Response To Intervention Essay

1012 Words5 Pages

The words “Response to Intervention” are words used by many educators and administrators as a “cure-all” for students who are considered at-risk. Although this seems to be a fairly new concept, it has actually been in affect since 2004. In the past there was general education for children who are typically developing and there was specialized education for children identified as having disabilities. There was no plan of action or services for the students in between who were struggling, but didn’t necessarily need specialized and/or modified education. Consequently, special education was looked at a place to house students with disabilities more than a service.
One of the sure ways for a student to be placed in these special education environments was through the concept of “wait and fail.” This concept was due to limited resources and interventions for those students who were struggling, but continued to receive the same instruction as all other peers that weren’t …show more content…

  • Analysis Of Special Edward By Eric Walter

    823 Words  | 4 Pages

    Special Edward is a short novel written by Eric Walter. The story is about Edward, a high school student who takes advantage of the system by pretending to need an IEP. He does this because he does not want to put in the effort to keep up his grades and knows that special education students get to have extra time, a reference sheet with tests, and assistance with taking notes. Along with the complications of trying to get into the special educational program, he learns a lot about learning disabilities and motivation. In my opinion, this story is a good example of the way people make assumptions about students who are in special education.

  • 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. RTI helps schools identify children earlier using systematic and scientific universal screeners of all children. Therefore, RTI gives students who are at-risk the opportunity to receive less intensive intervention services,

    What is Inquiry? To me, inquiry is the process of doing science through the lens of the natural “excitement, motivation, curiosity” that humans, and especially children, instinctively have to explore the world around them (Bresser and Fargason, 2013). I think the key to INQUIRy is (HINT) to inquire about the world around you – find what you are passionate, interested or curious about and begin to ask question. Through discovering, researching and experimenting, one can begin to find the answers to their inquiry.

    The authors begin this section by acknowledging that the purpose of reading response activities is to help students’ access literature and become more capable of understanding and responding to it regardless of their prior knowledge or experiences. This is an excellent philosophy for developing response activities because we do not want to create “superficial” activities, such as the science unit that kicked off with reading Charlotte’s Web. (I actually cringed while reading that). This type of connection complete ignores the coming of age questions that E.B. White’s classic raises and doesn’t engage a connection with the scientific study of arachnids. I want my students to see the connections and be able to have a response not be confused by faulty association.
