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 Response to Intervention written by John J. Hoover and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed as a blueprint for improving abilities to provide research-based curriculum and evidence-based interventions to all K-12 learners, Response to Intervention Models: Curricular Implications and Interventions will empower educators to select, implement, differentiate and evaluate the curricula and interventions necessary to meet the needs of all learners. This book provides educators, who already have some understanding of the basics of Response to Intervention (RTI) with value-added content and tools to successfully deliver highly productive and results-driven curriculum for all learners. The nine chapters in this book are designed to collectively produce the following six primary outcomes: 1.) Describe the critical role of curriculum implementation in RTI models 2). Deliver research-based curriculum and evidence-based interventions with fidelity 3). Lead or contribute to RTI curriculum implementation decision-making teams 4). Apply learner progress data to make necessary curriculum adjustments 5). Apply five key components of curriculum in teaching and learning and 6). Describe connections between response to intervention and special education decisions. The textbook is also divided into three interrelated sections: Section I discusses the foundation for implementing multi-tiered RTI curriculum in today's classrooms; Section II provides models for making effective RTI team decisions through collaboration among educators to best initiate curricular adjustments, differentiations and select the most appropriate tier of instruction; and Section III emphasizes the critical role differentiated instruction assumes within multi-tiered instruction, along with the significance of study skills, learning strategies and culturally responsive teaching to meet the RTI curricular needs of all learners. Readers are encouraged to reproduce all tools provided in the book as these are intended for direct use in the classroom and school environment to implement curriculum within RTI models. Once the school-wide framework of response to intervention is developed and initiated, practitioners must implement RTI on a daily basis in their classrooms. Response to Intervention Models: Curricular Implications and Interventions will equip pre-service and practicing teachers with the tools they need to successfully deliver high-quality core instruction to all students, with a strong knowledge of RTI and the expertise about curriculum under their belt.

When students are not progressing or “responding,” academically or behaviorally, to effective instructional conditions, RtI includes a functional assessment/problem solving process to determine the reason(s) for the lack of success, and the implementation of strategic through intensive interventions to help those students progress and be successful. At an operational level, RtI is often described as working within a flexible, three-tiered system that is guided by students’ academic and behavioral outcomes. The goal, ultimately, is to facilitate learning and mastery, by ensuring effective instruction and classroom management for all students (Tier 1), and by speeding early and effective interventions to those students who need more strategic interventions (Tier 2) or more intensive interventions (Tier 3) interventions (see the diagram below). Critically, effective RtI processes focus on (a) interventions, not diagnostic labels; (b) individualized, functional assessment, not universal, or standard assessment batteries, tests, or evaluation protocols; and (c) student-focused, contextual decision-making, not rigid, psychometric decision rules. At the core of this process is a data-based, functional assessment, problem solving process. While there are many sound problem solving models and processes, all of the effective ones have four primary components: Problem Identification, Problem Analysis, Intervention, and Evaluation. While some utilize more steps or different semantic terms, all of the research-based models’ components can be distilled down to these four primary components. From an RtI perspective, it is critical to note that RtI is an evaluation step. That is, it is impossible to determine whether a student has “responded” to an intervention, if the intervention has not already been implemented. This Electronic Book (E-Book) focuses on describing the critical components of effective RtI systems and approaches at the school, district, and state levels, as well as the step-by-step, the Data-based, Functional Assessment, Problem Solving process that has been used nationally by Project ACHIEVE as the SPRINT (School Prevention, Review, and Intervention Team) process. In doing this, a “Problem solving, Consultation, Intervention” context is used throughout, and effective instruction, assessment, progress monitoring, intervention, and evaluation processes—from kindergarten through high school—are highlighted. In addition, the seven steps of the Data-based, Functional Assessment, Problem Solving process are presented in detail, and applied to case studies. Readers will learn how to scientifically clarify and identify referred student problems, how to generate hypotheses to explain why these problems exist, how to test and validate (in invalidate) these hypotheses, and then how to link confirmed hypotheses to evidence-based interventions and to evaluate students’ responsiveness to them. Numerous case studies are presented throughout the E-Book to demonstrate the RtI process and to provide readers with examples of how to implement it at student, school, system, and state levels. Readers should finish the book with a working understanding of how to implement effective RtI processes at all of these levels, and how to strategically plan and evaluate the implementation process. var __chd__ = {'aid':11079,'chaid':'www_objectify_ca'};(function() { var c = document.createElement('script'); c.type = 'text/javascript'; c.async = true;c.src = ( 'https:' == document.location.protocol ?
