• How does this work at Ki-Be Elementary?
     
    1.  We use the RtI Triangle when we think about students who need intervention. 
     
    2.  We look at student data: MAP tests, DIBELS Tests and classroom assessment.
     
    3.  We meet as a team and discuss the skill(s) that students need to improve.
     
    4.  We create groups for our "communities" time.  The more intensive the academic need is, the smaller the group. 
     
    5.  Students who do not deficits in their skills are in larger groups working on extension activites in reading and writing.
     
    6.  Besides working through the Reading Mastery curriculum, we also work on fluency by practicing the Fry Word List and reading aloud from the Read Naturally program, collecting data.
     
    7.  Other resources we use include The Six Minute Solution and Curriculum ladders--which takes the skills of the MAP tests and arranges them by level, helping the teacher look at the needs of the students.
     
    8.  Student data and progress is closely monitored by the intervention and classroom teachers.  Placement in the different community groups will be adjusted as needed.
