in evaluating and tracking student performance and growth over time.

The benchmark assessment for the Richmond County School System is the Universal Screening: I-Ready. Progress Monitoring involves either weekly or biweekly data collection, based on the results of the Universal Screener assessment.

The universal screener for math and reading is administered three times—Fall, Mid-Year, and Spring—during the academic year. The I-Ready reports aim to identify students who require the most support in math and reading, indicating those who are two or more grade levels below as seen in the Standard View, and those who are one or more grade levels below.

Detailed description of Tiers 1, 2, and 3 and their purposes

elainacain12 — 2024-04-23 02:14:36 UTC

Tier 1 encompasses the standard support every student in the class receives, which includes instruction utilizing research-based practices and curriculum, differentiated instruction through flexible grouping and diverse instructional strategies, and progress monitoring via multiple formative assessments and student work analysis. Tier 2 offers extra assistance for students falling below benchmarks in the core program, with targeted interventions and regular progress monitoring. Tier 3 provides intensive aid for students significantly lagging behind their peers, featuring small-group instruction and research-based remedial programs. The purpose of these tiers is to ensure that all students receive the appropriate level of support to succeed academically.

Two or three interventions are implemented at each tier for Tiers 2 and 3.

How will movement between tiers occur?

elainacain12 — 2024-04-23 02:33:35 UTC

If a student has accessed every educational opportunity at Tier 1 and is still not progressing adequately, then:

o Yes = Move to Tier 2

o No = Continue with the current instruction

Schedule a team meeting after all students have completed the Universal Screener and Child Find Checklists.

Develop a plan to determine the intervention materials, personnel, timing, location, progress monitoring tools and frequency, and set a date to review progress. Record this plan, including the names of the students, on the Tier 2 Data Team Documentation form. Inform parents of the student's intervention plan with a Parent Information Letter. Convene follow-up meetings to assess progress after 6-8 weeks of intervention. During these meetings, the team should: Evaluate the progress monitoring data and the student's rate of improvement. Decide whether to alter interventions, continue with the current Tier 2 intervention, or advance the student to Tier 3.

How will you ethically and appropriately share data points with relevant stakeholders, such as parents and professional colleagues at your school, to generate further questions and inform decision-making processes?

elainacain12 — 2024-04-23 02:39:55 UTC

Display the data in a clear and comprehensible format, like charts, graphs, or tables, to simplify interpretation and analysis for stakeholders.

Offer context for the data by detailing the collection methodology, acknowledging any limitations or biases, and explaining the importance of the results.

Foster open dialogue and teamwork by welcoming stakeholder inquiries and input, which can lead to additional discoveries and viewpoints on the data. Utilize the data to guide decision-making by examining possible consequences, pinpointing opportunities for enhancement, and formulating strategies in response to the insights gathered.
