Response To Intervention (RTI)
Response to Intervention (RTI) has been a topic that hos gotten much attention in the world of education. When students must wait for special services, they lose valuable time waiting for additional support from school teaching teams. In this review on RTI, I will discuss material found in three separate articles. These articles helped me to further understand what RTI is, the correct way to use it and how it can be quite effective in lessening the need for special services.

Despite skillful, engaging and effective lessons, a child struggles daily to complete practice work and assessments. This child may or may not need special services. A best case scenario would be that he does not need services. Rather than wait for determination of services …show more content…
Essentially Tier 1 is whole class, Tier 2 Small Group Interventions and finally, Tier 3 which is Individual Intervention. Say, for instance if the same lower elementary teacher reassessed her students again and found that one was still not benefiting from the appropriate interventions. This would then be the time to consider tier 3. What a benefit it is that this particular student has still been given extra support before being referred to special …show more content…
Those other lower elementary students are doing okay, now that the teacher has zoned in on particular concepts and given a more targeted instruction. Those students could have very easily become candidates for special services as they fell behind cumulatively each school year. Thankfully only one student is in need of intense individual services. While this situation is hypothetical, the concept of “Wait to Fail” is a real one. Children who are struggling could benefit from a little help and never need services. However, if they never get that help, they will continue to fall behind. They don’t need services because they can’t learn; they need services because they were not given the appropriate opportunities to do so. (Baffum, Matto, Webber

    1.1 Exercise 1 Enacting The Action Research Cycle

    In every school across the nation, there are students who are at-risk. As early as kindergarten, differences in students’ learning styles and academic abilities are apparent. Factors that influence these differences are previous formal schooling experiences, parental involvement, and exposure to basic language, math, and reading skills. Therefore, the question was not “Do we have students that are at-risk?” But rather, “Which students are at-risk and what interventions do we need to implement to provide additional support to the student and the regular education classroom teacher?” To answer this question, my principal, assistant principal, resource teachers, and classroom teachers collaborated and created an RTI (Response To Intervention) committee. The committee’s purpose was to create a plan that every teacher could use to: identify at-risk students, implement suggested strategies, collect data on student progress, involve parents, and monitor student progress continuously to reevaluate the effectiveness of each students’…

    Voice Of Inclusion From My Friend Ro Jargo Analysis

    I am a witness to that statement because it helped my sons tremendously. They did not feel as if they were different and I saw an improvement in their behavior and grades. In the article by Rosalind & Joe Vargo, “inclusion prompted Ro's self-actualization, self-determination, and self-acceptance and her growing belief that there is nothing that she cannot do” (2016). Nonetheless, someone that may need special attention at schools need to also have the support of both parents or caregiver, as well as the teachers. Authors of School Inclusion and Classroom Management: Challenges and Possibilities, R. Carneiro, M. Acqua, and P. Caramori (2016), says, “it is certain that the regular teacher, that is not used to working with target-students from special education programs, needs specialized support for the implementation of adjustments to his/her pedagogical practice” (pg. 2039). The fact is there are many students that may need special attention and care. Therefore, with inclusive classrooms these students can feel like they belong because they do. With the resilience of the student, and the support of loved ones. The supported care of teachers and staff working together it is…

    Field Experience Paper

    To fulfill my three-hour field experience, I observed in Kristen Yenchak’s Emotional Support (BASD) classroom at Bloomsburg Middle School, on September 21, 2016 from 11:00am – 3:00pm. Kristen Yenchak’s classroom was made up of nine students ranging from sixth to eighth grade. There were also two paraprofessionals in the classroom to help students when they came to the class and also go and assist students while they are in general education classes. By having two paraprofessionals and one teacher in the classroom it allowed for the class to have instructional sizes of 1:1 or 1:3. All nine students except for one student only came to the class for homeroom, one other period of the day, and right before dismissal. The only other time these students…

    “A formal referral to special services is only justified after it has been determined that a child’s behavior and performance cannot be explained solely by language or cultural differences, the acculturation process or the learning environment. Determining whether or not children who are culturally and linguistically diverse should be referred to special services will require more than observing and testing the child in the classroom” (Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Special Education,…

    No Child Left Behind

    The No Child Left Behind Act has stacked the deck against schools with special needs. At this point in time with the 2004 elections right around the corner, it seems that this Act is taking a lot of criticism for it's rigid approach to the educational progress of our children today. No Child Left Behind has some wonderful goals and aspirations: to "close the student achievement gap, make public schools accountable, set standards of excellence for every child, and put a qualified teacher in every classroom". (http://www.NCLB.gov) In this paper I will be discussing how this new law closes "the student achievement gap" and setting "standards of excellence for every child" using some of the psychological principles that we have covered in this course. Also I will be addressing some of the flaws that this law has by not addressing some of the theories of psychological developments discussed in our text.…
