Flow Chart for RTI Plan
Screen all students with NWEA Collect and organize school NWEA data Identify at risk student population for discussion at RTI team. RTI team recommends a Tier I intervention.
Tier I
Core classroom program with differentiated small group instruction. Classroom teacher provides additional instruction or oversees support to at risk students.
Assess the at risk students specific skill concerns Develop intervention plan and discuss progress-monitoring process at RTI meeting Implement focused instruction based on the plan Document progress/or lack of for at risk students Continue plan if successful or if no progress made convene a RTI team meeting to make changes in the intervention plan or, after 3 data points (initial assessment and then two data points), discuss referral to SAT for a Tier II intervention plan OR When grade level goal has been met according to exit assessment, phase out intervention
Tier II
Small group of three to four students and duration in group depends on student need. Involves interventionist with push in or pull out groups. Interventionist may plan the intervention to be carried out by other staff or will deliver the intervention.
Bring concerns to SAT meeting Review Tier I interventions,progress monitoring Continue or modify Tier 1 intervention and progress monitoring Develop a Tier II intervention and progress monitoring process Notify parents of intervention Implement focused instruction Gather information and graph a minimum of 3 additional data points Continue plan if successful or if no progress made convene a SAT team meeting to make changes in the intervention plan or, after 3 data points, discuss referral to a Tier III intervention plan When grade level goal has been met according to exit assessment, phase out intervention
Tier III
1:1 intervention or 1:2 group in an intensive pull out situation.
Tier I will continue, but Tier II will be replaced by Tier III Develop a Tier III intervention and progress monitoring process Notify parents of intervention progress and plan Implement focused instruction Continue plan if successful or if no progress made convene a SAT team meeting to make changes in the intervention plan or, after 3 data points, discuss referral to Tier IV When grade level goal has been met according to exit assessment, phase out intervention
Tier IV
Referral process for further assessments to determine if the student qualifies for services in special education will be recommended after student has received interventions in Tiers 1, 2, and 3 and
has not made progress.
Prepare referral with the data from the tiers of intervention Notify parents of intervention progress and referral for further assessment Continue to provide interventions for the student during the referral process

Enfield Station Schools RTI Process for Behavior Concerns
All students at Enfield Station School (ESS) are assessed two times per year (October and March) using the Systematic Screening for Behavior Disorders program. The program consists of the classroom teachers categorizing students into Internal or External behavior categories. Once categorized the top 3 students from each are screened using a form that assesses critical behavior events, adaptive behaviors, and maladaptive behaviors. Using the flow chart from SSBD the assessments are scored and either dismissed or qualified for further assessment. Further assessment consists of three 15 minute observations. 2 observations are
16
completed during academic work time and measures time on task and the 3rd observation is completed during unstructured time and measures peer interactions. o Results from the initial screening process are discussed during the next schedule SAT meeting with each grade level o Results from the observations of those that qualified are discussed at the next scheduled SAT meeting with each grade level. A discussion about the results occurs and interventions are brainstormed and applied by the SAT team. Throughout the school year there are monthly meetings held among grade levels that involve the classroom teachers, special education teacher, literacy specialist, math specialist, school counselor and the Principal. During these SAT meetings children are discussed that are demonstrating behavior concerns. o Teachers discuss interventions they have used within the classroom to address the behaviors. If these interventions have had success or not. If the teacher has not implemented an intervention within the room the SAT team recommends interventions (such as redirection, seating change, modified assignment, etc), and the next SAT meeting the team follows up with progress or not. o If the teacher has tried interventions without success the student is then recommended for a TIER 2 intervention. Follow up is done at the next SAT meeting. During the school year a teacher can meet with the school counselor at any time to discuss behavior concerns with a student. Through this consultation the school counselor gives suggestions for TIER 1 interventions to use within the classroom. If those are not successful the teacher and school counselor can make the decision to implement a TIER 2 intervention. The information is shared at the next schedule SAT meeting.

Recommended Behavior Interventions
TIER 1 Classroom guidance lessons Moved seating arrangement Apology letter Loss of time a recess
Loss of a privilege one time Proximity to the teacher Discussion with student about the behavior and what positive behavior could have been demonstrated instead Review of classroom rules Positive Recognition classroom system brownie scoops, homework return tracker, etc Re-direction Ignore behavior and give proximal praise Use of quiet workspace within the classroom Teach problem solving skills Coping skills (fidget tool, stress ball, doodling, schedule movement) Behavior reflection sheets
TIER 2
BEP (behavior education plan) Social skills group with school counselor Home/School communication Lunch buddy group Give student a job each day to allow for extra movement Quiet working space outside of the classroom Use of daily schedule to help on task behavior 1:1 with school counselor on specific behavior need short term Free pass for making a loop
TIER 3
1:1 school counselor support more skills focused and applying the skills outside the office Loss of a privilege to be earned back over time Coordination with community mental health providers

Enfield Station School School Wide Positive Behavior Recognition System LEVEL 1: Each week teachers discuss the school rules of Be Safe, Be Respectful, Follow directions & Listen. Students are able to earn tickets each week for demonstrating a school rule behavior. The amount of tickets teachers will be given to hand out to students will be assigned by the behavior team and posted in the entry way of the school each week this way student too will know how hard they have to work to be caught each week TICKETS: Teachers will be given a certain number of tickets every week There are two tickets 1. When a staff catches a student following a school rule, the staff writes the name of the student on both tickets 2. Tear the ticket in half 1 ticket goes in that grades
19
3.
pod container and 1 ticket goes to the office (staff can have a folder to keep tickets in for the week, but all tickets have to be brought to the office by noon on Fridays, because one ticket will be drawn. The winner of the week will get to add a train car to the Enfield Station Behavior Train, which will be on the wall in the entry way and grow throughout the year) Tell the student to put a star sticker on their class card
*The grade level pod containers will be monitored by the behavior team, and once full the grade will get a reward (extra recess, freeze pops, etc). Once the pods container is full, it will get dumped into the school wide container. Once the school wide container is full, then the whole school gets a reward (yet to be determined). LEVEL 2: Once a student has earned 5 star stickers they get to get their picture taken with the other students that have earned 5 star stickers and Mrs. Weiss. These pictures are placed on the 5 STAR bulletin board in the entry way, so they can get recognition for their accomplishment. The pictures will remain on the board all year. LEVEL 3: Once a student has earned 5 more star stickers (10 total) they get to have their picture taken and a word balloon coming off their picture stating what they did to earn their stars they get to put their picture anywhere in the school. The picture remains up for the rest of the school year. LEVEL 4: Once a student has earned 5 more star stickers (15 total) they get to trace their hand print and color it on the Behavior Hall of Frame bulletin board. 15 star students also get a certificate for Behavior Excellence and are recognized over the intercom.

School Wide Behavior Expectations and Rules The staff met as a whole are developed 3 core school rules that are expected to be followed in all areas of the school and playground. o Respect Self, Others, and Property o Listen & Follow Directions o Be Safe: hands and feet to self The staff met as a whole and created a Behavior Matrix to outline what each of the core school rules looks like in each area of the school along with the playground. The behavior matrix is a teaching tool within the classrooms to educate the students of the rules and what the expected behavior looks like and sounds like. These lessons are taught throughout the year with an increased focused the week after any vacation. The behavior matrix was also customized between the top floor (grades 35) and the bottom floor (grades 4yo-2), adjusting the language to be appropriate for developmental ranges. Posters are in the various locations within the school showing what each rule looks like in that particular area
School Wide Behavior Procedures
21
Low Level Behaviors: Deal with in the moment, no write up needed o If a student is demonstrating a yellow behavior frequently they teacher needs to bring the student up at the next schedule SAT meeting. The SAT team will develop a plan for the student. At the following SAT meeting the plan will be discussed and assessed for effectiveness. If the behaviors are still present the student is then moved to the Medium level for that behavior Medium/Minor Level Behaviors: Tracked by Mrs. Priest; Office referral form (green sheet) filled out High/Major Level Behaviors: Tracked by Mrs. Priest; Office referral form (green sheet) filled out; student sent directly to the office with the form Grades 4YO 2nd behaviors have been adjusted for developmental appropriateness Grades 3rd 5th behaviors have been adjusted for developmental appropriateness Bulls-eye forms are created and posted in each classroom. Bulls-eye forms are in the handbooks that go home at the beginning of each school year.
School Wide Behavior/Consequences Matrix
Consequences are linked directly to the level of the behavior exhibited by the student Consequences are given by staff members for Low and Medium level behaviors Consequences are given by the Principal for High level behaviors Consequence matrixs are posted in all classrooms and in the handbook
