It is imperative that schools work to provide learning opportunities and supports for all students. Social emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which social-emotional competence develops. Through SEL, children and youth acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships and make responsible decisions (Weissberg et al., 2015). In order to address and teach social emotional skills, there must be systematic implementation within the school setting. The use of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) is a school-wide, three-tiered approach for providing academic, behavioral and social supports to all students based on their needs and skills (Cook, et. al., 2015, Harlacher, et, al., 2014; Sugai & Horner, 2009; Sugai & Simonsen, 2012). Using the Muli-Tiered System of Supports, student support teams can better align programs to better meet student needs, thus improving student achievement and behavior. The study explored social behavior, academic behavior, and emotional behavior in 9th and 10th grade students from a rural high school in a mid-size Midwestern city. The study population includes 180 participants in a high school using ANCOVA analysis comparisons. The survey administered in the study is the Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener (SAEBRS) screening tool from Illuminate Education to identify students for participation in a Tier 2 Student Support Group. One hundred Tier 2 identified students participated in a six-session intervention Student Support Group. Sixty-eight identified students did not receive the intervention services. An ANCOVA analysis was conducted to determine the influence of the Tier 2 Group Intervention on students who were identified with risk factors compared to those who did not receive the intervention. The findings for teacher assessment SAEBRS-TRS results did indicate statistical differences for students who participated in the Tier 2 Student Support Group Interventions versus those who were in the comparison group.

Download or read book Handbook of Response to Intervention and Multi Tiered Systems of Support written by Paige C. Pullen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the many issues facing special education (and general education) today, it is difficult to imagine one more important or timely than response to intervention (RTI). Almost overnight RTI has become standard practice across the nation. Unfortunately, RTI remains ill-defined, falls far short of its evidence-based practice goal, is almost invariably misused, and often results in more harm than good. Nevertheless, as a conceptual framework RTI has great potential for ensuring that students with disabilities receive appropriate, evidence-based instruction. The mission of this handbook is to present a comprehensive and integrated discussion of response to intervention (RTI) and its relation to multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) in both special education and general education. Although the two terms are currently used interchangeably, distinct differences exist between them. Therefore, chapters are dedicated to distinguishing the two concepts—RTI and MTSS—and describing each one’s unique role in both general and special education. In addition, the authors recommend a third term, Multi-Tiered Instruction, to differentiate the practices related to the purpose of the specific intervention.

Download or read book An Examination of Student support Team Practices in One Urban Elementary Public school Academy written by Sherall Elaine Wade and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the federal laws, No Child Left Behind (NCLB, 2001) and Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA, 2004), school districts throughout the United States must provide struggling students with intervention strategies prior to diagnosis and placement into special-education programs (National Center on Educational Outcomes 2006). In 2004 Congress made many changes to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and from it Response to Intervention (RTI) became one of the most notable terms (Hale 2008). RTI is conceptualized as a multi-tiered service delivery model, which includes primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of support. The focus of the first tier is intervention at the level of the core curriculum. It is estimated that 80% to 85% of the general student body should be able to meet grade-level norms without assistance. The 15% to 20% of students who consistently show a discrepancy between their current level of performance and the expected level of performance are given Tier 2, or secondary supplementary instruction services (not to be confused with special education), targeting the students' specific problems. Approximately 3- to-6% of students receiving intervention services at Tier 2 will continue to have difficulties and continue to show resistance to intervention. These students will receive Tier 3 intervention services, which some proponents of RTI state is not to be confused with special education; whereas others, such as the Council of Exceptional Children (CEC), state should be special education. The ultimate purpose of RTI is to reach as many struggling students as possible.

Download or read book Handbook of Behavioral Interventions in Schools written by Keith C. Radley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tasked chiefly with providing effective instruction, classroom teachers must also manage student behavior. Prevalence of student problem behavior is a strong indicator of failing schools, and has been linked to reduced academic achievement, truancy, bullying, and loss of teacher time. As such demand is on the rise for intervention programs that may effectively reduce levels of problem behavior in schools. Handbook of Behavioral Interventions in Schools is a comprehensive collection of evidence-based strategies for addressing student behavior in the classroom and other school settings. Experts in the fields of special education and school psychology provide practical guidance on over twenty behavior interventions that can be used to promote appropriate student behavior. Framed within a multi-tiered system of support, a framework representing one of the predominant service delivery models in schools, interventions are categorized as Tier I, Tier II, or Tier III, and chapters provide insight into how students might be placed in and moved through respective levels of service intensity. Each chapter details a specific intervention strategy, and includes reproducible materials to facilitate use of the intervention, case studies, and further reading for school-based practitioners. Introductory chapters on behavior analysis, multi-tiered systems of support, and law and ethics place the practical guides in a context that is relevant for school-based practice. Walking readers through the entire process of assessment of problem behaviors to intervention and progress monitoring, Handbook of Behavioral Interventions in Schools is an invaluable resource for special education teachers, school psychologists, and trainees in these fields.
