Response to Intervention

istation is the key to an effective RTI program!

• Validated Benchmark and Continuous Progress Monitoring assessments
• Differentiated instruction
• Teacher-directed lessons
• Implementation reports

The following is a suggested framework for using istation as the foundation of a three-tier RTI model.

Tier 1, Primary Prevention

• Screen all students using ISIP™.
• Revalidate students who test "At Risk" or "Some Risk" using on-demand assessments.
• Students continuing to struggle should use istation for a minimum of 90 minutes per week.

Tier 2, Secondary Prevention

• Increase student usage of istation to 30 minutes, 5 times per week for 16 weeks.
• Provide teacher-directed lessons with small group instruction.
• Provide additional interventions to students testing "At Risk".
• Students continuing to struggle should move to Tier 3.

Tier 3, Pre-Referral Level

• Use ISIP data and istation reporting audit trail to assist evaluation.
• Confirm final status using other instruments as appropriate.
• When evaluation confirms a disability, the student has special learning needs and should be referred to Special Education.
