1. Relation between Common Core
Standard and Response to
Intervention

2. Common Core
 Common Core Standards was designed for career
and college readiness.
 It highlights the areas of reading, writing, language
and speaking
 It integrates reading, writing, science and social
studies (making thematic units available).
 Raises the bar for what students should know by 12th
grade

3. RtI and CCSS
 RtI focuses on whether the students are responding
to the instruction.
 Because Common Core is being adapted by many
states it is important to know how that will affect RtI.
 According to the article by Karen K. Wixson &
Marjorie Y. Lipson many changes will occur.

4. RtI and CCSS
 For example it is clear that teachers look at the “big five”
to evaluate students
1. Phonemic awareness
2. Phonics
3. Fluency
4. Vocabulary
5. Comprehension
Now the first 3 are under the “foundational skills” which is
focused in grade k-5 and vocabulary is under the
language strand while comprehension is everywhere.

5. RtI and CCSS
 New assessments are being introduced and there’s
an emphasis on higher order skills, increased
content knowledge, and ability to engage with
complex texts
 Students will be tested by reading writing and orally
proving they understand.
 The IRA’s goal is to intervene early so that students
can be a part of the CCSS curriculum.

6. Take a look
 Take a look at the following article. It gives
information on the beginning of CCSS and what it
will mean for RtI.
