Problem Solving
In an RtI model, one of the initial steps
is to assemble the Problem Solving Team. While the members of
the team can vary from school to school, the basic composition
would include individuals who are skilled in:
-
Facilitation
-
Data collection and analysis
-
Academic research-based interventions
-
Behavioral interventions; and who are
-
Knowledgeable about the individual student
The problem solving process is key to
understanding student needs and delivering the correct
intervention to help the student be successful.
-
Beginning with Tier 1, classroom teachers provide
the first level of problem solving.
-
When at least two interventions are implemented
with little documented progress by the student, the Problem
Solving Team may be called upon to consider more intense
interventions.
-
The Team identifies student challenges using
observable measures on which data has been collected.
-
Next, the Team brainstorms possible solutions to
the student’s challenges through the use of research-based
interventions.
-
The Team chooses appropriate intervention(s) for
implementation, develops an action plan, and a plan for
monitoring student progress.
-
After the intervention has been implemented and
sufficient data are collected, the Team reconvenes to assess the
effectiveness of the interventions.
-
If data indicate that they student is progressing
adequately, the Team may decide to continue the current
intervention or lessen its intensity.
-
Should the data show a lack of progress, new
interventions may be put in place and progress monitoring
continued.
Response to Intervention incorporates the
District 11 Plan-Do-Study-Act problem solving process.
