Download or read book Assisting School Level Teams to Identify and Address the Needs of Struggling Learners Through a Tiered Intervention and Aligned Professional Development Model written by Tammy Dionne Person and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adoption of the IDEA charged schools with the responsibility of identifying students who have disabilities and special needs and then providing them with appropriate educational services so that they progress academically. Schools have adopted, implemented, and revised a variety of screening processes to identify these students. The process of trying to help students who are experiencing difficulties is often referred to as RTI. The RTI framework is comprised of a multi-tiered educational system that outlines instructional practices based on student needs. Many schools have formed teams and devised policies to explore options for student assistance. This study involved designing and providing professional development to two school teams responsible for an RTI process for students who have been identified as being at-risk or in need of intervention for academic problems. The primary purpose of this study was to conduct an ex post facto analysis of data on the design, implementation, and effectiveness of a professional development model intended to support RTI teams of elementary educators in order to reduce the number of referrals for special education evaluation and placements. The study examined the files of 56 students enrolled in two schools. A school district designed tool to measure presence or absence of 10 components in a Student Support Team file was used for data collection. Data analysis included an ANOVA. Results indicated that an increased number of students' SST files were complete and consistent after the professional development. Results lend support to the premise that aligning professional development to address real school issues would be an effective strategy to consider when challenging school issues arise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of students in the United States consistently perform below proficiency on National Mathematics Assessments (National Assessment of Educational Progress [NAEP], 2019).

This guide provides critical information, practical strategies, and evidenced-based interventions about middle school mathematics instruction within MTSS. It offers an array of ways to use this highly effective framework to meet the needs of students who struggle with mathematics.

Download or read book Unconditional Education written by Robin Detterman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of reform, America's public schools continue to fail particular groups of students; the greatest opportunity gaps are faced by those whose achievement is hindered by complex stressors, including disability, trauma, poverty, and institutionalized racism. When students' needs overwhelm the neighborhood schools assigned to serve them, they are relegated to increasingly isolated educational environments. Unconditional Education (UE) offers an alternate approach that transforms schools into communities where all students can thrive. It reduces the need for more intensive and costly future remediation by pairing a holistic, multi-tiered system of supports with an intentional focus on overall culture and climate, and promotes systematic coordination and integration of funding and services by identifying gaps and eliminating redundancies to increase the efficient allocation of available resources. This book is an essential resource for mental health and educational stakeholders (i.e., school social workers, therapists, teachers, school administrators, and district-level leaders) who are interested in adopting an unconditional approach to supporting the students within their schools.
