Point Calculations

19. 19
Move Points
 1 Move = 1 point
 Over 2 year time period

20. 20
Attendance Points
 0-9 absences = 0 points
 10 absences = 1 point
 15 absences = 1 point
 20 absences = 1 point
 And on…

21. 21
Suspension Points
 In School Suspension = 1 point
 Out of School Suspension = 2 point

22. 22
Assessment Points
 Most Recent Assessment
 Advanced Scoring = 0 point
 Proficient Scoring = 0 point
 Basic Scoring = 1 point
 Below Basic = 2 point

23. 23
Course Grades by Rating Period
 Secondary only
 Most Recent Rating Period
 D = 1 point
 F = 2 point

24. 24
Total RtI Points
 Points subtotaled by (adding shortly):
 Behavioral- Moves, Attendance, Discipline
 Academic-Assessments and Course Grades
 High Points = High Area of Concern
 Low Points = Low Area of Concern

Deborah Hartman
Director of Special Education Allentown SD
"Everyone tells educators "work smarter, not
harder" as they wrestle to manage all the new
regulations and educational innovations. A group of
educators applied their technology skills and
educational background to do just that.
The TetraData Custom Report system assists
colleague educators by putting meaningful bits of
data at their fingertips. Tetra Data Custom Reports,
developed by the Accountability and Assessment
Dept , has the potential to help school systems,
large and small, to virtually track student
performance indicators and sort at-risk learners to
the most able learner within seconds. This system
gets an A+ for its teacher friendly appeal as the
District embarks on the new framework of Response
to Intervention."

Tom Smith
Lead Reading Teacher: Cleveland Elementary
The RTI (Response to Intervention) is a powerful and
promising approach to data analysis. It can provide a
useful measure of the impact of interventions. Perhaps
more importantly, it could be used longitudinally to
anticipate and prevent problems.
If a student’s score rises significantly, a counselor could
investigate and help connect the student with
appropriate services before the student reaches a crisis
stage. A school district that is constantly putting out
fires could be transformed into one that anticipates and
prevents problems.
