Intervention In Early Childhood Education

Improved Essays
Educators know all children can learn, although not at the same level. It is common that without early intervention, a child may fall between the cracks, in specific children developing socially and emotionally. There is a term called Response to Intervention (RtI); this is the model that is used in many schools across the country. Schools have begun exploring teaching techniques that can be used in classrooms, with all children. This is a technique that identifies children 's individual needs early on to help prevent the need for intervention services down the road. In this essay the definition of RtI and features of RtI frameworks in early childhood will be described, how implementing the RtI framework can help children develop those much …show more content…
Tier 1 symbolizes its function, as the foundation for other practices deemed appropriate for all young children (Frameworks for Response, n.d.). Tier 2 refers to practices that include scaffolding, repetition, and guided practice in developing appropriate activities and routines (Frameworks for Response, n.d.). Tier 3 is composed of highly individualized teaching practices, such as supporting children in learning skills that are critical to achieving common outcomes that are addressed in Tier 1 (Frameworks for Response, n.d.). An illustration from the article, Frameworks for Response to Intervention in Early Childhood Education: Descriptions and Implications (n.d.), illustrates the triangle with a circle around the model, displaying the key features listed above, making this a dynamic process of gathering, analyzing, decision-making, implementing, and evaluating method for …show more content…
Young who teamed up with other school personnel wrote the article, Developing Socially and Emotionally Resilient Young Children Through an Early Childhood Framework, describe implementing the framework in combination with Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) philosophy.

    A.H., Brown, M. P., Corrigan, W. M., 2013). This evidence based approach will improve aptitudes and attitudes essential to higher achievement focusing on the whole child, creating safe and socially and emmotioonally supportive climates, and engaging parents and the community (Alessandro, et al., 2013). This model promotes voluntary behavior intended to benefit another. According to a study done by Kincaid, D., Childs, K., Blasé, K. A., & Wallace, F. (2007), such an approach gives students specific behavior skills, provides opportunity to practice skills in a natural school environment, and reinforces students positively for displaying these skills in the classroom setting. Lacy Elementary has lacked respect amongst students as mentioned before and this could help in taking a proactive step for the betterment of the schools culture to promote a better classroom environment.…

    Fuchs & Fuchs (2006), make clear that this over-identification can be eliminated by providing solid instruction through a core reading program. Additionally this core program should be complemented by an assessment tool that can identify the needs of the struggling students. In order for the RTI implementation to work in a school setting, the following are essential components that must be implemented with fidelity: (1) All students receive high-quality, research-based instruction in the general education classroom, (2) universal screening, (3) a multi-tiered approach to learning, (4) ongoing progress monitoring, (5) infrastructure, (6) strong leadership, (7) data-based decision making, (8) ongoing training and professional development, (9) collaborative teaming, (10) fidelity of implementation, and parental engagement (Fuchs & Fuchs, 2006). Though there is no single, methodically researched and commonly practiced "model" of the RTI process, it is defined as a three-tier model. However, Georgia uses a 4 Tier delivery model of supports that uses research-based academic and behavioral interventions.…

    I indeed never thought of myself as an advocate until I attended the seminar with Ken J. Jaffe. The seminar was an eye opener for me. While listening to his speech, I realized, that I’ve been advocating all along in the matters that I do on a daily basis; on behalf of the children in my care and the children in the neighborhood. Various times young parents can be frustrated while dropping off or picking up their children which causes them to speak to their child(s) in an inappropriate manner. However, I always find myself intervening on behalf of the child.…

    Response to Intervention (RTI) is a three tier model that includes several components. RTI includes high quality, research-based instruction and behavioral supports; universal screening of academics and behavior in order to determine individualized student needs; multiple tiers of increasingly intense scientific, research-based interventions that are matched to students needs and a cooperative approach by school staff for development, implementation, and monitoring of the interventions. RTI also includes continuous monitoring of student progress during interventions; using objective information to conclude if students are meeting goals; follow-up measures providing information that the intervention was implemented as intended and with appropriate…

    School administrators seeking their students’ best interests are utilizing training programs for the implementation of RtI into the regular classrooms. RtI’s systematic process enables students to practically progress or regress through the three tiers of the model: Tier-1, Tier-2, and Tier-3. Students who are not progressing with regular, Tier-1 instruction then proceed to Tier-2 intervention. Those in Tier-2 who progress return to Tier-1, but those who still struggle proceed to Tier-3, where they are given 9 to 12 weeks of intensive instruction with the purpose of minimalizing academic regression. Students in Tier-3 usually end up with a learning disability diagnosis by the end of the phase.…

    I would like to extend my sincerest thanks for taking your time to consider my candidacy for the Educational Psychology/School Psychology program at the University of Wisconsin. I have always been drawn to behavioral psychology, the phenomenon of learning, and educational processes. After discovering that I had a special talent for working with children and at-risk youth, I eagerly began my academic pursuit in elementary education. With ever-increasing learning demands, and limited time and resources, I quickly learned that inevitably some children fail to perform adequately among their peers. This reality came quite clear to me through my experience working and substitute teaching in a public elementary school.…

    A recent study on social and emotional risk and protective factors that predict early school problems or success found that "children who do not begin kindergarten socially and emotionally competent are often not successful in the early years of school—and can be plagued by behavioral, emotional, academic, and social development problems that follow them into adulthood (U.S Department of Health and Human Services). " Creating a positive social relationship is an important outcome of preschool, possibly more important is avoiding social isolation. Research shows that it is possible to predict as early as preschool the kind of children who will have social and academic problems, because they are already either overlooked or casted off by other children. To develop positive social relationships it is important to build relationships with parents so that children feel safe, secure, and comfortable with their teachers. Provide opportunities for children to work and play together.…

    Early years of childhood have widely been recognised as the most important years of learning and development. “Research have shown the importance of these years to learn and acquire new skills” (DEECD, 2010), which have assigned a great responsibility to the educators working with the young children. As an early childhood educator, I feel that it is my responsibility to provide the high quality learning environment for the young children to learn, acquire and develop social, emotional, academic and technological skills.
