Tier 2 Response To Intervention

Decent Essays
Response to Intervention is an approach for differentiating instruction to help students who struggle in learning, in general, and get them to grade level. It is separated into three Tiers to separate student’s abilities so that the teacher is capable of accommodating her student's needs. Tier 1 focuses on developing the students reading abilities and preventing learning problems. Tier 2 focuses on struggling readers and extending the instruction to help the students reach grade level as soon as possible. Tier 3 is referred to as more intense instruction, and depending on the child’s improvement, it may result in the diagnosis of a reading disability.
I have seen the Tiers in place at my last placement. I was placed in an inclusion classroom

    I agree with Allington. In order to accelerate the reading rate of the students it is going to take every available staff member in the school/district to tackle this problem. The school district is growing immensely therefore, we are serving more students during the intervention time. For example, last year I had small groups of 3 and 6, however this year I have a group of eight students in one of the intensive reading groups. The data indicates the students are not accelerating at the expected rate…

    The reading case that I will be using for this artifact showcases my capability to make wise decisions about what should be taught and how it should be taught, according to the educational needs of a student. By participating in this case study, I recognized and evaluated the needs of one particular student, in tier II of the RTI process, who was falling behind and not meeting the educational goals set for Kindergarteners in the State of Georgia.

    In society we know that every person is unique and will go about life differently than any other person. Reading groups in schools do not always remember this about children. Often time’s teachers will briefly assess the child’s reading level at the beginning of the year and place the children into groups based on their findings. The issue with this is that the children will quickly learn which group has the best readers and which group has the readers that struggle. Commonly the children in the group that struggle will be labelled with a reading disability.…

    Retention is typically a last resort to give struggling students more time to improve their skills. Some schools have used retention—without providing interventions—assuming that time alone will make a difference. However, comprehensive and well-implemented third-grade reading laws must focus on screening, progress monitoring and targeted interventions for struggling students. Only then may retention be used as a last resort for those students who will benefit from more time and instruction.…

In reading, one expectation for these students is to be able to compare and contrast themes from passages that have been read. Direct instruction is one way this skill can be taught.
