What is RTI/SST?

RTI stands for Response to Intervention. SST stands for Student Support Team. They are the same thing with different names.  It is a process that monitors and tracks student achievement to ensure appropriate instructional practices are meeting students instructional needs.  It is important to note that a quality RTI/SST is no place for egos.  In its rawest since, an RTI/SST process focuses on what the teacher can do better/differently to meet the needs of the student.  This requires that all parties involved work collaboratively and respectfully to improve each others instructional practices. Everything from content, instructional modalities, assessment opportunities, classroom management and physical environment are all examined on an individualized customizable level.  When it's done right the RTI/SST process is the most valuable component to increase achievement for all students.

I think we are required by the teaching police to have a visual graphic shaped like a pyramid whenever talking about RTI/SST.  All the ones I could find on Google Images were terrible so I made my own.

What is in this website?

This website was built to be an all encompassing one-stop-shop for buildings needing an effective and efficient way implement or improve their RTI/SST process.  Within this website you will find a detailed description of the RTI process to ensure no steps are missed. You'll also find intervention techniques, tracking and monitoring tools, an interactive calendar, all linked through GAFE to help streamline the data collection process for both the classroom teachers and the building RTI/SST team.

Where do you start?

Start be selecting the area of concern icon (Behavior, Literacy, Math, Executive Functioning) across the top.  You will then identify the specific area of focus and what the concern probably looks like on your end.  Once you have that determined you will select the Interventions icon to determine which intervention would work best for your students and their needs.  Lastly, click on the Tracking Tools icon to download a tool (via Google Apps for Education) to get a baseline and track the progress of the intervention.  Keeping your data on the tool download will help to streamline the data collection and team review for later on down the road.

When is the RTI/SST team available?

Contacting the RTI/SST team wouldn't take place until Step 3 of the process.  You can find out more detailed information about the steps of the RTI/SST process by clicking on the icon above title The Process.
