The child does not achieve adequately for the child’s age or to meet state-approved grade-level standards in one or more of the following areas, when provided with learning experiences and instruction appropriate for the child’s age or state-approved grade–level standards

U.S. Department of Education Office of Special Education Programs Building the Legacy: IDEA 2004 11
Key Issues: RTI SLD Evaluation (TBA 2-3)
Determining existence of SLD (cont)
To ensure that underachievement in a child suspected of having a SLD is not due to lack of appropriate instruction in reading or math, the group must consider: Data that demonstrate that prior to, or as a
part of, the referral process, the child was provided appropriate instruction in regular education settings, delivered by qualified personnel; and
![Page 12: Response To Intervention (RTI) and Early Intervening ...Key Issues: RTI Definition (TBA 1-1) RTI: Must permit the use of a process based on the child’s response to scientific, research-based](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050717/5e470e52833a8411121677ea/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
U.S. Department of Education Office of Special Education Programs Building the Legacy: IDEA 2004 12

U.S. Department of Education Office of Special Education Programs Building the Legacy: IDEA 2004
Key Issues: RTI SLD Evaluation (TBA 3/4-5)
If the child has participated in a process that assesses the child’s response to scientific, research-based intervention, documentation of eligibility determination must include a statement that the child’s parents were notified about—
The state’s policies regarding the amount and nature of student performance data that would be collected and the general education services that would be provided
Strategies for increasing the child’s rate of learning, and
The parents’ right to request an evaluation

U.S. Department of Education Office of Special Education Programs Building the Legacy: IDEA 2004 14
Key Issues: RTI As Evaluation
SLD identification—Components of Comprehensive Evaluation
RTI does not replace a comprehensive evaluation
Must use a variety of data-gathering tools and strategies even if RTI is used
Results of RTI may be one component of the information reviewed
![Page 15: Response To Intervention (RTI) and Early Intervening ...Key Issues: RTI Definition (TBA 1-1) RTI: Must permit the use of a process based on the child’s response to scientific, research-based](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050717/5e470e52833a8411121677ea/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Key Issues: RTI As Evaluation
SLD identification—Components of Comprehensive Evaluation (cont)
Variety of assessment tools/strategies
Cannot rely on single procedure as the sole criterion for determining eligibility
Each state must develop criteria to determine whether a child has a disability
![Page 16: Response To Intervention (RTI) and Early Intervening ...Key Issues: RTI Definition (TBA 1-1) RTI: Must permit the use of a process based on the child’s response to scientific, research-based](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050717/5e470e52833a8411121677ea/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
U.S. Department of Education Office of Special Education Programs Building the Legacy: IDEA 2004 16
Key Issues: RTI Parent Bypass and LEA Request for Evaluation
Length of time in RTI—Discussion
Instructional models vary in terms of the frequency and number of repeated assessments that are required to determine a child’s progress
It would be inappropriate for the Department to stipulate requirements in Federal regulations that would make it difficult for districts and states to implement instructional models they determine appropriate to their specific jurisdictions
![Page 17: Response To Intervention (RTI) and Early Intervening ...Key Issues: RTI Definition (TBA 1-1) RTI: Must permit the use of a process based on the child’s response to scientific, research-based](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050717/5e470e52833a8411121677ea/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Key Issues: RTI Parent Bypass and LEA Request for Evaluation
Length of time in RTI—Discussion
Models based on RTI typically evaluate the child’s response to instruction prior to the onset of the 60-day period
RTI models provide the data the group must consider on the child’s progress when provided with appropriate instruction by qualified professionals as part of the evaluation

Establishing a national standard for significant disproportionality is inappropriate because of multiple factors to consider in making such determinations within each state, such as
Population size
Size of individual LEAs
Composition of State population

Key Issues: EIS (TBB 3/4-8)
If the LEA chooses to use $500,000 for MOE, it may not set aside anything for EIS (EIS maximum $300,000 less $500,000 means $0 for EIS)

Key Issues: EIS (TBB 2-6; 3/4-8)
If significant disproportionality by race/ethnicity is found
15% EIS funds take precedence over MOE
MOE can only be reduced if after 15% deducted from eligible MOE funds there are eligible MOE funds remaining

Key Issues: EIS (TBB 2-6; 3/4-8)
If significant disproportionality by race/ethnicity found
2006 = LEA receives $1,000,000
2007 = LEA receives $1,100,000
Increase = $100,000
MOE = 50% increase = $50,000
15% precedence = $165,000
MOE = $0
