Response to Intervention Analysis: Comparative Effectiveness of Instructional Interventions for Student Reading Progress
Overview
This paper analyzes the effectiveness of Response to Intervention (RTI) instructional approaches for three students through graphical trend analysis. The author compares student progress against goal lines to determine intervention effectiveness and recommends adjustments to instruction and tier placement based on performance trajectories.
What this coursework covers
- Jessica's Graph analysis showing ineffective intervention with flat trend line requiring instructional revision
- Nathan's Graph demonstrating moderate improvement with positive trend line but still below goal line targets
- Michael's Graph showing excellent progress exceeding goal line with recommendation for upward goal adjustment

Jessica’s Graph
Based on graphical representation, Jessica's progress is not improving because the horizontal trend signifies zero changes or improvement. The number of weeks under instruction does not positively influence the number of words read correctly. Based on the goal line of the instruction, the performance of Jessica, even under instruction, was poor. This affirms that the intervention is ineffective and cannot achieve the desired goals. In this regard, there is a need to revise the instruction or intervention model and consider moving tiers in order to attain the results. This requires re-evaluation of the instruction approaches and ensure that Jessica’s mode of interventions improves her condition as the weeks of instruction increase.

Nathan’s Graph
The trend line shows that Nathan is improving after several weeks of instruction. This affirms that the instructions have been effective in achieving the desired goals. In this regard, the intervention chosen is achieving the intended goals, which can be seen by the positivity of the trendline. However, since the trend line is still flatter compared to the goal line, there is a need to revise the instruction and ensure that it is effective in meeting the goal. There is a need to change the tiers and improvise proper approaches that can assist in achieving the desired goals.

Michael’s Graph
From the graphical representation, we can see that the trend line is steeper than the goal line.
