The Florida Elementary School support team is ready to review the Tier 2 progress monitoring data for a number of students. One of these students, Clay, has received Tier 2 instruction for thirteen weeks. The school support team will evaluate Clay's progress monitoring data to determine how he has responded to Tier 2 instruction and to decide which instructional tier would best meet his needs. The team will use the dualdiscrepancy (performance level and rate of growth/slope) approach to answer these questions. The criteria the team are using to determine whether a student is responding adequately to instruction is a performance level (benchmark) of 40 wpm and a rate of growth of 1.3. Once the school support team has completed its evaluation of Clay's data, his teacher will contact Clay's parents and arrange a meeting to discuss Clay's progress and the team's recommendations regarding his tier placement. a. Using the thirteen weeks (from Week 8 to week Week 20) of Tier 2 progress monitoring data outlined above in the table and graph, calculate Clay's performance level and rate of growth. (2 points) ? To find performance level, take the average of the last three scores for the student and determine whether it is in the expected range based on the information provided in the scenario. ? To find rate of growth, use this calculator provided in the IRIS, RTI Part https://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/mcontent/calculatorslope/#content. You will input the information for the student and compare it to the expected improvement in reading in the scenario. b. Determine whether Clay is responding adequately to Tier 2 instruction. Explain your response. (2 points) c. Based on your evaluation, what tier of instruction would you recommend for Clay? Describe the type of instruction he should receive. (2 points) d. How often should he be monitored? (1 point) e. Imagine you are Clay's teacher. Describe what information you would share with his parents and how you would justify the team's tier placement recommendation. (2 points)
