Step 3: Bridging the Excellence Gap Using a Response to Intervention (RtI) Model
Improvement Cycle 1. What are we trying to accomplish? 2. How will we know that a change is an improvement? 3. What changes can we make that will result in improvement? http://www.ihi.org/resources/Pages/HowtoImprove/default.aspx
WINning Strategy to Address Gaps Biggest Areas of Gap: Math Technology Literacy Students need more than Academic Support: Family Engagement, Guidance, Counseling Cohort Building Leadership and Scholar Identity Development
Multi Tiered System of Support Model (MTSS) Consistent with existing RtI Framework Identification, goal setting, progress Monitoring Facilitates knowledge of model
