RTI is an intervention program that helps students master their literacy. From the article and the videos I got a very good overview of what the RTI program consists of and the many advantages it has over other intervention programs.

The program begins with every child being given 30 minutes of literacy instruction a day delivered by a regular ed teacher, during which the teachers can see who may be at risk. For 80-85% of students 30 minutes a day is enough and they do not more attention. The approximately 15% of readers who do need more help go to tier 2-  where they separate the students into smaller groups and give them targeted instruction. In tier 2 the teacher of this small group builds upon tier 1 instruction with a plan/strategy. The students who need more intervention even after Tier 2 go to Tier 3. In Tier 3 they use intensive evidence-based intervention with a very small group, and it’s delivered by a specialist. Only about 5% of children need to go to Tier 3.

RTI is a program that makes sure that every child’s needs are met. After schools started using this program there were many less children in need of special ed, because they received the intervention right away. After hearing a lot about the RTI program I’d love to see more videos of teachers using this method in their classroom.

RTI changed the emphasis for the identification process, from giving help the student only once they fell behind to providing support and intervention for struggling students early on, as soon as a a2. The old method there were some problems with: 1.      Waiting for the student to fail before giving the student additional help. 2.      Even if there is no major discrepancy between their IQ and knowledge the student still needs the same intervention instruction. 3.      Didn’t take into consideration the other possible factors that can be making the child not learn how to read. In RTI they measure learners’ performances when given intervention. They do not measure based on learning disabilities rather the student response to interventions. The student’s goals are not measured based on their IQ rather based on the level of the other students on their grade level. The RTI Process: 1.    ...

week 3 assignment 2

As teachers, we are constantly assessing our students to make sure that they are on the level they should be, the level determined by the common core standards put together by P12. After reading and familiarizing myself with the common core standards of a fourth grader, I understand what assignments are needed to properly assess my students to know if they are on the same level as their grade-mates nationwide.   In the third ELA lesson starter, the teacher wanted to develop, implement and help her students communicate new ideas to others through original writing. She told her students to create a beginning to a story and record it on a podcast. She then gave the story to other students and had them create an end to that story. By giving her students this assignment, she was able to test for two of the common core standards. She tested if they can write narratives clearly, with detail and in clear sequence, and if they can use technology with support from adults. This assi...
