ETHAN’S CASE STUDY 3 Standard Protocol Model vs. Problem-Solving Model In RTI, Tier I reading instruction is effective for the majority of students. However, in cases such as Ethan Smith’s, strategic and effective interventions are essential for struggling readers to properly develop their literacy skills. In such cases, reading interventions that is more specific than general instruction is necessary. These students require interventions that are tailored to the individual needs of each student, such as focusing on areas of difficulty, and providing various strategies and interventions to support their reading development. In the standard protocol RTI model similar interventions are used for all students. Conversely, in the problem- solving RTI model “the general education teacher, along with other members od the RTI committee, evaluate the student’s performance through permanent products, grades, attendance, and information form parents and school records to determine (a) the intervention that will be most effective, (b) who will carry out the intervention, and (c) what materials will be used.” (Overton, 2016, pg.144-145). Interventions specific to that student are used and then monitored in the problem-solving RTI model. Therefore, following the problem-solving model, it is necessary to analyze Ethan Smith’s weaknesses as evidenced by the miscue analysis, feedback from his mother, and the data collected during the ten-week Tier II interventions. By assessing his weaknesses, specific interventions to meet those deficits can be found. There are numerous reading interventions available, however ones that are specific to Ethan’s weaknesses will be most effective for him. What are the student’s weaknesses in reading as identified from the case study? According to the case study, Ethan’s mother stated that she noticed Ethan could not break a word into smaller parts.
