Overview of Challenges

• Big Advantage
• Our school already had the MAP assessment in
  place. However, not everyone knew how to use the
  reports, etc.
• We provided training on the various components
  (tests/subtests/Des Cartes use, etc.)

Another Plus

  Mastery and Corrective Reading, as well as Number
  Worlds for math).
• Activities Provided SRA Reading Mastery and
  Corrective Reading Materials to those involved
  with Number Worlds. Staff received training in
  the listed programs.

Another Plus

• Our school has the Read to Achieve Grant. The
  basic procedures have been in place with
  DIBELS/GRADE assessments. However, this year we
  changed from GRADE to TPRO, and from DIBELS to
  AIMSWEB.

Challenges

• Training timeline
• Ice storm
• Electrical/technical problems
• State testing
• Still need to address some training issues

10
Another Challenge

• Organization of our materials We discovered
  several programs were already in the district.
  The problem locating all components/levels,
  inventorying them, and finding the best place to
  house the materials. An effective check-out
  system needs to also be addressed.

11
Another Challenge

• SPACE
• We need an intervention room/lab. We are asking
  for this with some of the stimulus money.

12
Another Challenge

• Tech support
• We need newer and more computers to run the
  programs for the interventions, which will
  require more wiring.
• We need fiber connecting us to the main campus.
  This is also coming next year, via the use of
  stimulus monies.

13
Critical Pieces in the Development of the Tier
Program

• Development of process, procedures, forms
• Communication of above among all involved
• Scheduling
• Space
• Getting everyone on board Ownership Its a
  regular education issue

14
Plan to Sustain Program

• PD day at the beginning of the 09-10 calendar to
  address training issues, including AIMSWEB and
  review of procedures/forms
• District support of technology needs stimulus
  monies will be used for fiber to school and
  hopefully an intervention lab.
• Summer Scheduling changes will be addressed to
  help with the location of and consistent
  provision of intervention.
• Ongoing training (faculty meetings/teacher
  planning days built into the calendar to address
  concerns/successes as they occur
• CSIP- RTI written into school plan
