How to Screen for an RTI Program

It's possible to use MAP Growth tests to screen students within a Response to Intervention (RTI) program. Combined with classroom work and other data, MAP Growth data can help to identify at-risk students.

  1. On the MAP Growth Reports landing page, click Class Report or, for a district-level view, Grade Report.
  2. In the Report Options, set the Sort Order to Test RIT.

  3. Select Student Detail Display.
  4. Click Create Report.
  5. In the list of students, focus on the Percentile column. For example:

  6. Start by focusing on students performing at the 20th percentile and lower.

    Or, depending on your results, you may need to narrow the focus to students at an even lower percentile.

  7. In the Goal Performance area of the report, evaluate which areas might need intervention for the chosen students.

    Note: Consider past performance as well by generating the report for a prior term (or by generating Student Progress Reports).

  8. To further pinpoint what kinds of interventions to employ, consider additional assessment tools. For example, Skills Checklists — For kindergarten to grade 2 is available from NWEA.

  9. To check intermediate growth of selected RTI students, use the Achievement Status and Growth Report.
