Answer:
How Does Progress Monitoring Work in RTI?
As soon as a student is identified as at risk for achievement deficits by the universal screening measure, his or her progress should be monitored in relation to Tier 1 instruction (Fletcher, Lyon, Fuchs, & Barnes, 2007). Progress should be monitored frequently, at least monthly, but ideally weekly or biweekly (Fuchs & Fuchs, 2006). A student’s progress is measured by comparing his or her expected rate of learning (e.g., local or national norms) and actual rate of learning (Fuchs, Fuchs, & Zumeta, 2008). A teacher can use these measurements to gauge the effectiveness of teaching and to adjust instructional techniques to meet the needs of the individual student. A student who is not responding adequately to Tier 1 instruction moves on to Tier 2 and increasingly intensive levels of intervention and instruction. The current recommended time period for measuring response to Tier 1 instruction is 8–10 weeks (McMaster & Wagner, 2007; Fuchs & Fuchs, 2005; Vaughn, Linan-Thompson, & Hickman, 2003) and nonresponsiveness is typically determined by a percentile cut on norm-referenced tests (e.g., < 20th percentile) or cut score on a curriculum based measurement (CBM).

Q4 How the RTI information is used in making eligibility, program and placement decisions for individuals with exceptionalities
ANSWER: PLEASE PUT IN OWN WORDS
During an intervention, your child’s teacher or another member of the RTI team uses an assessment tool that research has shown to be an effective way to measure certain skills. This tool is used to assess your child’s skills every week or every other week. That may sound like a lot of testing. But each assessment only takes a few minutes to complete. After each assessment, his score is plotted on a graph. This makes it easy for the RTI team to see if he’s improving at the expected rate or if he needs additional support

Q5 Strategies in communicating RTI results to various stakeholders.
Include only the most essential information. The more concise the report, the more likely a stakeholder who skims the report will receive the most pertinent information.
Make the report thorough, but as non-technical as possible. Consider not only the direct recipient of the report by also those to whom it may be passed along
Use results that lay readers can understand and provide key program context. Provide a clear interpretation of numbers, scores, and percentages.
Avoid over-generalization. Be careful about the extent to which you interpret results subjectively.
Provide with several different potential interpretations of results an encourage the stakeholder to weigh each possibility.
