 ** RTI and PBS PLANNING FOR 2010-2011  ** ** // KEY QUESTIONS: Is this work increasing student achievement? If so how will know? If not what will we do differently? // **  WHAT WE KNOW:  · In the 10-11 school year we will have a reduction in resources for ex. No RTI coaches  · RTI is a mandated system and we need to develop another three year plan to sustain this model  · Whatever system works for a particular school or district must be embedded in that school’s culture  · We have some of the components of RTI in place but need continued emphasis and expansion of these components.  · The components that are weak or not in place need additional m focus for ex. progress monitoring at the secondary level. OUTCOMES:  · To build a sustainable, locally driven RTI system in all NW BOCES member districts  · This system will be embedded in each school’s culture and leadership will be engaged in leading this effort  · To include the PBS system as a critical component of the RTI system  · To continue to build a strong collaborative system between special ed and general ed including a better definition of the RTI process and when special ed. referral is appropriate. This process should be clearer with better timelines. RESOURCES:  · All districts have had training regarding the RTI process and RTI team development  · Most districts have built a pyramid of interventions and have examined current curriculum practices  · Districts have progress monitoring systems in place at most levels  · For the 10-11 school we will have a PBS regional consultant from CDE in our region (Kelly Vanderbosch)  · For the 10-11 school we will have a regional Collaborative Consultant to assist with the RTI process two to three days per month (Nancy Steele)  · Provide more definition regarding the RTI process and when a special education referral might be appropriate. STRATEGIC ACTIONS: <span style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo4; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · Over a three year period 11 schools or districts will be chosen to work with the Collaborative Consultant (CC). The choice of the schools to work with the CC should be a mix of districts and age levels within those districts.
