General Objective
The purpose of this component is to provide the opportunity for schools to hold a variety of planned school improvement inservice activities for their faculties/staffs throughout the course of the year to increase the knowledge and skills needed to make use of research-based instruction and interventions to improve student performance using the Response to Intervention model (RtI). Upon successful completion of the component, participants will be able to demonstrate increase knowledge of/or skills in topics covered.
Specific Objectives
Upon successfully completing this component, participants will be able to:
1. Define RtI, understand the three tiered model, the components of compliance and have an understanding of the laws (IDEA/NCLB) defining this process.
2. Use assessments to screen, diagnose, and progress monitor students, and be able to graph the results.
3. Learn the problem solving process which includes, identify the problem, analyze why it is occurring, develop an intervention plan and evaluate the effectiveness of RtI for all students.
4. Document interventions and the student response to those interventions.
5. Collaborate with other professionals about student needs and priorities.
6. Engage in the development of a common curriculum, common assessments, implementation of high quality, research-based instructional strategies in the classroom and a proactive intervention process to improve student performance.
7. Provide high quality instruction and assessment matching student needs.
8. Align standards, curriculum, instruction, and assessments

10. Plan differentiated instruction.
11. Gather, organize and analyze student data Measure and document that the interventions are being implemented as intended. Determine effectiveness of interventions.
Description of Activities
Under the direction of a school-based administrator, participants may earn inservice credits for a wide variety of mini-workshop sessions, each with the ability to stand alone, to be held as an integral part of faculty meetings, or a series of mini-workshops either face to face or online. Specific objectives from other appropriate components in the Santa Rosa MASTER INSERVICE PLAN may be incorporated into this component to broaden its effectiveness.
Evaluation of Participants
Evaluation of the specific objectives will be determined by the activity leader or designee through analysis of student performance data affected by training activities, portfolios maintained by the training participant, documented observation by administrators, rubrics developed for special area curriculum, teacher-provided test results/grade books, or curriculum alignment data.
Evaluation of Activity
An online evaluation for this activity is not required. The facilitator may assign an evaluation survey through the Santa Rosa Professional Growth System if there is a need.
