Editor's Notes
- RTI: Response to intervention comes to education from the field of health care. It is easy to understand the notion of intervention and intensive services in the context of illness and disease. Lack of response to an intervention requires new interventions of greater intensity. – Dave Edyburn The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a United States federal law that governs how states and public agencies provide early intervention, special education , and related services to children with disabilities. It addresses the educational needs of children with disabilities from birth to age 21 [1] [2] in cases that involve 13 specified categories of disability. – Wikipedia Tiers/Levels each new step of intervention where you increase the intensity is a tier. RTI has a three tier model.
- Clarise the classroom teacher. She needs to provide interventions at the classroom level for the student and document behavior incidents Things that technology can help – Adding visuals and multimedia to instruction to increase student learning and retention Skills specific remediation Providing students with adaptive technology like keyboards/laptops Creating forms for tracking Email for documenting incidents Things that technology cannot help - She has 5 students needing ABC charting She has 10 students with RTI interventions in a class of 28.
- This is Peter the principal He need to document interventions like conferences with students that are both formal (for a suspension) and informal. Where technology can help – Documenting formal meetings on SIS Documenting informal ones using hand held devices Sharing information via email Where technology cannot help – It won’t make those conferences effective
- Suzy the special ed resource teacher: She needs provide students at Tier/Level 3 with pull-out or push-in intervention services. Things that technology can help – Adding visuals and multimedia to instruction to increase student learning and retention Skills specific remediation Providing students with adaptive technology like keyboards/laptops Creating forms for tracking Email for documenting incidents Things that technology cannot help – Being maxed out on her case load
- One of the great literary aphrosims from the Bible I learned in college is this exchange: A follower asks Jesus, “Should we pay taxes?” Jesus says, “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s; Render unto God what is God.” Give Special Ed their paperwork, but stay focused on the student Just like paying Rome taxes had some advantages (roads for the itinerant messiah to travel the Holy Land, clean water to turn into wine), the info we are collecting for SSTs can be helpful
- Assessment tracking How good is the assessment? What systems do you have? Does everyone who needs it have access to the data? Email is your friend Notification Keeping members in touch even if they are not there Documentation of what’s occurred -Interventions -Incidents Keeping everyone on the same page Special Tech for this like recorders, etc.
- Remediation programs Paid Free and web-based Assistive Technology -Keyboards Notes (doc cameras and IWBs) Computers Cell phones
