Dear Brandons Parents,

1. After assessing Brandon via the Universal Screener, your son

is performing below grade level expectations and has made
average growth in mathematics. Below is a graph that illustrates
Brandons test scores between Test A, Test B, and the class
average.
As you can see on the graph, his progress is below that of the
class average in both Test A and Test B. We know this because
the lines representing Brandons progress are shorter than that of
line representing the class average.
2. It seems that the most significant problem area for Brandon is
within measurement & data concepts. A few of the sub skills that
we will target in Brandons intervention plan include telling time,
measuring volume and mass, and perimeter and area concepts.
Since he is also struggling with his Base Ten comprehension,
were planning to target whole numbers and their operational
properties. We chose to target these areas because they are
important when developing life skills, computational skills, and
higher mathematical thinking.

4.Considering the scores collected after four weeks, it is clear that
the intervention plan is not reaching the goals we had hoped it
would. Brandon failed to obtain an 80% in any of the probes he
was given.
There is not much consistency to Brandons performance on
these probes - a trait that represents mastery of a concept.
Therefore, we recommend that Brandon be transferred into a
more intensive intervention program. It seems that these pull-out
sessions are not enough to give him the extensive instruction he
requires. If these pull-out sessions were successful, Brandon
would be achieving at least an average of 80% in the probes. It is
necessary that Brandon continues in his schools RTI program,
and we hope that a new, more rigorous intervention plan will be
created to help Brandon achieve grade level expectations in the
areas of measurement & data and Base Ten comprehension.
