These concerns require further consideration of interventions including possible special education evaluation. “Students whose learning trajectory shows little improvement may be considered for additional, more intensive intervention or evaluated for special education services” (O'Connor, Bocian, Beach, Sanchez, & Flynn, 2013).

She has not yet been recommend to proceed to tier 4 or special education evaluation due to insufficient data related to her absences as well as the missed days of school due to weather. Upon receipt of appropriate data, it is the intent of the team to review the data and recommend further RTI action or moving her to tier 4 and evaluation for special education. “Collaboration in RTI focuses on using data to make decisions about individuals and generate solutions to recurrent problems” (Lipson, 2011). Additionally, she receives support from the Early Intervention Program (EIP) for her reading and writing deficits in which her general education teacher and EIP team collaborate to help her make academic progress. The EIP team works together to give “support to general education teachers and paraeducators” (Wallace, Anderson, & Bartholomay, as cited by Dover, 2005) through collaborative lesson planning and taking data for the RTI

  • Tier 2 Intervention Essay

    Recent legislation requires schools to implement a Response to Intervention (RTI) model that is based on multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS). The goal of RTI is to identify students early who are struggling academically or behaviorally and provide appropriate interventions to prevent these challenges from becoming more serious and detrimental to their success. Under the traditional system, students may not receive extra services until a problem becomes severe, and they meet criteria for a special education qualification.

Therefore, RTI gives students who are at-risk the opportunity to receive less intensive intervention services,

As a 20 year old, Draper was working as a stockman at Target because he did not have adequate skills to achieve a more successful career or attend college. Whoever is responsible to diagnoses must be adequately trained. Although I am trained to perform reading inventories, I would never attempt to perform a psychological-academic evaluation on a student.
