The Response to Intervention Model is a problem solving model (It can also be a simple protocol.) based on data decision making to facilitate collaboration between general education, prevention/intervention programs (PAL, ELL, ISs, Interv. Spec., & special education.

Instructional level is determined by using CBM’s “Quick Probe” level

assessments Begin reading intervention and progress

monitoring at the student’s CBM recommended “Instructional Level”

CBM Instructional Level is the baseline score for beginning intervention

What is the practical significance and added value for PAL students receiving Headsprout technology-

assisted reading support?

What is the practical significance and added value for PAL students receiving Headsprout technology-

A PAL who has nearly tripled her DIBELS wcpm

rate.
