Response to Intervention Flashcards
Core Behaviors for success in the classroom
academic Engagement, respectful, non disruptive
Direct Behavior rating
Combination of systematic observations and behavior rating scales
Cut score
score that divides students who are considered potentially at risk from those who are considered not at risk-set to over identify students as at risk
How do you establish cut scores
national norms, local norms (comparison at local level), cut score based on likelihood of mastery on core test (benchmark testing). Use statistical testing
Which level is the best for establishing cut scores
District
Why is the district level beneficial for establish cut scores
better for resource allocation-effective and efficient
What is a curriculum based Assessment
procedure to determine the instructional needs of student
Two approaches to Progress monitoring
General Outcomes and Skill Mastery
General Outcomes
appropriate for all students and goals and objectives based in general ed curriculum-simple, accurate, inexpensive, collected frequently-overall compentence in curriculum and used for screening and progress monitoring.
Skill Specific Mastery
appropriate for students with IEPs and goals and objectives referenced to general education curriculum. measures a mastery of hierachy of skills and short term instructional objectives
Example of Math CBM
Many different types of math problems
Example of Math Mastery
Only one type of skill-multi digit addition
Oral Reading Fluency
Formative Assessment, predictive, words read correctly in a minute, use median score across three passages to represent performance on grade level material
ROI
Rate of Improvement (for ORF it is 2 words a week)
Math Progress monitoring measures what
Digits correct per minute
Fluent Math computation skills indicate what
overall math performance
How do you establish a baseline
Median of 3 probes administered on same day
What does progress monitoring graph tell you?
graph summarizes level, slope and variability of performance
What is level of performance
average level of performance across a period of time
Slope of Performance
trend over time-look at rate of change
Variability of performance
bounce-if too much bounce look at environmental causes
Guidelines for instructional decisions
emphasis in attaining a goal, modify program only when attaining a goal is in doubt
