This book was released on 2016 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of Tennessee's Response to Instruction and Intervention (RTI2) framework were evaluated to determine the impact on one middle Tennessee public school district. General education teacher's beliefs, student achievement, and special education referral and eligibility data was assessed before, during, and after implementation. Results indicate that teacher's beliefs were mixed and varied according to the time participants were surveyed. Significant achievement differences were found on TVAAS math fifth grade, TVAAS reading fourth grade, and STAR reading and math scores. Practical significance was noted for students referred and made eligible for special education. A recommendation that RTI & sup2; supports student achievement and decrease special education services was derived, while teacher's indicated a greater need for implementation support.

Download or read book Implementing Evidence Based Academic Interventions in School Settings written by Sylvia Rosenfield and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-26 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed for both researchers and practitioners, this book is a guide to bridging the gap between the knowledge generated by scientific research and application of that knowledge to educational practice. With the emphasis on evidence-based practice in the schools growing exponentially, school practitioners must learn how to understand, judge, and make use of the research being produced to full effect. Conversely, researchers must understand what is being used in "real-world" settings, and what is still needed. The editors of this book have outlined this process as a series of steps, beginning with being a critical consumer of current research literature, followed by concepts to consider in translating research into practice: systems issues at local, district, and state levels; the role of teachers in program implementation; evaluation of implementation effectiveness, and preservice and inservice professional development of teachers and psychologists. Each chapter is written by leaders on the topic, and contributors include both researchers and school-based practitioners. With contributing authors from a variety of disciplines, this book is an invaluable treatise on current understanding of the complexities of translating research into educational practice.
Download or read book The Effect of Implementation of a Response to Intervention Model on Student Achievement Special Education Referrals and Special Education Eligibility written by Joseph Anthony Kucera and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to determine what, if any, differences existed in student achievement in reading for an elementary school employing a Response to Intervention (RTI) process in reading instruction and an elementary school using the school district's regular reading instructional program, and (b) to determine what, if any, differences existed between the two elementary schools related to the proportion of students referred for, and deemed eligible for, special education services. The performance of third-grade students at two elementary schools within the same central Texas school district, Elementary School 1 (employing a locally developed RTI process) and Elementary School 2 (employing the district's standard reading curriculum and standard referral process) was studied. The 2007 Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) third-grade reading scores were obtained from the district's Elementary Curriculum Department. The number of special education referrals and diagnostic decisions for each elementary school were obtained from the district's Instructional Services Office at the completion of the 2006-2007 school year. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance, and Fisher's z Test. Results indicated that the RTI process did not have an effect on student reading achievement, the proportion of students referred to special education, or the proportion of students found eligible for special education services. The failure to find an effect for RTI may be attributed to the limited time and experience that the teachers had in implementing the RTI process, the restricted range of achievement test scores, and the fact that the study was limited to third-grade students.
