RTI (Click to enlarge)

Mathematics
RTI is based on three principles: school-wide screening, progress monitoring and tiered program delivery, and fidelity of implementation.

While the philosophy behind RTI is applauded by most educators, its implementation is often accompanied by excessive paperwork and record keeping.
The features built into the Eduss math program not only greatly reduce these extra burdens placed on teachers, but streamline each of the three principles of RTI mentioned above.

School-wide screening
The assessment module within the math program provides an effective and accurate screening mechanism. Assessments can be set for different parameters: global groupings of students, groupings by grade level, or any other sub-grouping the school may see as appropriate to gather the necessary data. In addition, the math topics to be assessed can be global by grade level, global by topic level (assess students’ ability in all operations of fractions), or by individually selected sub-topics (say, adding fractions with different denominators).

In short, the assessment engine provides teachers with flexibility in the number and grouping of the students to be assessed, and also in the array of topics or sub-topics to be assessed.

As students move through their assessments, their work is instantly scored and recorded. Not only does this save teacher-time in scoring and collating student data, it also provides teachers with a comprehensive array of data that can be used to judge student performance. The Eduss whole-class, or whole-school printable reports provide criterion-referenced reports and also a normative comparison with peer students. This is all done instantaneously without time-consuming paper work. The data-driven Eduss program facilitates simple and streamlined assignment of students to their different tiers of intervention.

Progress monitoring
Once a student has completed an assessment using the Eduss assessment engine, the program automatically compiles a tutorial based on the individual student’s results in the assessment. This tutorial is remedial in its nature. It provides student feedback after each question is completed. In addition, the tutorial module provides help in two ways. Firstly, the student has access to a virtually unlimited number of worked examples of the type of exercise s/he may be having difficulty with. Secondly, inbuilt targeted narrated teaching slides provide step-by-step instruction on how to master the concept or exercise type the student is working on.

The Eduss progress reports that are automatically generated as students gradually move through the remediation tutorial provide comparative “before and after” data, tabulating original assessment scores side-by-side with tutorial scores. All elements of the report are date and time stamped. In fact, the Eduss assessment/tutorial engine and its simultaneously generated reports are specifically designed to make RTI an very effective and workable educational methodology.

Another report or tool included in the Eduss program lets the tutor time-manage and monitor each student’s progress through his/her intervention tutorial. This can be done because the program generates an estimated time it would take the student to complete his/her entire intervention tutorial. On the basis of this, tutors can adjust the time spent per week by the student on the intervention program or adjust the due date for completion. This not only allows tutors to time-manage each student’s intervention program so they fit into class or school events, but the graphical progress report allows the tutor to quickly monitor student progress to see if they are on-target, falling behind, or ahead of their intervention schedule.
The program stores all the student-generated data mentioned above, so that when a student moves to the next grade level, or moves to another class or sub-grouping within the school or district, his/her reports automatically follow.

Fidelity of implementation
The fidelity of RTI implementation really depends on the teacher. Factors that detract from the fidelity of implementation such as complexity of the system of intervention, effectiveness of the intervention, extra work imposed on the teacher etc., are not issues when using the Eduss system. In fact, the screening assessment, the individualized learning plan, additional paperwork, scoring, and collating data are all done by the software. Each module of the Eduss program assists the teacher to implement an effective and efficient RTI program that benefits students at each tier level.

English (grammar, punctuation, supplemental comprehension)
RTI is based on three principles: school-wide screening, progress monitoring and tiered program delivery, and fidelity of implementation.
While the philosophy behind RTI is applauded by most educators, its implementation is often accompanied by excessive paperwork and record keeping.
The features built into the Eduss English program not only greatly reduce these extra burdens placed on teachers, but streamline each of the three principles of RTI mentioned above.

School-wide screening
The assessment module within the English program provides an effective screening mechanism. Assessments can be set for different parameters: global groupings of students, groupings by grade level, or any other sub-grouping of students the school may see as appropriate to gather the necessary data. In addition, the English topics to be assessed can be global by grade level, or by individual topics/sub-topics selected by the teacher to target specific content (say, nouns, and adjectives).

In short, the assessment engine provides teachers with flexibility in the number and groupings of the students to be assessed, and also in the array of topics to be assessed.

As students move through their assessments, their work is instantly scored and recorded.

Once a student has completed an assessment using the Eduss assessment engine, the program automatically compiles a tutorial based on the individual student’s results in the assessment. This tutorial is remedial in its nature. It provides student feedback after each question is completed. In addition, the tutorial module provides help by way of inbuilt narrated teaching slides which give step-by-step instruction on how to master the concept or exercise type the student is working on.

Phonics & prereading
RTI is based on three principles: school-wide screening, progress monitoring and tiered program delivery, and fidelity of implementation.
While the philosophy behind RTI is applauded by most educators, its implementation is often accompanied by excessive paperwork and record keeping.
The features built into the Eduss English program not only greatly reduce these extra burdens placed on teachers, but streamline each of the three principles of RTI mentioned above.

School-wide screening
The assessment module within the phonics-to-reading program provides an effective screening mechanism for the essentials of phonics, phonological awareness and mapping sounds and combined sounds to letter/s. Assessments can be set to test all letter/sound knowledge and awareness, or targeted for sub-groups such as the short vowels or final consonant digraphs, or syllable formation, syllabic stress patterns, etc.

In short, the assessment engine provides teachers with flexibility in the number and groupings of the students to be assessed, and also in the array of topics to be assessed.

As students move through their assessments, their work is instantly scored and recorded. Not only does this save teacher-time in scoring and collating student data, it also provides teachers with a comprehensive array of data that can be used to judge student performance. This is all done instantaneously without time-consuming paper work. The data-driven Eduss program facilitates simple and streamlined assignment of students to their different tiers of intervention.

Progress monitoring
Once a student has completed an assessment using the Eduss assessment engine, the program can be used to provide targeted instruction and formative assessment to remediate the student through learning gaps identified in the assessment.

The Eduss program automatically tracks the student’s progress and provides the teacher with the reporting data that is an integral component of the RTI methodology.

The program stores all the student-generated data mentioned above, so that when a student moves to the next grade level, or moves to another class or sub-grouping within the school or district, his/her reports automatically follow.

Fidelity if RTI implementation really depends on the teacher.
