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.
Select a grade level “Class Profile”
relevant to your field of study (KINDERGARTEN) and 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 powerpoint 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.
