netRTI Benefits to Administrators
Recent changes in our nation's federal education laws have encouraged school districts to provide additional support for struggling K-12 students. While a common method of providing this support is the Response to Intervention (RtI) process, its effectiveness has been hindered by a lack of effective tools to help educators manage this time and data-intensive process - until now.
netRTI is Proof that Netchemia Understands
netRTI has already been tested and proven as a successful progress monitoring and tracking solution within K-12 districts. Since its eagerly awaited, official release, school districts have been quickly signing on to the join the growing community of districts looking to create a simplified and effective way to manage RtI.
In collaboration with educators, we have found, in order for a district-wide software solution to truly be successfully implemented, it needs to:
- use a language and process that is familiar to district administrators and staff
- be easy to learn and easy to use for staff of all levels
- take the district to a new pinnacle of success
netRTI is based on these core integration techniques yielding a natural, district-wide acceptance.
1. Highly Configurable
The highly configurable design of the system allows district administrators straightforward access to tailor the system to district needs by managing common codes and intervention language.
With netRTI, you have the ability to create, modify or remove:
- informative documents located in a single location for staff access
- auto text for staff documentation
- at risk items, 3 tier interventions
- common codes, buildings
- staff records and student records
2. Easy Implementation and Launch
netRTI offers fast and easy implementation into school districts through an "easy to learn, easy to use" program layout. Users are proven to quickly learn how netRTI works and how to work with it with minimal training.
Netchemia will work closely with your team to ensure a smooth transition into netRTI.
Moreover, providing your district's authorized users with secure access to documentation from anywhere the internet is available furthers this concept of a convenient yet powerful solution that will be embraced by the entire district.
3. A Powerful RtI Management and Reporting Solution
Based on RtI core principles, netRTI follows a model of prevention, not failure and considers children with disabilities as children of general education first. If a referral to special education is needed, the electronic record created inside netRTI can seamlessly become part of the qualification documentation for students referred to Special Education.
This elimination of the paper process also eliminates the potential for loss of information as students move from grade to grade or building to building. The ability to collect data and graphically display goals and progress generates increased accountability and student achievement.
Teachers and Administrators can run standardized reports or easily create ad hoc reports to view the information they need at a glance. Use graphical data to enhance communication for teachers, parents or administrators regarding:
- a child's individual intervention plan
- the performance of a segmented group of students
- building or district-wide program goals and progress
The powerful yet effortless reporting within netRTI gives your team advanced tools to:
- intelligently monitor performance and issues before they become unmanageable
- quickly identify and intervene in the education of struggling learners
- use data to apply problem solving methods and make decisions
- monitor student progress frequently
- improve identification and referral of students for special education
