The National Center on Response to Intervention reviews screening and progress monitoring tools (both mastery and general outcome) to assist schools in their selection process. These can be found under 'resources' and 'tool charts'
These were the tools utilized by the pilot school and more information can be found at
As referred to in the presentation, this was the play for six weeks to have instruction BOTH in general education class as well as in an "intervention" to target an area of need for a subset of students.
While not polished copies, this was our grassroots attempt at infusing the evidence based practices to ensure that students weren't getting "more of the same" or "louder and slower" as often happens in improperly designed interventions. For the future, we would look into programs with an evidence, that address this school's patterns of need, or carefully design materials in advance.
This interview with the teachers focuses on successes and obstacles, as well as lessons learned. They will continue on and plan to purchase a more comprehensive, computerized, and research based assessment system so they can focus on using the data to inform instruction and creating a true intervention block with evidence based instruction.
