What Is The Pre Referral Process?

When working in a school environment certain information has to be gathered about pupils, for the system to work effectively.

What evidence will you gather at the beginning of the lesson, during the lesson, and/or at the end of the lesson that will show the extent to which the students have made progress toward the academic learning objective(s)? Attach rubric or scoring guide as appropriate.

In writing this paper the author will provide her research information about on three terms UDL RTI, and what is MTSS? And expand on answering these seven questions: What role do you think the special education teacher plays in these models? What role do you think the general education teacher plays in these models? What are some of the different ways a school can structure all three of these models? What are some of the best practices or methodologies that should be applied to an RTI model? What are some of the difficulties that schools might encounter when they begin an RTI model? ‘What is your vision for the future of UDL MTSS and RTI? Lastly, how is a referral for special education different for a student who was involved in the RTI model, versus a school without this model?

Make judgments on successful completion or otherwise then giving constructive feedback in order to help further the learner or help for successful completion at a later date. A record should be made in order to track each learners progress.

Recognising that the learner’s needs are important so gathering as much understanding of the learner is important. Gathering information of student’s knowledge/understanding through an initial assessment. Learners can have literacy, numeracy and ICT skills tests prior to being accepted on the course or during the course so that understanding of any learning needs can be determined.

Counsellors have the ability to refer a client on to another service if they feel it is necessary. This report looks at the types of organisations a counsellor might refer a client to, the referral procedure, the services in which the organisation provide, why a counsellor might refer a client to this organisation and, how a counsellor can continue to support the individual.

Students can be referred by a parent but usually it is by a teacher. Once a student is referred our school psychologist discusses with the teacher(s) several strategies to work on based on the perceived problem. If the strategies do not work she does a psychological evaluation. There are several different tools used in the evaluation: Students grades, testing data, classroom observations, WISC-IV, and WJ-III ACH are the most common. There are other more specific tests used depending on the area of concern including behavior assessments, and verbal and non-verbal tests. Once the evaluation is complete they make a determination based on a 15 point discrepancy method. If it is determined that the child has a need or qualifies as learning disabled in one or more areas they have 90 days to get an IEP in place. The IEP team consists of an EC teacher, the evaluator, a regular ed classroom teacher, the principal who is the LEA representative, parent/guardian, and the student. If there is a need other people like an occupational therapist, nurse, or speech instructor are present as well. She said students were reevaluated every three years so most likely they will be reevaluated at least once while they are in high

Some of these additional resources include the time required to increase support and the skills to intervene and monitor progress (Bohanon, Goodman, & Mcintosh, 2010). The purpose of data collection in Tier 3 is “to build an intervention that will accelerate learning, monitor intervention progress, address and adjust integrity and implementation facets to maximal effects, and to evaluate the intervention effects” (VanDerHeyden & Burns, 2010, p. 12). Although Tier 3 may or may not include a referral to special education, a referral for these services is recommended for students who do not make progress, if there is any question of a

Once the information is gathered and assess the teacher can then make educational decisions on how to better take the students needs without making the student feel isolated from other who may not be on the same level as

To maximize the students’ knowledge, this mandatory meeting should be held at the beginning of the school year during the fall term.

An information letter was sent to families, making clear that the intervention would be delivered during regular class time at no cost to parents, and anonymity would be preserved. Informed consent was obtained. A week before the implementation of the program, the school’s Guidance Officer went to the each Year 6 and 7 class to administer the student’s pre-assessment package during school hours. Each question was read aloud to the group and their understanding of each item checked. Each child, then individually rated each question in their own assessment pack.

Teachers are often attributed to the problem because they typically make the initial special education referrals. Teacher perceptions are often biased and have been indicated as a contributing factor to special education disproportionality. A teacher lacks of adequate training, cultural insensitivity, and biased way of thinking may affect the referral process. Teacher differences from their students in their racial and ethnic identities, cultural, socioeconomic level, education level, and personal views can also have an impact. Although the number of students in education are increasingly a member of ethnic groups of color, poor, urban residents, and multilingual, the teaching profession is overwhelmingly European-American, female, middle class, sub- urban, and monolingual (Gay, 2002).

Students will work in collaborative groups to sort which information is needed, what can be acted out and what is not needed. (Which information do you think you can take out? Why? Is there anything you may be able to add to your part of the story? If so, why would you add it?)

Response to intervention (RTI) is an assessment procedure that consists of a multi-step approach to progressively intensive intervention and monitoring within general education for purposes of improving achievement outcomes and accurately recognizing students with learning disabilities. Components of the RTI process include universal screening, multi-tiered levels of support, evidence-based intervention, and using students' responsiveness to evaluate the status of their progress (Jenkins, Schiller, Blackorby, Thayer, & Tilly, 2013). Universal screening measures for students are not likely to result in definite identification for special education. Before students are placed they must be correctly identified with a precise assessment

In this video, I have learned how important it is to gather information about the student. Sometimes, it is hard for teachers to keep the record or observe the student because they are too focused on the lesson and teaching the content. However, a good teacher must not only teach the student but able to observe them too. In my future classroom, I will gather information about the student through various methods such as interviews and direct observations. It will be wise to have some kind of easy techniques to keep the record of the students and to organize it in the classroom. Not only that I will encourage all of the parents to keep the record of their letters, emails and any documentations to support their child when they go through the meeting like
