• RtI is tutoring provided after school.

• It’s a multi-tier approach to the early identification and support of students with learning and behavior needs.

• RtI is a program that only serves academic needs.

• It's a special education process.

Which of the following are essential elements of the RtI process?

• Defining the student problem

• Collecting baseline data

• Setting measurable goals

• Progress monitoring

Which of the following is a reliable definition of a student problem?

• Jeff really struggles with reading.

• Jeff has difficulty in all areas of math problem solving.

• When attempting to solve a multistep word problem with mixed operations, Jeff can set up the first step, but he is unable to consistently solve additional steps to find the final solution.

Which of the following are examples of baseline data collection:

• Percent accuracy (e.g. percentage of spelling words spelled correctly)

• Frequency (e.g. number of times a student gets out of his chair)

• Duration (e.g. how long a child engages in a tantrum behavior)

• Rate (e.g. number of words read per minute)

Which of the following is an example of a meaningful RtI goal?

• The student will increase his performance in basic reading.

• The student will be able to identify more initial sounds by the end of the month.

• The student will increase identification and use of initial sounds from 9/48 to to 20/48 within 6 weeks.

What is a typical timeframe for progress monitoring of RtI goals?

• 1 week

• 1 semester

• 3-6 weeks

• 2 weeks

Chris is a 1^st grade student who struggles with basic reading. His classroom teacher has differentiated instruction for him in class in a small group at the teacher table as a tier 1 intervention for six weeks. The teacher reviewed Chris’ progress monitoring data and discovered that Chris is not making progress. What should be considered at Chris’ next RtI meeting?

• Continue providing the tier 1 intervention.

• Provide Chris with a more targeted intervention plan in tier 2 with goals to address his defined weaknesses.

• Refer Chris for a special education evaluation.

Tier 3 interventions do not replace core instruction; rather, they supplement it. As a result, learning opportunities are extended.

• True

• False

Which of the following describes tier 3 interventions?

• Differentiated core instruction.

• Targeted group interventions that serve about 15% of students.

• Interventions are intensive and evidence-based. They’re provided to individuals or very small groups and they’re offered to about 5% of students.

Jonah is a 3^rd grade student who is struggling with reading comprehension. His teacher defined his problem as, “After reading a passage, Jonah is not able to describe multiple traits of the main character.” Jonah’s baseline data reveals that he can currently identify only one trait of the main character, which is typically whether the character is a boy or a girl. Which of the following is an appropriate RtI goal for Jonah?

• By the end of the next four weeks, Jonah will increase the number of traits he identifies from 1 to 3 when describing the main character of a story.

• By the end of the semester, Jonah will increase his performance in reading comprehension.

• Jonah will describe at least five characteristics of the setting of a story within the next four weeks.

• By next week, Jonah will increase the number of traits he identifies from 1 to 8 when describing the main character of a story.
