Both promote tiered instruction that increases in intensity at success levels (Fuchs et al. 2009, p. 301).

It is a top down because instruction is research based. RTI begins with all students in Tier 1, "non responsive" students move to Tier 2, and based on instruction and success those deemed responsive move back to regular class instruction. Those who continue to be "non responsive move to Tier 3.

The perspectives reflects greater trust in the educators' problem solving capacity than in standardized tests and research validated protocols.  The image below shows a bottom up approach to RTI. ]]> 2019-04-06 22:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/missmyralove/9jtqmbbtvzbi/wish/349193057 missmyralove https://padlet.com/missmyralove/9jtqmbbtvzbi/wish/349193783 "Special Education doesn't work, it isn't necessary and can be harmful (Fuchs et al. 2009, p. 307). " Special education is viewed ineffective because it's interventions are often based on presumed, discredited theories of learning and teaching. The effect of labeling is harmful by damaging self-esteem and by promoting a negative quality of life. I chose this video to represent this concept because it shows how inclusion is the answer. ]]> 2019-04-06 22:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/missmyralove/9jtqmbbtvzbi/wish/349193783 missmyralove https://padlet.com/missmyralove/9jtqmbbtvzbi/wish/349194432 As Special educators we are always problem solving. Problem Solving as and IEP team, problem solving with parents, problem solving with administrators, problem solving with general education teachers etc. Problem solving is one of many professional responsibilities. Being a proactive problem solver, one can avoid a crisis. I chose this video because it shows different approaches to problem solving in an IEP meeting.]]> 2019-04-06 22:37:39 UTC https://padlet.com/missmyralove/9jtqmbbtvzbi/wish/349194432 missmyralove https://padlet.com/missmyralove/9jtqmbbtvzbi/wish/349194901 Friend and Cook explain in chapter 5, the steps to group problem solving. 1) Identifying the problem, 2) Generate the solution, 3) Evaluate potential solutions 4) Select the solutions, 5) Implement the solutions, and 6) Evaluate the outcomes. I find this visual flowchart (below) very helpful in explaining group problem solving in another format. ]]> 2019-04-06 22:47:37 UTC https://padlet.com/missmyralove/9jtqmbbtvzbi/wish/349194901 missmyralove https://padlet.com/missmyralove/9jtqmbbtvzbi/wish/349196384 Fuchs, D., Fuchs, L.S., & Stecker, P.M.
