Download or read book Teachers Use and Perceptions of the Impact of Response to Intervention RTI on Co teaching at the Secondary Level in General Education Classrooms written by Hawazen Ahmad Alasiri and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When working together, Response to Intervention (RTI) and co-teaching can serve the needs of teachers and their students in a duet that Murawski and Hughes (2009) called "a logical combination for successful systematic change" (p. 267). According to the U.S. Department of Education, the number of students with disabilities, ages 6-21, who spent most of the school day in general classrooms in regular schools increased from 33% in 1990 to 62% in 2014 (U.S. Department of Education, 2016). With twice as many students with disabilities attending general education classrooms today, it is essential that all stakeholders in the education field gain a deep understanding of teaching and learning in inclusive classrooms. Today, co-teaching allows two professional, certified teachers to work together, sharing the responsibility of delivering instruction for all students in general classrooms, including students with special needs, using flexible approaches to meet individuals' needs (Friend, 2008). Response to Intervention (RTI) is a three-tiered identification and support system designed to meet the needs of all students by providing "quality differentiated instruction" (Villa & Thousand, 2011). Together, co-teaching and RTI can create an effective environment for students with different needs. In part, co-teaching serves as an ideal method for putting RTI into action. Often, research on co-teaching focuses on teacher roles and responsibilities. It tends to overlook the impacts on student educational achievement and social development, thus, creating a gap in the literature. This phenomenological qualitative study explores teachers' use and perceptions of RTI on co-teaching in general classrooms and the benefits and barriers impacting co-teaching. It is informed by the increase of students with disabilities in general education classrooms, growing implementation of co-teaching practice, combined value of RTI and co-teaching, and lack of student-focused research on the subject.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to understand the held perception of high school teachers regarding RTI implementation skills. This study explored whether district structure affected teacher implementation of RTI by investigating differences between regional school districts and K-12 school districts. This study also sought to investigate whether the type of certification held by teachers influenced their perceived skills to implement RTI practices. This quantitative study collected data from general education and special education secondary teachers (n = 120) throughout Sussex County, New Jersey. An electronic survey was adapted from the Perception of RTI Skills Survey-Revised from the Florida PS/RTI Statewide Project (Castillo et al., 2016). The survey instrument was distributed via Microsoft Forms, and data were collected anonymously. The data from the survey were analyzed using independent samples t-tests to determine if significant differences exist between the means of two independent groups when measured by dependent variables. The study determined that there were significant differences between general education and special education teachers when it comes to implementing data-based decision-making and academic interventions within the RTI model. The study also found that district structure influenced teachers' perceptions' of RTI procedures. The results of the study may guide school leaders in the development of relevant and meaningful professional development and training for educators at the secondary level. (ProQuest abstract).
