RTI Model Jasmine Keller is a fourth grade student who has been monitored and reported as a student at-risk. Jasmine has a, “weak short-term memory that affects her involvement and progress in the general education curriculum in the areas of reading decoding, reading fluency, reading comprehension, spelling, and math calculations.

If given classroom assessments with a screen reader she is very successful. Her writing skills assessed to be uneven with only weak spelling skills, which is at a first or second grade level. Her problems in math are with computation skills. She has problems identifying basic addition and multiplication facts. She struggles with subtraction and regrouping, and cannot divide with out a calculator. With a calculator and explicit strategy instruction she has problem-solving skills typical of a fourth grade student.
Recommendation by Fourth Grade Team After analyzing Jasmine Keller's file, the fourth grade team at Davis Elementary School has referred her to the Response to Treatment (RTI) team with parental consent. The team has created a module used for all students with specific interventions for Jasmine. The primary goal is to help Jasmine get on to grade level for general instruction with a safety net of continual interventions and, if needed, special educational services. The team will exhaust all resources available before implementing Tier Four special educational services.
