When do you start the timer on the Oral Reading Fluency Measure?
As soon as they say the first word

If a student fails to make progress in spite of tier 2 supports, what level of additional support is then provided for that student?
Tier 3 instructional support
200
If the smiley face on the box plot represents a student's score, what tier of services would that student receive?

If you want to progress monitor a 6th grader's oral reading fluency, can you alternate between using 6th grade DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency and 6th grade AIMSweb RCBM passages each measurement? Why or why not?
No; research has gone into making DIBELS passages of equivalent difficulty to DIBELS passages and AIMSweb passages of equivalent difficulty to AIMSweb passages, but they are not of equivalent difficulty to one another. Raw scores may vary drastically.

POWERPOINT SLIDE 97 How many kids in this class should be receiving tier 2 intervention supports?
6 - All kids get tier 1 supports, kids in tier 2 get tier 1 and tier 2 supports, and kids in tier 3 get supports at each tier. So the kids in yellow and red all receive tier 2 supports, but the kids in red are getting additional supports in tier 3.

POWERPOINT SLIDE 96 Student A is reading at the 25th percentile in the fall. Student B is reading at the 10th percentile in the fall. In order for both students to end the year at their current respective percentile ranks, which student needs to have a higher rate of improvement?
Student A 25th percentile ROI: 1.2 10th percentile ROI: 0.9 A student at the 25th percentile needs to improve by an average of 1.2 words per minute per week to stay at the 25th percentile. A student at the 10th percentile only needs to improve by 0.9. This shows that the reading gap between the high and low achieving students is widening among the 140,000 kids collected for this sample.

In the fall, your AIMSweb data shows that your class has 20 kids in tier 1, 5 kids in tier 2, and 3 kids in tier 3. In the winter, your AIMSweb data shows that 10 of your tier 1 kids are now in tier 2, all 5 of your tier 2 kids are now in tier 1, and all 3 of your tier 3 kids are now in tier 2. You should probably focus your efforts on improving instruction at which tier?
Tier 1 (Your tier 2 and 3 kids are making improvements and requiring less support, but your tier 1 kids are slipping through the cracks and falling into tier 2)
