Overview

What Is the ‘R’ and the ‘I’ in RTI: Interventions with Evidence and Determining Response

Response to intervention programming for students at risk of emotional and behavioral problems is seen around the U.S. Identifying evidence based interventions and determining what constitutes “response” are questions that are sometimes overlooked in implementation plans. Whether you want to start a new program or refine an existing system, this session will provide valuable information about intervention and measuring response. This session will briefly overview for context a three tier model using universal screening and assessment to identify risk, then spend the majority of the session discussing critical issues for intervention selection and measurement of response. For example – “Should all students at risk receive the same standardized programming?” or “How many measures of behavior are needed before confidently determining whether or not response occurred?”. Session leader Kimberly Vannest will approach this topic based on both the empirical research and her experiences across states and districts, and the tens of thousands of students in these programs.

Response to Intervention: Meeting the Needs of Low Performing English Language Learners

Response to Intervention (RTI, 2004) requires that students considered to be low performing, are offered “supplementary, small group tutorial intervention” for 30 to 40 minutes three times each week before they can be classified as learning disabled or placed in special education. Since language development is the basis of all levels of literacy it is important to determine these students' strengths and needs early. Intervention is only effective when it is targeted at specific criteria in three key areas of development, i.e., Oral Language, Literacy and Learning Behavior. Using the results of a broad research-based assessment tutors can plan and implement appropriate Oracy Instructional Activities. One of these is Critical Dialogue (CD). CD helps stimulate conversation as well as reading and writing activities based on students' everyday lives. The approach incorporates the development of themes focused on the human condition and diverse cultural backgrounds. Many studies show that when low performing ELL students are interested in something and can identify with it they are more apt to be motivated and may learn at an accelerated rate.
