One change needed is to give the teachers more effective ways to collect data in the RTI model. By providing effectiveness in data collection; it will allow for educators to use less time understanding complex data collection and utilize time in a sufficient matter. In addition to data collection, providing a time to effectively collaborate with others in the special education department, as well, as the general education department can allow for teachers to gain knowledge and strategies associated with program effectiveness. The support from leaders should be conducted throughout the week, and concerns associated with the program effectiveness should be expressed without penalties. Effective leadership in RTI and special education is deemed necessary for the administration to have an outlook on the roles and responsibilities of the special educator, and to understand the importance of support for these populations. This is important because it will decrease burnout and give the special educators a positive outlook on the support form administration. Trainings on RTI for the principals, special educators, teachers, and other stakeholders are deemed necessary to further examine the districts program effectiveness yearly, and determine changes and new strategies needed to improve effectiveness.

    Summary The IEP Process as a Tool for Collaboration describes the thorough process and different components that are involved when developing an IEP for a student with disabilities.

    I chose the case study of Kimika Kanzia to complete my annual IEP requirement for EDUC-614. Kimika was a 9 year old girl with moderate intellectual disabilities, a seizure disorder and a gross motor impairment. Kimika had been receiving special education in the early childhood special education program since she was three years old due to her education deficits and gross motor impairment. At that time, she was found to have significant language, academic and motor delays. The case study reported that during preschool she made slow but steady progress and over the next few years she was moved to a classroom for students with “trainable mental retardation”.…

    The traditional method for intervention puts students with a specific language at a disadvantage by identifying SLD students later. RTI enables teacher’s through consistent progress monitoring to identify SLD students early to receive more intensive interventions. RTI also brings together the general education teacher and the special education together to create effective and efficient interventions. The traditional model required the special education teacher and general education teacher to work independently. The traditional model had larger more crowded classrooms whereas, RTI has smaller class sizes that focus on more individualized instruction.…

    INTRODUCTION Special education is required by law, to be freely implemented for all children that need it (Gibb & Dyches, 2016). In order for a child to be identified as requiring special education, a parent or teacher will need to submit a formal referral showing efforts for unsuccessful interventions. Before a child is placed in a special education program, five implications must be meet by the school. First it must be free and meet state standards. Secondly, the student must be appropriately evaluated.…

    One of the most complex issues in special education today is disproportionality. Disproportionality was first reported in 1968 by an educational researcher named Lloyd Dunn. Dunn observed that 60 to 80 percent of students who were misidentified for special education services were students from low-status backgrounds including African Americans and students from non-middle class environments (Vallas, 2009). Still, years later, the problem continues to exist. Minorities continue to be overrepresented in special education.…

    The Response to Intervention (RTI) form I created on Google Docs serves the educational need of the teachers and students in which the RTI team serves. This working document allows administrators, teachers, RTI members, as well as me the opportunity to review the data collection process, prior to the RTI meeting date. Hopefully, this document will decrease the time spend discussing the information since it will be made available prior to the meeting date. Also, if additional information is needed, the teacher will be able to gather all necessary materials, again, prior to the meeting date.…

    As I shadowed the counselor at Tucker Middle School for a summer program, I realized that some of the benefits of implementing early intervention and RTI (Response to Intervention) for children with early signs of a learning disability is serious topic. Instead of just placing students in special education programs educators must assess and evaluate students, as well as trying early intervention programs which help delay disabilities or stop the disability from forming or progressing. I’ve always heard a little about the RTI, but one that differed from what I have encountered in the school system is the Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA). This allows a systematic process for gathering information that helps determine the relationship between…

    Although I do agree that RTI is important, I find it frustrating that RTI doesn't have more of a guideline to follow. I have had four principals in the last 5 years in the same district, each one having their own idea on the process. It makes it very difficult to make this intervention successful when that happens. I found it interesting that most schools include special education students throughout all levels of intervention while a few consider special education their highest tier.…

    Leiter, Jackson, and Maslach define burnout as “a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment.” (Gong et al., 2013). Attrition refers to leaving teaching altogether, either to take another job outside of teaching, for personal reasons as child rearing, health problems, family moves, and retirement (Cooper and Alvarado, 2006). As early as the 1970s, a shortage in special education teachers have been nationally recognized. Researchers have conducted many studies to identify the causes of teacher burnout and attrition in hopes of identifying ways to reduce teacher attrition and burnout.…
