A high number of students were referred due to executive functioning concerns.

What UDL/ Tier one strategies are we incorporating into our daily pedagogy and practice? Do we need to have a set of core practices that we teach and develop through grades K-5. How do we incorporate these into our daily practice?

Why is the area of executive functioning such a prevalent concern in initial referrals?

2024-01-24 15:33:53 UTC

There are a higher number of kids being referred in third grade

number of private school students in our data

Notice

2024-01-26 19:24:40 UTC

The majority of referrals are based family/parent concerns.

2024-01-26 19:25:08 UTC

How many teachers also agreed with the parent referral?

A higher percentage of students were identified with communication disability.

2024-01-26 19:25:13 UTC

Confused about private school kids. Do they come here for the services during the school day? Never knew this.

2024-01-26 19:25:14 UTC

Seemed like a large number of private school referrals

2024-01-26 19:25:21 UTC

Has class size been part of the conversation? Looking at the different schools, when class sizes are smaller, there were less referrals.

2024-01-26 19:25:32 UTC

What is the average number of private school referrals per year?

2024-01-26 19:25:37 UTC

Is there an "if then" flow chart to support students before referral?

2024-01-26 19:25:49 UTC

2024-01-26 19:26:01 UTC

what is the correlation between parent referrals and students who qualify?

Could the overidentification be that teachers are committed and advocating for students?

2024-01-26 19:26:11 UTC

I wonder how many students from parent referrals were already in the SST process.

2024-01-26 19:26:15 UTC

Wonder

2024-01-26 19:26:19 UTC

Could family referrals have something to do with the district's family makeup and their level of expectation not meeting the age-appropriate abilities? They think their child should be able to do more than their age actually can do.

81% of parent request how many where in out SST process

2024-01-26 19:26:31 UTC

A lot of referrals in first and third grade.

2024-01-26 19:26:57 UTC

2024-01-26 19:27:24 UTC

What would the data look like with number of students and not percentages?

Next Steps

2024-01-26 19:28:01 UTC

Family education on grade-level exceptions?

Create grade specific RTI materials to support classroom teachers progress monitor in a more specific way.

2024-01-26 19:28:11 UTC

Of the DNQ how many were parent request for referral

2024-01-26 19:28:15 UTC

It would nice to see data regarding how many parent referrals were for students that were already part of the SST process.

2024-01-26 19:28:42 UTC

could have more time in the schedule to address student need?

2024-01-26 19:29:51 UTC

How many of our students who were found eligible for SLD had an outside evaluation that diagnosed the student with an SLD? Could this contribute to our disproportionate numbers?

2024-01-26 19:30:03 UTC

There are less referrals in the older grades, so we must be catching students in the younger grades.

2024-01-26 19:30:04 UTC

2024-01-26 19:30:13 UTC

Can we adjust Data Teams to meet the needs of the students to provide intervention prior to evaluation process?

WIN - can we have this back?

2024-01-26 19:30:17 UTC

2024-01-26 19:30:50 UTC

Having a WIN block will allow us to provide more intervention

Out of the SLD category, How many in reading, in writing, and in math?

2024-01-26 19:32:27 UTC

How many students who are referred have an older sibling who is already identified?

2024-01-26 19:32:37 UTC

Data Teams

2024-01-26 19:34:52 UTC

A more robust data team (similar to what was done in the past) may allow us to look at the whole child and determine effective intervention needs prior to CST/Evaluation referrals

How many referrals are for new-to-the-district students? If it is high, should we assume that families are moving here for the high-performing schools?

2024-01-26 19:35:39 UTC

Thinking flexibly about schedules and caseloads to be able to target instruction- but also keeping the expected number of minutes on curriculum.

2024-01-26 19:38:45 UTC

ADHD as an IEP vs 504?

Thinking about EF referral numbers and grade level numbers.

2024-01-26 19:38:51 UTC

There is an intentional focus of EF skills at entry points (K + 6). How can we be more intentional about EF skill development in between those years? Is Grade 3 a place for that since referrals increase as curricular demands and pace of instruction increase?

WIN

2024-01-26 19:41:40 UTC

Bring back WIN time to allow for those in-class interventions. This could possibly decrease the gap.
