Administering RTI measures is important for universal screening and early identification of those who are struggling with reading instruction (or any), and continuous progress monitoring for students.

Screening once at the BOY doesn't feel like enough data and doesn't track progress, just where students start. Need more
Benchmark is determined (possibly?) by lowest 25% of scores from the previous year. Is this grade-wise? Who is the group you use for data?

It can be hard to differentiate between what sort of data to use to inform instruction. There are lots of types of data analysis to use to inform instruction. This made us think about how assessments in literacy are typically a blanket measure, and can be hard to help determine the specific standards that would be best to focus on for a whole class. Baseline data for a whole class reveals very different things than an assessment for each specific standard.

We liked that this allows for a universal approach rather than pinpointing one student. The components that were highlighted of each tier: tier one is something that you potentially would already implement, tier two is more targeted, and tier three is the most intensive.

Data can be generally easier to collect in this approach since it allows (usually) a moment to go "hey, we need to monitor progress at multiple points."
- Though, like others have said, BOY assessment may not necessarily be an indicator of future progress, past progression forward, or the rate of growth up to this point, and requires ultimately a universal, tiered approach to address all students while also progressing to focus in on those who are "struggling" with literacy.
