Pre-school education in the Philippines provides learning programs for children ages 3-6 in preparation for primary education. Friedrich Fröebel, the "Father of Kindergarten", advocated that children should be able to play, have toys, and be trained. During the Spanish regime, early education was predominantly religious. In the early 1900s, commissions recommended establishing free public elementary schools and a centralized school system. Kindergartens were first established in 1900-1902 by missionaries and religious groups. Reforms in the 1970s-1980s expanded preschool programs and established standards and regulations. However, preschool remained voluntary and not part of the formal education system.

Students receive research-based interventions in three tiers - high quality classroom instruction (Tier 1), small group interventions (Tier 2), and intensive individualized support (Tier 3). The goal is to improve student achievement through early intervention and differentiated support.
Elise Frattura, Ph.D - Leading Beyond Inclusion: An International Perspective...IEFE
This document discusses issues with traditional models of inclusion and special education that can increase labeling of students and limit outcomes. It proposes an alternative model called "Beyond Inclusion" that focuses on meeting the needs of all learners through principles like: placing students of varied abilities together in small classes; special and general educators collaborating using a rigorous curriculum differentiated for all; and individualizing instruction based on how each student learns. The document suggests data shows current approaches may increase disability identification and advocates for systems aligned under principles of teaching and learning for all students.
The document discusses school-based services for students with disabilities. It describes the categories of disabilities that students may have as well as the process for referring a student for special education evaluation. This involves gathering data, providing interventions, and monitoring progress.

It then discusses how assessment is a necessary part of teaching to evaluate student progress and determine needs. Various methods of assessment used in the classroom are described, including informal assessments, curriculum-based assessments, and portfolios. The document also discusses response to intervention and multi-tiered systems of support. It outlines both traditional and contemporary models of assessment, including the problem-solving model.
RtI is a multi-tiered framework used in Thompson School District to provide academic and behavioral support to all students. It uses high quality instruction and increasingly intensive interventions matched to student needs. Students move between the three tiers - classroom, supplemental, and explicit instruction - based on their response to interventions as measured by progress monitoring. The problem-solving process and data-driven assessments are essential to the RtI model. Parent and community engagement is also important for student success.
The document discusses different approaches schools take to the belief that all students can learn. It examines how effectively ensuring all students learn requires shifting the focus from whether students can learn to how to provide learning for all. Key questions are what students should learn, how to assess learning, and how to intervene when students do not learn. The Response to Intervention (RTI) model provides a systematic method of instruction, assessment, and intervention at different tiers to improve student outcomes. Implementing RTI requires overcoming logistical challenges but can help ensure equal opportunities and reduce unnecessary special education placements.

8. 1. TRANSITION
SERVICES
Services intended to facilitate the
learners transition from school to
community, college, vocational
programs or employment.
The transition plan involves other
professionals. 8
12. THE CHILD STUDY
TEAM
Sometimes known as (CST), School
Building Level Committee (SBLC),
Pupil Personnel Team (PPT), or Pre-
referral Team, this team may be drawn
from the following staff members:
14. PREREFERRAL
STRATEGIES
Before a formal assessment of a student for
possible placement in special education
occurs, his or her teacher meet with the
Pre-referral team to discuss the natures of
the problem and what possible
modifications to instruction of the
classroom might be made.
15. THE CHILD STUDY TEAM MEETING
Once a referral is made,
personnel involved on the
team will gather as much
available information prior to
the meeting to better
understand the child.
16. INFORMATION
INCLUDE:
Prior Academic
Achievement
Prior Test Scores
Group Standardized
Achievement Test
Results
Attendance Records
Prior Teacher
Reports
Group IQ Test
Information
Prior Teacher
Referrals
Medical History in
the School Nurse’s
Office
Student Work
20. BENEFITS OF THE
PREREFERRAL PROCESS
Provides a forum for teachers
and other team members—
including parents—to discuss
how to meet students’ needs.
Empowers general education
teachers with a variety of
strategies to better serve diverse
learners. 20
21. Prevents the overrepresentation of
students from a particular group
(e.g., English learners, students at
risk due to poor teaching) in special
education.
Improves communication between
parents and the school by involving
families in the process (e.g., parents
offer information, participate in
intervention development, become
members of the team). 21
24. RTI IS…
the practice of
(1) providing high-quality
instruction/intervention matched to
student needs and
(2 ) using learning rates over
time and level of performance to
(3) make important educational
decisions
(NASDSE, 2006)
24
25. GOALS OF
RTI
Prevention of academic/behavior problems
Attend to skill gaps early
Provide interventions/instruction early
Close skill gaps to prevent failure
Determination of eligibility as a student with a
specific learning disability
Pattern of inadequate response to
interventions may result in referral to
special education
25
26. WHAT DOES RTI
IMPLEMENTATION LOOK
LIKE?
1. Students receive high quality, research-based
instruction by qualified staff in their general
education setting.
2. General education instructors and staff assume
an active role in students’ assessment in that
curriculum.
3. School staff conduct universal screening of
(a) academics and (b) behavior.
4. School staff implement specific, research-based
interventions to address the student’s
difficulties.
26
27. INTERVENTION
LEVELS
Tiers include increasing levels of intensity
of interventions
Primary Instruction -- differentiated
curriculum and instruction for all
students
Secondary Interventions -- Targeted
interventions for students at-risk
Tertiary Interventions --
Strategic/Intense interventions for
students with intensive needs

29. PRIMARY
INSTRUCTION
Expectation = 80% or more of students
successful with general education curriculum
and instruction.
Assessment = Universal screenings for
academics and social/emotional growth
(behaviors).
Intervention = Through differentiated
instructional practices.
Roles and responsibilities = primarily the
general education teacher. 29
30. SECONDARY
INTERVENTION
Expectation = 15% of students may be at risk and
in need of targeted interventions.
Assessment = progress monitoring of student
response to specific intervention.
Intervention = standard protocol treatment
intervention; evidence-based intervention.
Roles and responsibilities = variety of personnel as
determined by the school.
30
..
31. TERTIARY
INTERVENTION
Expectation = 5% of students may be at significant
risk and in need of intense interventions.
Assessment = progress monitoring of student
response to specific intervention.
Intervention = standard protocol treatment
intervention; evidence-based intervention; unique
intervention based on teacher expertise.
Roles and responsibilities = variety of personnel as
determined by the school.
31
32. WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF
INTERVENTIONS?
1. Standard Treatment Protocol Interventions
From scientific-based education research
1. Evidence-based Interventions
From education research
1. Experiential-based Interventions
From best practice with alike students
32
33. ADVANTAGES OF
RTI APPROACH
Provides instructional assistance in a timely
fashion (e.g., NOT a wait-to-fail model).
Helps ensure a student’s poor academic
performance is not due to poor instruction
or inappropriate curriculum.
Informs teacher and improves instruction
because assessment data are collected
and closely linked to interventions. 33
