    RTI PAPER

    As America’s educational system continues to strengthen and develop, a focus on individualized instruction and intervention within the regular education classroom has been brought forth in an attempt to keep struggling students from falling behind. This specific additional instruction and intervention, known as Response to Intervention in most states (RtI), is not only viewed as a push towards the improvement of education for all students, but is also being used as the means by which decisions regarding a student’s special education eligibility is based upon. However, for such a program to ultimately be beneficial, it will be up to the schools to ensure that the education professionals are putting forth significant effort in using the most appropriate type of intervention for that specific student. It will be the RtI team’s duty to define the student’s problem, plan an intervention, implement the intervention, and regularly evaluate the student’s progress (Martinez & Young, 2011, p. 44). Various interventions should be attempted if the scheduled improvement is not initially apparent.…

    Emotional Disturbance Analysis

    Commission on Excellence in Special Education (2002) stated that “post-school success is the ultimate indicator of school reform” (p. 45), this is challenging schools to ensure that students with disabilities are adequately equipped with the skills and supports needed for adult life. It is important to implement strategies that address the needs of the individual with Emotional Disturbance. Relative to peers without disabilities, students with ED experience elevated dropout rates, diminished rates of participation in postsecondary education, higher levels of un- employment and underemployment, lower rates of civic and community participation and higher rates of incarceration. These post-school outcomes serve as indicators that students with ED may have skill and performance deficits in academic, social, and behavioral domains that hinder their transition from school to adult life. The statistical trends that were researched are bothersome regarding students with ED. Students with ED receive education in a segregated environment away from their non-disabled peers, as an employee of Visalia Unified there is a school specific to those individuals who cannot attend general education classroom, ED students have the highest rates of suspensions and…

    The Popularity of Teachers

    Teacher education is a commonly studied predictor of quality in early childhood classrooms and it has been consistently associated with teacher effectiveness in early childhood classrooms (Bowman et al., 2001; de Kruif et al., 2000; Helburn et al., 1995). Teachers can be popular just because they are friendly and helpful, but to be truly professional and effective they need other qualities. Students may not be able to put their finger on just why one teacher is more effective than another but we need to be able to identify the skills and behavior we require in a true professional. Teachers can be popular just because they are friendly and helpful, but to be truly professional and effective they need other qualities. Students may not be able to put their finger on just why one teacher is more effective than another but we need to be able to identify the skills and behavior we require in a true professional. Proper preparation is another crucial requirement of professionalism. When the teacher enters the classroom s/he should have all the required materials and the lesson plan ready. Nothing is sloppier than poor preparation.…
