Winter 345/347 RTII by Jess Nagle https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43 en-us 2017-12-21 10:15:00 UTC 2024-10-13 13:56:04 UTC hello@padlet.com Please post a video or image related to RTI and explain the connection. For example, you may want to post a video of how RTI works in a math class, if this is an area of interest to you. Or perhaps, you might post an image of an assessment that RTI utilizes for a particular reason. Remember to make sure you explain why you chose your image/video. Also, please note any differences between your example and the definition you read about or heard about in the video you watched. 5nagles https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/217664447 2017-12-21 10:15:44 UTC https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/217664447 An-Najmah Bryant https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316414543 I chose this video because I feel like it really highlights and explains the purpose of RTI and how collaboration really should work. It connects to the video because it explains how the staff are able to identify the students and the tiered system through working together. It connects to the article because the article mentioned how staff and professionals felt about RTI and helping students. For example, classroom teachers may feel like the blame was getting put on them and they didn't like being asked specific questions about what they were doing as teachers. Or other staff being frustrated. However, I feel like this video talks about how it isn't about the staff and who's doing what, it should all be about the students and getting them to where they need to be. This would help me as a teacher focus less on how I feel and more on the progress of students. I also like how she mentioned that " And it’s not an approach about inspection. It’s more of an approach about reflection, about how we’re doing good work together. "

In this short, 3 minute video, a narrator describes the tiered approach to intervention for instructing all students. I thought this video made it really clear to a general education teacher like me, what is required and what the tiered approach is when it comes to RTI. The video was exact and to the point, yet shared so much valuable and important information regarding the RTI process. It was nice to see and hear what is required of myself as a general education teacher and the process students in my class may go through and need in order to help them succeed to their highest potential in literacy and reading. Both the other Youtube video we had to watch for class today as well as the article we had to read described the tiered system, which was understandable but with the support of watching this video, it cleared things up for me to understand a little more in depth about the RTI tiered approach. One of the nice things about this video is that it is short, which helps you focus on the information that is important to really understand as a general education teacher. I would definitely recommend this video for all teachers to watch and learn from!]]> 2018-12-21 15:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316420661 Colleen Devery- RTI Video https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316444662 The video I found references how aspects of the RTI model shift and change in what the video refers to as intermediate grades: 3rd and 4th grade. The video mainly focuses on diagnostic tools for 3rd and 4th grade that would indicate if a student would benefit from the RTI model. The video starts talking about a tool educators use within this teachers area called common standard-based assessment. These assessments are used so that RTI can then be implemented based off of gauging students progress over time. She says that once you’ve agreed on your assessments and the timeline in which these assessments will be given the model moves into Standards based reporting: divided into student level and class level. Based upon set standards that are agreed upon, points per question are used within exams to gauge if students have achieved mastery in a subject or not in terms of individual students development. Class development uses these individual grading systems to indicate who out of the class has mastered a subject, who has partially mastered a subject, and who has not. She notes that classes can be compared in terms of percentages of students who have mastered a subject, and teachers can compare what they felt was effective and what they can improve. Additionally meetings are held to discuss what can be done better, and gauging what percent of a class has mastered a skill- and individual students and their mastery needs. Using these assessments you can assess which students need help in certain content areas (the examples she spoke about were reading and math), and when RTI should be implemented for a student, and how to diagnose from there.

I thought this video was quite helpful because it spoke more so about the ways in which you can figure out which students would benefit from RTI, and the active steps an educator would go through to come to that conclusion. While it's helpful in examples that say what you would be looking out for, seeing a real world example of the steps leading up to RTI I found quite helpful. This video paired with the video we watched for our online class today felt like a comprehensive look into the leading steps of RTI, and what RTI being implemented and explained looked like.

Progress monitoring improvement reports for literacy would contain the number of correct words vs. the number of incorrect words read by the student, an aim-line of correct words the student should be able to read with intervention, and other changes to instruction marked on the dates of the x-axis. Progress monitoring improvement reports are a great way for teachers and parents to review and assess individual student interventions and change the course of action for student success. In the example below, the student might need to change tiers if his correct trend line continued to fall below the aim-line.]]> 2018-12-21 17:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316448865 -Honey Torretti Response to Intervention: Collaborating to Target Instruction honeyhollow https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316460472 I chose this video because it explains/shows how RTI is implemented, as well as received by the students in this school system that is shown in the video. I really liked how the implementation of RTI was not only explained by the teachers /administrators of this school system, but also the students and parents.
They said that the implementation of RTI in their school, gave the students a sense of independence because of having to transfer between different rooms for their targeted instruction, as well as a sense of pride because of the quality of work that they were now able to produce.
Since the implementation of RTI in this school it is stated that there is a remarkable decrease in the population of special education students.

This was a very useful/ informational video, and I really enjoyed the way it integrated all people involved in the RTI process.]]> 2018-12-21 19:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316460472 Marissa Vernoia - Reading Intervention mv885113 https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316466119 I chose this video because it explores six specific RTI programs for reading in a different elementary schools. I liked this video because it had interviews with the students who partake in the program and they explain what they like about the specific programs. I thought that the program "Write On Handwriting" was really interesting since it was an online program for helping students improve their familiarity with how letters and numbers should be written and helps them build their confidence. I also like how with the program, they can't click through it to just get it done, they actually have to participate and slowly practice their handwriting. The S.P.I.R.E program is a multisensory intervention that helps students decode words and comprehend the stories that they are reading. It implements the use of pictures and tactile means for students to connect to what they're learning to. Many schools would benefit from implementing one of these programs in their RTI program since the students really seem to enjoy them as much as the teachers do. ]]> 2018-12-21 19:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316466119 Azia Smith - RTI: Reading vs Math aziasmith1213 https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316535080 I chose this video because it explains the difference between reading and math interventions and how it is processed. This is done through progress monitoring and early intervention activities. It also entails how students with reading comprehension is slightly easier than math due to the different tools students must learn. Students often go through much confusion due to concepts sometimes changing, the speaker gives examples about how hard fractions are for 4th graders. Next she details how algebra and calculus impact students of upper grades but intervention is rare. I felt like this is important because math is intervened in early grades but 'ignored' in upper levels when concepts become more confusing/ abstract and needs more RTI. Lastly, the speaker says that even when students are given math RTI in lower grades those skills don't always prepare students for the more difficult levels of math to come.

This was useful to see how math impacts students versus reading RTI. In summation, reading RTI prepares students for upper grade levels while math RTI does not help students as the concepts change and become more difficult. ]]> 2018-12-22 23:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316535080 Maggie Stella-RTI at Meyer Elementary stellamaggie14 https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316535740 I chose this video on RTI because it gives an inside look on how it is implemented in an elementary school. This is where my certification is, and I like how the video shows the teachers collaboration with each other to implement the RTI. The school, Meyer Elementary, seems to have developed a strong program, and I feel as though it gives a good understanding on what RTI is. Compared to other explanations I have heard this video brought in the parents opinion. The one parent was explaining how her child struggled with reading, but with RTI got the support he needed. I also like how the one teacher explained how if a child is constantly struggling without supports from RTI it begins to wear on them. This child will begin to struggle emotionally, socially, and of course academically. I felt like that explanation from the teacher put RTI into perspective on how much it helps the students overall, and makes them feel accomplished because they are succeeding in subjects they struggle in. Overall this video showed a great inside look on what RTI does for children and schools. ]]> 2018-12-23 00:23:42 UTC https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316535740 Larissa Console- RTI Video l_console17 https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316572526 I chose this video because it gives an inside look on how RTI is used in special education classrooms and its importance. I will be certified in special education so I wanted to get a closer look on how it would be implemented. I really enjoyed how in the video the speaker mentioned how, even though RTI was introduced as a special education idea that now it is important for all educators in all fields should use and implement RTI in their classrooms. RTI in special education has changed the way we assess and look at our students. Before RTI, evaluation was standard across all students. The speaker mentions how RTI isn't just response to intervention but it stands for really terrific instruction.

This was a useful and informative video that helped give me a better insight on the special education side of RTI. ]]> 2018-12-23 20:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316572526 Paige Jones-Mathematics and RTI https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316572847 I chose this video because it gave insight into the challenges of teaching math and how RTI diminishes some of them. I wanted to understand how RTI is used in math classrooms because I am concentrating in that area. I liked that the speaker discussed the importance of mathematical pedagogy and the issues that can arise if teachers aren't prepared. He also talked about the role that RTI plays within these issues and how it helps struggling students. The use of data to guide instruction is one of the most important concepts according to him and RTI is a problem-solving process in the math classroom. I thought that it was interesting that he said that the RTI process should compel the field to become stronger advocates for further research of mathematical pedagogy. I think that the RTI videos we watched focused a lot on the performance of the students, but we should also use it to keep improving the teaching strategies used within the classroom. When I first read about RTI, I was confused about the subjects that it was used for because the readings seemed to emphasize only reading and language arts. I knew that it was used for other subjects, but not the specifics. Therefore, this video was able to informed me a lot about the influence of data on RTI and how that data is essential to teaching mathematics.

This was a term by co-op used multiple times within her classroom. I have some experience with RTI but I was not very familiar with the term until now. I am a dual major in Early Grades and Special Education, I find this video related more to me in my special education experience. In this video, I saw students who may have special needs, which caught my interest. Being able to see the different ways that RTI is implemented surprised me, because I did not know there is so much thought that goes into this process. For example, the number of times per week and how long each session is for, was something I never thought about. Also, the grouping of students, some may work better in whole group while others work better in small or individual settings. Even the technology we can implement with our instructions to make it easier for students. This video and course made me realize that it is not all about what tier a student is placed in and what kind of instruction they receive. It's about the different types of assessments, data collection,
instruction, technology, setting, etc. that go into helping a child learn.]]> 2018-12-23 22:34:14 UTC https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316577106 Alex Falcone- RTI: Tier 2 and 3 students https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316577540 I chose this video because it provided more insight on how to handle instruction for tier 2 and 3 students. Tier 2 and 3 students are students that require the greatest instructional needs so this video gives advice on how to handle instructing tier 2 and 3 students. In order to properly aid these students teachers must be aware of the "extras" these students require. For example tier 2 and 3 students usually require extra time, more frequent assessments and working in smaller groups. Frequent assessments are key in order to collect more data on the student so the teacher can see where exactly the student is struggling. Expertise is a big part of instruction tier 2 and 3 students. Expertise is needed in order to narrow the focus of instruction. The instruction should be narrowed down to specific skills and strategies students need to succeed.]]> 2018-12-23 22:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316577540 Lexie Weight RTI Video https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316582080 I chose this informational video because it explained the importance of going through each Tier approach. It also explained how important it is for a student to not skip a Tier step because then they will fall even more behind. It also explains how each student learns in a different way and different paces. This video explained the RTI process in a simple way explaining each of the Tiers and why the student may be in that Tier for example for Tier 2, the video explains how this student might be in there because they may be behind in small literacy (ABC's) or small mathematical (123) or social skills and will meet two- three times a week small intervention groups. Before EDR 345 I have never heard of RTI. It was nice how the video broke down something foreign to me easily. It also included websites/programs that can be helpful for students who are in the RTI program I found that to be very informational! ]]> 2018-12-24 01:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316582080 RTI for ELLs - Mikayla Deiter https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316583352 It is important to look at different learners in our classroom, and the ones who are at risk of being in Tier three because of quality instruction. For this assignment I wanted to look more at EL students and what an RTI would look like for them. Janette Klinger, Ph.D. had these these parting words for educators listening to the video. ELs who respond well to proper Tier two intervention are being well received and not needing the extra assistance to Tier three intervention. The reason for this is their classroom instruction and then new ways of teaching each individual learner is helping below grade level students and not sending them down a path thats not right for them. I enjoyed seeing this from a professional because it reminds me the RTI is a process that aims to help students and see where they need attention. That not every student is going in with a disability, and I shouldn't see it that way, rather I should see it as a way students need to see literacy.
There were no differences in examples or vocabulary with this video and I recommend anyone who wants to learn more about ELs to watch this video. ]]> 2018-12-24 01:39:31 UTC https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316583352 Lindsay Roller - RTI Video https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316606158 I chose this video because it focuses on how to support students through the use of RTI. The faculty at P.S. 52 Sheepshead Bay School talk about how they were able to bring RTI instruction into the classroom. They found that there was a large amount of students who were not meeting promotional expectations as well as state standards. The decided to provide necessary instruction through small group instruction. After implementing this they found that students had demonstrated 82% growth. That means that the students have made a year to one and a half years of progress. During a faculty meeting that discussed how teachers felt RTI was working, it was stated that it is important for the teachers to go back and see if they are implementing that intervention with fidelity. It is said that it is also important to provide teachers with the correct training and development. The faculty at this school believe that RTI provides students with the intervention they need in order to improve. ]]> 2018-12-24 12:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316606158 Amy White - RTI in Mathematics https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316607466 I chose this video specifically because it relates to my content area of mathematics in the middle grades. It was interesting to watch and see how this teacher implements RTI in her classroom. It stuck out to me how she said, "there's a common goal/place in mind, but everyone starts at a different starting place." I loved this video because the teacher is so accommodating to all of her students through the use of small groups, whole groups, flexible grouping, and more. Between the notes and the video, I saw many differences as the teacher talked about how she helps students through the use of groupings. However, the video did not touch on much about assessment. She did briefly mention formative assessments, but did not dive too deeply into differentiating various forms of assessments. It was beneficial to watch and research videos relating to RTI in mathematics classrooms because I feel as if mathematics could often times be difficult to differentiate for each and every student, but it is possible.

I chose this specific video because it also relates to the importance of behavior in the classroom as well as reading. The process in the the RTI model of reading because in both the first tiers they talk about the importance of responsibility for the students. In the tier two level if a student is having a behavior problem, the student is first closely monitored and data is kept in order to see where the problem is rooting from. After the administration has found the reason for the behavior, a behavior plan is then put into place for the student. If the behavior continues after the student has been given the plan the student may then be recommended for tier three which is special education. Though this is different than the original definition in the area of reading, it still follows the same guidelines that include independence, some assistance, and finally specific help for the issue at hand. ]]> 2018-12-24 13:30:08 UTC https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316608071 Hannah Robinson -- RTI https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316610176 This video emphasizes the idea that RTI can be used to improve the performance of all students. The narrator then provides viewers with a detailed explanation of what one may find at each Tier, or as she calls it "Level of Prevention." The image referenced repeatedly throughout the video clearly illustrates the connection to data that each decision made throughout RTI must have. This video effectively summarizes the main components of RTI and its implementation within the classroom.

For example, we discussed in class the, "third grade slump." This video discussed the slump and how Reading precursor skills generally facilitate the learning of other later skills. This is why it is so important to conduct prevention activities early. This video also talked about how Math difficulties can be hard to notice in young grades due to the fact that beginners Math is calculation skills, memorizing basic facts, measuring, etc. I found this interesting because, I feel like whenever I hear of RTI, I automatically think Reading and Writing, I had never thought about RTI for Math. ]]> 2018-12-25 02:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/5nagles/wuqas1ol1k43/wish/316631004
