Explain how this data could be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the RTI strategies and how this information could be used as justification for testing for possible special education eligibility.

RTI and Multi-Tiered Intervention Presentation

Tiered instruction and support programs
are often implemented on a school or district-wide level. Response to Intervention
(RTI) and Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) are common programs that
provide a framework for assessment, delivery of instruction, provision of
supports, and guidelines for referrals for eligibility in special education.
The law requires that teams document efforts to support students in general
education settings before they can be referred for special education
evaluation. Not all students who struggle have a documented disability or meet
eligibility requirements. Teachers and staff must address screening and
assessment to identify the needs of students and make data-driven decisions
regarding delivery of instruction, needed supports, and referrals when
necessary for additional supports and services. RTI is a framework that
includes general supports for all students, supports that are more specific for
at-risk students, and identification of students who need interventions that
are more intensive.
Using the attached Kindergarten – Class
Profile, imagine
you are the classroom teacher for these students. Review the profile and
formulate a small group of students with whom you will implement RTI
strategies. Using this group as an example, create a
15-20 slide digital presentation providing an introduction to the RTI for new
educators.
Within your presentation, provide:
·
An overview of RTI and MTSS, including an
explanation of the tiers and how these systems can be used to enhance and adapt
instruction.
·
An explanation of the role of the child
study team.
·
A discussion and examples of the types of
data collected throughout the RTI process.
·
An explanation of what factors determine
appropriate student placement within the RTI tiers. Refer to your example
student group to illustrate specific ideas.
·
An explanation of how the RTI model can
help meet the needs of students without disabilities and as a means of adapting
instruction prior to evaluating students for a disability.
·
Five examples of research-based
intervention strategies that you will use with students in your example student
group who are struggling in English language, arts, or mathematics. Include
justification for each intervention strategy.
·
Description of the data that would be
collected as part of implementing the research-based intervention strategies.
Explain how this data could be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the RTI
strategies and how this information could be used as justification for testing
for possible special education eligibility.
·
A title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s
notes.
Support your presentation with a minimum
of three scholarly resources.
