1. Gather key people around the table
Invite people around the table to gain a common understanding about why you want to pursue these activities around Response to Intervention. Be sure to include classroom teachers, campus leaders, probably some parents, school board members, older students, and generally a diverse set of perspectives. These folks can help you identify what it is you want to accomplish and how you will know if you were successful.
2. Agree on short term and long term outcomes
In the short-term, consider: what are those markers that show we’re on the right track?
Decide if the work you are doing around Response to Intervention and those components are making a difference for your students, and for your staff, and for the quality of services.
In the long-term, discuss how to look further at the performance of those students on other measures; their retention rate in school, their grades, their performance on state assessments. You might get a better sense about student participation in the variety of academic activities as well as their performance on academic and behavioral screening.
3. Start with something that will give immediate, noticeable impact
Get started with the area that would give an immediate impact, something that would get some momentum going, so you can demonstrate success, because it’s going to take some effort. Consider what your team can agree on and get folks engaged. One thing is to get them to agree, yeah that’s a good idea, the next thing is to get them engaged.
