Tier 2: Strategic Interventions •Students who need more support in addition to the core curriculum•Explicit small group interventions and embedded learning activities•Progress monitoring
Tier 1: Core Curriculum•All students•Researched based•Intentional teaching •Universal screening
BEHAVIOR SYSTEMS
Tier 3: Intensive Interventions •Students who need individualized intervention•Behavior support plans
Tier 2: Targeted Group Interventions •Students who need more support in addition to universal interventions•Targeted social emotional supports
Tier 1: Universal Interventions •All students in all settings•Nurturing and responsive relationships•High quality supportive environments

involvement

What is Response to Intervention (RtI)?
• RtI is the practice of …… providing high-quality instruction/intervention
matched to student needs and … using learning rate over time and level of
performance to …make important educational decisions.
(Batsche, et al., 2005)

Why Preschool?
“A compelling body of evidence affirms that early intervention is key to children’s success representing best practice in early child
development and education. Thus, to place children on a trajectory for success, RTI is best-
positioned to begin at the pre-k level.”
Coleman, Roth, & West, (2009), pg. 6

What we know:
• Pre-kindergarteners who attend programs that are aligned with the educational goals of early elementary schools:
o Are more prepared to start Kindergarteno Have better developed cognitive, academic,
social and emotional skillso Are more likely to graduate high school
and be productive citizenso Are less likely to have children in their
teen years or become entangled in the criminal justice system
Foundation for Child Development, 2005

trainingo Continued Universal Screening with the PELI
• New tools had emerged o Measured implementation fidelity of program wide PBIS using the
Preschool Wide Evaluation Tool, PreSET
o Recorded student behavior incident reports using the Behavior Incident Recording System (BIRS)
o Created an adapted version of the Building Self Assessment (BSA) to use with leadership teams to measure program implementation fidelity Program Self Assessment (PSA)
• Held 3 data review days after benchmark screening windows which included learning in data driven intentional teaching methods, embedded and explicit instruction and intervention.
