While skimming through several articles concerning project management failure, I ran across the article, “Failed Projects: Who is Responsible?” by George Pitagorsky, linked below: https://www.projecttimes.com/george-pitagorsky/failed-projects-who-is-responsible.html Failed Projects: Who is Responsible? Written by George Pitagorsky Although it was the title that initially peaked my curiosity, after reading through the article, I thought it was interesting enough to share with the group,…

This article entitled, “English Language Learners and Response to Intervention: Referral Considerations” is about how to assess whether or not an ELL student has a learning disability or just an English proficiency problem. It starts out with information about a response to intervention model and the steps needed to take to ensure that these students are properly assessed. The RTI model integrates a multitier preventive instructional system that uses evidence-based data to make a decision of…

This is because each functional response has relatively different initial functional response pathways, even though they all are increasing. For analyzing mesozooplankton grazing we would have expected to see the data follow either a Holling type II or III functional response curve. For as Frost discusses in his paper mesozooplankton eventually reach a maximum saturation level, where it no longer matters…

An analysis of Response to Intervention (RTI) reveals progress in closing the achievement gap in Reading and Math. Numerous studies have been conducted on the effects of Response to Intervention (RTI) in closing the achievement gap in regards to ethnicity and race. Teachers use RTI in classrooms to encourage a positive impact on closing the achievement gap between various ethnicities. In this article, we will determine the effect of RTI on closing the achievement gap between three ethnicity…

Introduction In recent years, response to intervention (RTI) has been the focus of research, debate and educational implementation. Two scholarly journal articles were analyzed and synthesized to deepen this writer’s understanding of Response to Intervention. It is not known if or to what extent Reading Recovery (RR) and Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy (DIBELS) impact the reading levels of students who were reading below grade level. Both articles revealed the authors’ purpose,…

Special education was created after several landmark court cases arguing the right of education for all handicapped children. On November 19, 1975, Congress enacted Public Law 94-142, also known as The Education for all Handicapped Children Act of 1975. Prior to this Act, parents were informing the public information about children with disabilities. During that time, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act was also bring other rights to children with disabilities. It establishes a right…

10-20 minutes is a suitable amount of time for self-administered questionnaires to last.56 The mail surveys used by Ditton et al.6 were 11 pages long, this could also have contributed to the low response rate. Needham et al.39 had a four-paged survey that lasted approximately 15 minutes, with an 87% response rate and resulting in 2821 surveys. This would imply that this was an appropriate length for a survey, otherwise it is unlikely so many would have been…

discuss the empirical results of the VAR model analysis described in the previous section. In subsection 4.1 we analyse significance of coefficients in the model and apply Granger Causality test. In subsection 4.2 we present the results of impulse response functions analysis and variance decomposition. Afterwards, we turn to subsection 4.3 to test reliability of the VAR model. 4.1 Testing for significance and Granger-causality According to Wald test (Table 5) the hypothesis of zero coefficient…

Student Demographics: B is an eight year old boy who lives with his dad and brother. B is larger and taller than most students in his classroom and his peers. He is also older and about to be 10 in 3rd grade. B’s native language is English, but it seems to be the subject he struggles with.

He does have a speech problem, such as not being able to pronounce letters correctly such as “R’s” and…

Communication between parents and teachers is a vital part of the education process. Establishing and maintaining a strong home-school line of communication can benefit children, parents and educators. Children feeling more comfortable at school, Parents have a better understanding of their child’s development and capabilities and educators can gain increased support from families (Estes & Krogh 2012). I believe that is it important to have many avenues for home-school communication both in the…
