Recommended: Special education versus general education

The words “Response to Intervention” are words used by many educators and administrators as a “cure-all” for students who are considered at-risk. Although this seems to be a fairly new concept, it has actually been in affect since 2004. In the past there was general education for children who are typically developing and there was specialized education for children identified as having disabilities. There was no plan of action or services for the students in between who were struggling, but didn’t necessarily need specialized and/or modified education. Consequently, special education was looked at a place to house students with disabilities more than a service.
One of the sure ways for a student to be placed in these special education environments was through the concept of “wait and fail.” This concept was due to limited resources and interventions for those students who were struggling, but continued to receive the same instruction as all other peers that weren’t …show more content…

These components of RtI are essential to the development of a successful RtI implementation strategy.”

1. HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTION/ INTERVENTION is defined as instruction or intervention matched to student need that has been demonstrated through scientific research and practice to produce high learning rates for most students. Individual responses to even the best instruction/intervention are variable. Selection and implementation of scientifically based instruction/intervention markedly increases the probability of, but does not guarantee positive individual response. Therefore, individual response is assessed in RtI and modifications to instruction/intervention or goals are made depending on results with individual

Special Edward is a short novel written by Eric Walter. The story is about Edward, a high school student who takes advantage of the system by pretending to need an IEP. He does this because he does not want to put in the effort to keep up his grades and knows that special education students get to have extra time, a reference sheet with tests, and assistance with taking notes. Along with the complications of trying to get into the special educational program, he learns a lot about learning disabilities and motivation. In my opinion, this story is a good example of the way people make assumptions about students who are in special education.

Recent legislation requires schools to implement a Response to Intervention (RTI) model that is based on multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS). The goal of RTI is to identify students early who are struggling academically or behaviorally and provide appropriate interventions to prevent these challenges from becoming more serious and detrimental to their success. Under the traditional system, students may not receive extra services until a problem becomes severe, and they meet criteria for a special education qualification. RTI helps schools identify children earlier using systematic and scientific universal screeners of all children. Therefore, RTI gives students who are at-risk the opportunity to receive less intensive intervention services,

This song quickly became a staple protest song during the Civil Rights Movement. Before Sam Cooke decided to write his song, “A Change Gonna Come”, he covered Bob Dylan’s song, “Blowin in the Wind”, and quickly added this cover to his repertoire.

Out of Ennis High School’s 345 students class of 2013 graduates, 43 of them were disabled. This means that out of every graduating class, about 12 percent of them are disabled.

The authors begin this section by acknowledging that the purpose of reading response activities is to help students’ access literature and become more capable of understanding and responding to it regardless of their prior knowledge or experiences. This is an excellent philosophy for developing response activities because we do not want to create “superficial” activities, such as the science unit that kicked off with reading Charlotte’s Web. (I actually cringed while reading that). This type of connection complete ignores the coming of age questions that E.B. White’s classic raises and doesn’t engage a connection with the scientific study of arachnids. I want my students to see the connections and be able to have a response not be confused by faulty association.
