Download or read book Effective RtI Practices School District Considerations for Successful Implementation written by Meghan W. Caylor and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent legislation, as well as over 30 years of research on assessment and instruction has caused school districts to examine the need for effective models to identify and provide services for children at risk of academic failure. Practitioners are often overwhelmed by both the breadth and scope of research available on RtI, as well as how to translate that research into practice. (Reeves, Bishop, & Filce, 2010). This paper explores the main principles of RtI: matching instruction with student need, research-based curriculum and instruction, applying a problemsolving orientation to decision making, and ensuring effective practices of fidelity and culturally responsive education. This paper also examines the pragmatic features of RtI to help districts define what RtI looks like in practice: multiple tiers, a valid assessment system, an intervention selection protocol, and research-based instruction. Further implications of RtI on special education and SLD identification are discussed. In addition, this review also examines ways to evaluate the effectiveness of RtI. Besides knowledge of RtI, this paper provides information on leading an effective systems change, and covers the topics of vision, shared leadership, consensus building, and ongoing professional development. Lastly, this review includes an analysis of what is known and unknown, and provides recommendations for school districts as well as areas of future research.

Download or read book Enhancing RTI written by Douglas Fisher and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are we missing the opportunity to reach struggling learners from the very beginning? Are we hastily—and unnecessarily— referring students to intervention programs that substitute for high-quality core instruction? What if we could eliminate the need for intervention programs in the first place? Response to Intervention (RTI) programs are only as powerful and effective as the core instruction on which they're built. High-quality instruction, then, is the key ingredient that helps all students excel, and it's at the heart of Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey's unique approach to the RTI model — Response to Instruction and Intervention, or RTI2. In Enhancing RTI, the authors argue that students learn best when classroom instruction and supplemental intervention mirror each other in both content and purpose. This book provides K-12 teachers with the knowledge and tools they need to implement a cohesive RTI2 system that helps all children learn by proactively addressing their needs. To this end, you will learn how to * Integrate and align core instruction and supplemental intervention. * Assess your own classroom instruction, in addition to your students' responses to it. * Strengthen existing school improvement efforts within an RTI2 framework. * Utilize systematic feedback to raise student achievement. Fisher and Frey maintain that the RTI2 model not only promotes active student learning, but it also, when done right, promotes a culture of hardwired excellence at all levels of instruction.
