There are two RTI/MTSS Plan forms in SameGoal; one for Tier 2 and one for Tier 3. The Tier 2 and Tier 3 documents are very similar but are kept separate to help track a student's movement between tiers.
A student may have multiple RTI Plan documents open simultaneously if they are in different tiers in different subjects/areas. In this case, they would have a Tier 2 RTI Plan and a Tier 3 RTI Plan.
However, only one document is needed per tier. For example, if a student is receiving tier 2 interventions in multiple subjects, all tier 2 interventions can be tracked in a single Tier 2 RTI Plan document.
Steps
To create and author an RTI Plan:- On a student's Documents tab, create an RTI Plan. Select the appropriate tier based on the interventions the student is receiving.
- Enter in Meeting Date, Start Date, and End Date according to district policy.
- Some districts create one plan document per tier for the entire school year and some districts choose to create a new plan document every 6-9 weeks.
- Provide relevant background information.
- In the Interventions/Accommodations section, click add Intervention for each target area of concern.
- Detail intervention, goal and progress monitoring information in the Intervention section.
- Click add Accommodations and enter in accommodations the school is using to help support the student in a Tier 1 setting for state and districtwide assessments.
- In Districtwide Assessments, only click add District Assessment if the student will participate in a standard assessment with accommodations, participate in an alternate assessment, or not participate in an assessment due to exemption.
- Provide any other relevant information in Additional Information or Considerations.
- Summarize all decisions and interventions in Discussion Summary.
- Add signatures.
- If your district requires it, be sure to include the parent/guardian signature.
- Mark the document complete.
Depending on what your district policy is, there are a couple of typical workflows you could follow.
- Create one Plan document per tier for a given school year:
- Create an RTI plan document for the year.
- Set the End Date to be at the end of the year.
- Fill out the rest of the Plan document.
- Complete the Plan document.
- At the end of the year, complete a Follow-Up document.
- Amend the Plan document every 6-9 weeks:
- Create an RTI Plan document.
- Set the End Date to be 6-9 weeks after the Start Date.
- Fill out the rest of the Plan document.
- Complete the Plan document.
- At the end of the 6-9 week period, add an amendment.
- Add a new amendment section.
- In the amendment section, enter a new End Date an additional 6-9 weeks in the future.
- Do not change the original End Date
- Update the Plan as necessary.
- Complete the document again.
- Repeat.
- A new Follow-Up deadline will be calculated to be 15 school days after the most recent End Date.
- A new Plan and Follow-Up must be created every year, so you cannot enter an End Date more than 1 year after the Start Date.
- Create a new Plan document every 6-9 weeks:
- Create an RTI Plan document.
- Set the End Date to be 6-9 weeks after the Start Date.
- Fill out the rest of the Plan document.
- Complete the Plan document.
- At the end of the 6-9 week period, Complete a Follow-Up document.
- As needed, create a new Plan document for the next 6-9 week period.
