Purpose For my research paper, I have chosen to write about Response to Intervention (RTI) in pre-kindergarten. I became interested in Response to Intervention when I started working with Head Start within the public school system in my city. Throughout my years in the Head Start Program I have worked with many students. The Response to Intervention framework has made me wonder how academics would be differentiated for these children, when our educational system is being scrutinized for students lagging behind with academic test scores. There have been many initiatives put in place to close the academic gap. One initiative that I am very passionate about is Response to Intervention. As a future teacher, I will have students that are

Progress monitoring can be implemented with individual students or an entire class. (Student Progress Monitoring, 2014) Progress monitoring benefits are more augmented learning, because the lessons are planned specifically for the individual child or group and the students progressed is documented for both student and teacher accountability. Maximized instructional time is needed to improve student achievement and requires multiple policies and programs to support great teaching and learning (Learning Coach Junction, 2012). The benefit of maximized instructional time is that the time allotted for students is their time for learning so that the students can focus more on academic learning and lesson on classroom distractions. Evidence-based data refers to any concept or strategy that is derived from or informed by objective evidence—most commonly, educational research or metrics of school, teacher, and student performance (Hidden Curriculum, 2014). The benefit of having evidence-based data is to support the teacher’s findings and gain more knowledge the student’s outcomes. In doing so the teacher is able to provide lessons and activities that will best support the …show more content…
As with Response to Intervention there are four components to Recognition and Response and they are as follows: screening, assessment, and progress monitoring (recognition), research-based curriculum and instruction for all children and validated interventions for individual children, who need additional supports (response), an intervention hierarchy and a collaborative problem-solving process that involves teachers, specialists, and parents (RTI Action Network,
