Response to Intervention (RTI) is a multi-tiered approach to identify and accommodate students with behavioral and learning needs; however, are these approaches providing the best opportunities for success for our students. In this peer reviewed article entitled “Effectiveness of a 10-Week Teir-1 Response to Intervention in Improving Fine Motor and Visual-Motor skills in General Education Kindergarten Students” explores the effects of an RTI developed in collaboration with classroom teachers to enhance fine motor in visual-motor skills of general education kindergarten students. (Ohl, M., Graze, H., Weber, K., Kenny, S., Salvatore, C., & Wagreich, S., 2013) The author’s research is comprised of 113 elementary students of six different elementary schools who were randomly selected into various control …show more content…
Designed to be an early identification approach, the successes of this approach may be limited to teacher training and knowledge to effectively implement RTI. Providing and designing approaches to enhance student learning is significant, therefore, targeting student strengths and weaknesses promotes the ability to create and design successful interventions. Furthermore being proactive to students needs instead of waiting until the student fails will build a foundation paves the road that lead to a successful educational outcomes. Although the students in this research and receive the RTI showed improvements, there was no significant data to indicate substantial motor and visuals skills gained. In addition, this study highlighted the significance of occupational therapy practitioners, short term interventions, and collaboration provided the teachers with the tools needed to enhance the students’ ability without occupational therapist present. Ohl et al.
As in any research based program there are benefits and challenges. One of the biggest benefits of RTI is it has the ability to transform how we educate all students. When implementing Response to Intervention it helps to treat learning disabilities, identifies students with disabilities, classifies every student’s strengths and targets the specific disability. Perhaps the greatest benefit of an RTI approach is that it eliminates a “wait to fail” situation because students get help promptly within the general education setting. As soon as assessment data indicates a problem area for a student, interventions are put into place to address these concerns. One of the biggest challenges that are occurring is that RTI is still uneven; some districts use it and some do not and because of this it becomes a challenge. There is confusion as to what RTI is and whether schools are required to use. In addition, the evidence based and differentiated instruction is one of the issues in response to education. “Interventions that are research based but not feasible are not likely to be implemented with fidelity, which would undercut the validity of RTI decision making” (Kubiszyn & Borich, 2010,
In this case study, Miguel clearly shows difficulties in reading. The difficulties stated include: recognizing alphabet letters (alphabetic awareness), matching sounds to letters (letter-sound correspondence), telling sounds apart (sounding out), starting/ending sounds (sounding out), and remembering words quickly (sight word reading) (Meet Miguel, n.d.). In order to address these difficulties, the authors would approach this problem in a two pronged manner: 1) immediate bridge methods for learning, and 2) RTI approach.
Intervention/Response: CM received a called from Corporal Williams on Prichard Police Department stating she needs to meet with consumer. CM informed Corporal Williams she will give her a call once she makes it to consumer home. CM traveled to consumer home for the purpose of monitoring and assessing needs. CM was accompanied with CM Shamaiya Williams. CM arrived at consumer home and knocked on the front door. Consumer answered door and met with CM on the front porch. CM contacted Corporal Williams and informed her she was at Consumer home. While waiting for Corporal Williams to arrive CM and consumer discussed consumer medications regimen. Consumer has been taking her morning medications. CM educated consumer on the importance of her taking
In the article, “Response to Intervention in Reading for English Language Learners”, the authors Sharon Vaughn and Alba Ortiz explain, how much native language and/or ESL instruction students receive depends on the program model. Students in English as a second language programs do not receive native language instruction; they are typically educated within general education classrooms and have a support program for English as a Second Language. In planning Response to Intervention approaches, it is significant to recognize the program in which English language learners are registered, how their native language and English proficiency is measured and observed, and the core literacy program they have for development of
Response to Intervention (RTI) is an in school service program designed to guarantee that all students are getting a high quality education. Before students are referred for special education services, it is essential that they receive effective teaching designed to meet their own learning requirements. All students in public schools are required to be included in the RTI program.
Chapter two’s main objective is to inform the reader with the definitions, details, and purposes of the four critical aspects of educating students with disabilities, which include the importance of collaboration among professionals, the IEP’s, the LRE, and inclusive education (p. 45). The chapter begins discussing some topics that are slightly related to the four critical aspects. The book goes into the different techniques and programs that are associated with the prereferral process. Response to Intervention was the process that the book decided to promote and discuss, and the book decides to start the information here because it is the beginning of the process that most general educators will face. Chapter two also informs readers on what multifactored evaluations are and why they are
The assigned video is explaining Response to Instruction and Intervention (RTI) . This is a plan to make decisions of the educational path of a student. It enhances education for all students and assesses whether they will need additional support with growth or more independence in reading. All of the students in the building have the opportunity to be assessed through RTI not just students with an IEP.
Intervention/Response: CM traveled to consumer’s home for the purpose of monitoring and assessing needs. CM arrived at consumer home and knocked on the door several times. Consumer answered the door. Consumer was trembling and her clothes were not on properly. Consumer stated someone tried to rape her. Consumer neighbor walked to consumer’s home and stated consumer was screaming and yelling for help. Consumer neighbor stated consumer told him someone tried to rape her. CM contacted the Prichard Police department. Consumer stated that the same person raped her on Friday and she did not report it because she was scared. While waiting for the police consumer took her morning medications. Once Prichard Police arrived Consumer was able to file a
RtI works at its best when personal from across the school, including administrators, general education teachers, special education teachers, supplemental specialists, music and gym teachers, and counselors all collaborate to support the framework, because each staff member shares equal responsibility for the success and failure of all students (Shapiro 2011). RtI needs the full support of all staff members, because it does not show immediate results and could take between 3-5 years to see its positive impact. RtI gives schools the chance to correct literacy issues, and fix the problem early, before students’ progress forward where they pay for it long into their future.

A practice model that can assist schools and school districts in implementing Senate Bill 177 is Response to Intervention (RTI). RTI is a three-tiered model of prevention and support meant to identify students at risk and provide academic and behavioral supports in the classroom (Gustafson, Svensson, & Fälth, 2014). Tier 1 focuses on general behavioral interventions for all students in the classroom (Gustafson et al., 2014). Children who fail to meet a predetermined minimum criterion for RTI will be assigned to Tier 2 intervention (Gustafson et al., 2014, p. 29). Tier 2 involves self-regulation interventions in the form of group sessions (Gustafson et al., 2014, p. 29). It has specific curriculum-based
“Of all forms of mental activity, the most difficult to induce even in the minds of the young, who may be presumed not to have lost their flexibility, is the art of handling the same bundle of data as before, but placing them in a new system of relations with one another by giving them a different framework, all of which virtually means putting on a different kind of thinking-cap for the moment. It is easy to teach anybody a new fact…but it needs light from heaven above to enable a teacher to break the old framework in which the student is accustomed to seeing.”
Response to Intervention (RtI) came about initially in answer to the over-identification of struggling students as special education students. It was developed starting in the late 1970s by numerous researchers seeking a method of identifying learning disabilities that avoids the problems of the discrepancy model. Many educators were concerned that too many students were being identified as having a learning disability, not because they actually had one, “but because they had not been successful in a general education program” (Prasse, 2010). Many were also concerned that students with a true learning disability were not receiving the help they needed quickly enough. Before RtI, the accepted
This three-tier RTI system is wonderful at the early stages of education because it allows teachers to identify at-risk students and move them through the intervention process. However, in the later stages, it is often too late to evaluate students for learning disabilities as these should have been recognized early on in a child’s education. It should be noted that students at this stage do still need interventions, but in a different format.
RTI is an intervention system that is planned to increase student’s literacy. RTI is also considered a screener for students with learning difficulties (Wixson, 2012). RTI is considered to be a way to give students services before we label them with a
