Aims Web Data Analysis:
-Kdg grade level has divided students into reading categories
-How are we going to service the different needs of students?
-Each teacher will take a group of kdg students once a week during rest time to provide instruction at their reading level
-How can we accomplish this?
-Extra Staff- Not available
-Parent volunteers might be a confidentiality risk
-Compus Learning not ready yet
-Areas of concern:
-Kindergarten students are new to school routines/ processes.
-We should not attempt to switch classes before the 8th week of school. This will allow students to adjust to their own kdg teacher and new school environment.
-Half Day kdg will not be able to participate due to time constraints

-Talk with parents
-Consult with interventionists
-Collect data for 7 weeks... check in at 4 weeks to tweak/decide if we are we seeing what we need to be seeing

DON'T USE RTI Electronic Tab- Fill out a purple sheet "tracking sheet" to show a record of the information for the year
Continue to fill out a green sheet on a student even if what you are doing in the classroom is working. Fill out the green sheet even if you don't need to present the student to RTI because you have fixed the issue yourself in the classroom. This will provide documentation for the issue you have addressed and resolved
Information to bring to RTI: behavioral- notes, academic notes- letters/sounds/ numbers/ test scores, information shared by parent
Do we want to use Playground/Lunch time referral slips - use in K? Talk it over as a group
