i. The S-Team and the teachers at Rosa Parks have decided that, in addition to providing the high-quality core reading program, Tier 1 instructors are to monitor all students’ progress on a weekly basis. This decision is based on research demonstrating that the simple use of progress monitoring improves students’ results. Therefore, everyone in Mrs. Hernandez’s class receives Tier 1 reading instruction, and the students’ scores are graphed so that Mrs. Hernandez can use them to determine whether the students need additional help. The data for the five struggling students, however, are being evaluated more carefully to determine whether Tier 1 instruction is sufficiently effective. After monitoring the data for eight weeks, Megan now shows adequate progress, and she doesn’t require additional instruction. But the progress monitoring data for DeJuan, Ryan, LaToya, and Jack indicate that they are still struggling.
