Response To Intervention Model

This paper focuses on the Response to Intervention. As educators we are hearing RTI more frequently in the school districts than ever before. Many educators and state officials agree that all teachers should know and get to know the benefits and importance of RTI. The most crucial aspect to know is the RTI takes place into the regular childhood classroom; this is not something that just special education teachers need to know. This paper explains the purpose and a brief history of RTI. The paper offers ways that it is beneficial for school districts to implement this research based program. However, as in many systems there are always challenges, the paper briefly discusses some of the challenges that educators

Response to Intervention (RTI) is an in school service program designed to guarantee that all students are getting a high quality education. Before students are referred for special education services, it is essential that they receive effective teaching designed to meet their own learning requirements. All students in public schools are required to be included in the RTI program.

Response to Intervention (RtI) is a “data-driven and structured procedure for analyzing students’ learning problems” (Friend 49). The purpose of RtI is to use a systematic approach of increasing interventions for students in order to determine if a student has a learning disability. IRtI is a great program for school to use to help students but it is not mandated by IDEA.

Response to Intervention (RTI) is a three-tiered system that provides for increasingly interventions as students move upward through the tiers. The first tier involves all students on a campus. During this tier, all students are provided with effective instruction using research-based teaching and learning strategies. Students are benchmarked at the beginning, middle, and end of each year. About 65%-75% of all students respond to the initial tier of interventions and no further intervention is required. Tier 2 interventions take place in small groups and are in addition to the interventions of Tier 1. The areas of weakness are targeted, and instruction may be provided by the general education teacher or other school personnel. Student progress

Response to Intervention (RtI) is a framework based off the problem solving method that integrates assessment, and targeted instruction, within a multi-tiered intervention system. Implementation of RtI in schools is crucial to identify which students need additional intervention that will help increase their literacy skills, and prevent them from falling behind. RtI is based off multi-leveled tiers that are each categorized by the intensity of the intervention that is being used. The RtI framework is also used as a valued tool in monitoring and improving student behavior in the classroom through a model known as Positive Behavioral Intervention Support (PBIS).

In this webinar the presenters focus on ELLs and RTI. The first key word is the evidence based assessment and curriculum. The focus of RTI is preventions and maximizing student’s achievement and students are growing academically. The goals are for all students to meet their highest potential and use general education. Sheltered instruction is part of the core curriculum. The core curriculum is meeting at least 80% on each sub group.

The author of the article also ascertain that the practice is an effective one since the RTI practice is capable of matching researched-based interventions that are of high quality to the behavioral and educational needs of the students. The practice also uses the concept of monitoring the progress used in assessing need for the require changes in goals or instructions, and finally, the practice may also include the additional tiers for the purpose of instructional intensity or if possible even to be eligible for special education (Rose & Howley,

The intervention model we use in our school is RTI. With Response to Intervention the instruction that as a function of the outcomes of the assessments. RTI drives changes in hopes to see in students succeed, who are identified at some level of risk for not meeting academic expectations. Tiered instruction represents a model in which the instruction delivered to students varies and are related to the nature and severity of the student's difficulties. This model is sub divided by 3 tiers:

Response to intervention (RTI) is a multi-tier approach that identifies and support students with learning disabilities and behavioral issues. RTI is designed for early intervention in struggling children, to provide appropriate instruction, and prevention of special education. The multi-tier approach of RTI consists of multiple levels. The most common used approach is the three-tier model. There are different levels of intervention, which is determined on the specific needs of the student. RTI is considered a dynamic assessment an approach that emphasizes the learning process and is based on the test-intervention-retest model (Cohen, Swerdlik, and Sturman, 2013). Dependent on the child’s response to instruction, the level of intervention will increase and intensify. The three levels of RTI consist of: Tier 1- The whole class, is focused on academically. All students are screened for at risk of failing, teacher uses instruction and intervention, and progress of all students are monitored through assessment. Tier 2- Small group interventions- In addition to the normal classroom setting and instruction, children that do not respond to Tier 1 will move to this level. The child will be placed in small groups with instruction, teacher will monitor progress through assessment, as well has parent involvement at home. Tier 3- Intensive Intervention- this level is the

RtI (Response to Intervention) is a seamless system of continuous, meaningful, and research-based interventions for struggling learners, anchored in high quality, culturally and linguistically responsive instruction and assessments. The purpose of RtI is to provide all students with the best opportunities to succeed in school, identify students with learning or behavioral problems, and ensure that they receive appropriate instruction and related supports. The role of the support team is to identify and analyze the problem and recommend interventions that have proven successful with other struggling students. The classroom teacher is asked to modify instruction, implementing the suggested strategies and then carefully monitor

Response to Intervention/Instruction (RTI) is a new way of helping to address some of the academic issues that middle schools across the United States are facing. RTI is a tool that several middle schools have tried out and many are still wondering about. It has become known for its sense of urgency in addressing struggling students’ needs right away. Students that need help with a subject matter no longer have to wait for assistance, get individually pulled out of class and get further and further behind, and /or have to feel alone.

The Response to Intervention (RTI) process was instituted as part of the 2004 Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) (Johnston, 2010). The law allowed states to spend some of the funds earmarked for special education on general classroom instructional practices in the hopes that these additional supports would decrease the number of students referred for special education and distinguish students with learning disabilities so that they could get the educational assistance they need in a timely fashion (Johnston, 2010). This represented a departure from the previous manner by which students with learning disabilities were identified, that being the discrepancy model (Johnston, 2010). This paper will outline the RTI process by following the

I was able to interview Mr. West, the school counselor, at my placement about Response to Intervention (RtI). He stated that they use three different forms of intervention utilizing the three tier program. The first tier is started by the student’s teacher. She assesses the student and fills out paperwork that states the specific disability and what extra help she is providing. She will also document any health concerns, attendance issues and the best time to see the disability. She will then have the nurse process a vision and hearing test. If the student fails this exam then the RtI process is stopped until the student is seen by a doctor for these problems. If they pass the RtI process continues and the teacher must observe the student

It is my opinion that Response to Intervention is an excellent model for school districts to adopt and implement. This article was very detailed and informative. The descriptions of RTI and the three tiers were explicit. The authors left no room for confusion. I was asked this past school year to do RTI tutoring at Brookland Jr. High. I didn’t really understand what it was because I had never heard of this model before. After reading this article, I realized that I was serving as the tier-II interventionist. I worked with students one on one outside of the classroom for 30 minutes one day a week. I wish now that I had read this article before I began so I would have known better what my role was in the student’s

Response to Intervention is a program that is often viewed as an alternative to special education services because of it focuses on academic, behavioral, and socioemotional problems (Dougherty, 2014, p 293). Also, it used as a “data-based process to establish, implemented, and evaluate interventions that are designed” to improve the outcomes of human services (Dougherty, 2014, p 294In hopes of helping school wide problems a multitiered program is establish that “involves universal, targeted and intensive levels of intervention, assessment and exactness” (Dougherty, 2014, p 294). Tier one is dedicate to the entire student body and has a list of objectives that must be met. Tier two is dedicated to those students who show a significant risk of
