Tier III - PSM• Repeat steps of cyclical problem-solving
model
• Student need drives problem solving team members – Parent
– Teacher– Teaching peer, counselor, school psychologist,
curriculum specialist, data/assessment specialist administrator, social worker, nurse, etc.

Tier III - PSM
• Small percentage of students
• Formalized, systematic process
• Intervention and assessment increases in intensity/frequency
• Individual goals- short and long term

Define the Problem
Develop a behavioral (observable) definition
of problem
TEAM FIRST MEETS TO DEFINE PROBLEM

Step 1: Define the Problem
• Essential step
• Develop a behavioral/academic definition
• Concrete, Observable and Measurable
• Stranger test?
• Most difficult step!

Define the Problem
Develop a behavioral (observable) definition
of problem
Step 2Develop an
Assessment PlanGenerate a hypothesis
and assessment questions
related to the problem
HOW DO WE ANSWER THESEQUESTIONS?
11
Step 2: Develop an Assessment Plan• We must ask questions to form a hypothesis
regarding “What is the problem? Why is it occurring?”
• We ask questions across four domains:
Instruction
Curriculum
Environment
Leaner
InstructionPossible Questions•Has the instruction been consistent?
•Has the student received instruction in constituent skill areas?
•Does the student respond more effectively to a different pace?
•Has the student received descriptive feedback?
12
Instruction
CurriculumPossible Questions•Are the deficits in the core?
•Does the curriculum include the needed skills?
•Has the student had enough time in the curriculum skill areas?
13
Curriculum
Environment
Possible Questions•Is the student “on-task” during instruction?
•How is his/her behavior in class and out of class?
•Home and school environment? (past and present)
14
Environment
Learner
Possible Questions•Any Medical issues?
•Background information in the cumulative record?
•Language issues?

Review
Examples•Review records
•Review grades
•Review teachers’ anecdotal records/instructional artifacts/work samples
17
Interview
Examples•Teacher interview
•Parent interview
•Interview past teachers/previous school
•Student interview (older grades)
18
Observe
Examples•Student observation
•Student/teacher interaction observation
•Instructional observation– Core – Intervention
19
Test
Examples•CBM in area of concern
– Survey level – Grade level
•CBM in other areas•Common Assessments•Diagnostic – informal or formal
20
Diagnostic Assessment
• Further investigation to help determine which intervention is most appropriate
• Can be CBM or other common assessments
Examples
Running Record, CBM, Informal reading assessments, Single skill math computation tests, Writing samples,
Student interviews
21
22
Diagnostic Assessment: Myths
• Comes in a box• Used to identify the presence of a reading disorder• Must be administered by specialists• Are formal• Time consuming and impractical.
23
Resources for Free Diagnostic Assessments• http://www.fcrr.org/FAIR/index.shtm- diagnostic
reading assessments for pre-K through high school
• http://www.thephonicspage.org/On%20Reading/readinggradeleve.html - diagnostic phonics assessments for all grade levels
• Math- Intervention Central has the ability to make up single skill probes of math skills

Case Study – Tier III

Case Study - Page 1
• Student Name: Chris
• Date: 9/6/XX
• Areas targeted for instruction/intervention: Reading
• Specific Problem: Reading Fluency

Case Study: Tier III Background Information
Record Review
• Vision/Hearing - pass
• Retentions - none
• Absences/tardies - no concerns
• Transferred schools - midyear first grade (VA)
• Prior interventions – Tier I and II in second grade (see data)
27

Case Study: Tier III Background Information
Record Review (cont’)• Universal screening data
- R-CBM - 34, MAZE - 3 (Fall-current school year)
- math - on grade level
• DRA2 = 20

Case Study: Tier III Background Information
Tier I (during second grade)
– Define the problem - “Chris’ R-CBM score of 29 (Winter- universal screening) is below the 10th percentile when compared to national norms.”
– Error analysis (teacher) indicates several decoding weaknesses, including multisyllabic words, diagraphs, blends
– Chris’ low score on R-CBM is because of his weakness in decoding, specifically multisyllabic words.

Tier III - Case Study:Background Information

• Syllable pattern activities from FCRR - 2x/week,

Step 3Analysis of the
Assessment PlanDetermine if problem is
correctly defined
WHAT DID WE FIND?
40
Tier III - Analyze the Assessment Plan
Team reconvenes (within 2 weeks) to discuss results of assessment results
• Is our problem correctly defined?
• What is our hypothesis (based on the data we gathered) and how will we “test” it?
41
Tier III - Analyze the Assessment Plan
• Structured observation results– Attention to task was age appropriate compared to
peers in classroom
• Hypothesis rejected
Environment
42
Tier III - Analyze the Assessment Plan
• CBM error analysis - confirms multisyllabic words,
diagraphs, blends• Review DRA2 - Score of 18 • Interview Instructional specialist from previous
school–Previous utilized different materials and instructional methods
• Hypothesis accepted
Curriculum
43
Tier III – Analyze the Assessment Plan
• Teacher Interview– Determined review of early literacy skills is not an
intentional component of reading instruction
• Instructional observation– Review of early literacy skills was not observed
• Review instructional materials– 3rd grade materials do not include a review of early
literacy skills
• Hypothesis accepted
Instruction
44
Tier III - Analyze the Assessment Plan
• Speech Language Screening– Passed
• Social/Developmental History– Uneventful social/medical development
• Hypothesis rejected

Tier III – Goal Setting
• Short Term Goal– Length determined by intervention period
• Example: 8-10 weeks from intervention start date
– Set goal based on baseline data
• Long Term– Length determined by grade level expectations
• Example: end of school year
– Set goal based on baseline data
49
Tier III - Goal Setting
• Norm Referenced Goal
• Rate of Improvement (ROI)/Growth Rate
• Percentile Rank
50
Tier III – Goal Setting: Norm Referenced
• A standard, model or pattern regarded as typical
• Typical performance of peers? – Classroom– Grade – District – State – Nation
51
Tier III – Goal Setting:Norm Tables
• Percentile ranks
• Average score (range 25th-75th percentile)
• Let’s practice reading a norm table
