As a teacher, my mission is to ensure that all students have the knowledge, skills, and behaviors needed for present and future competence and success. It is my desire to see all my students become productive, successful, happy, and contributing members to our society. I believe that all students are entitled to the time, focus, and intensity of instruction and behavior, so that they will become owners of their thinking and learning. I believe in analyzing their weak areas and providing high quality instruction and assistance to fill those gaps they have in their learning, as well I believe in working with their strengths.
What is involved in INTERVENTION?
-
High-quality, scientifically based classroom instruction. All students receive high-quality, research-based instruction in the general education classroom.
-
Ongoing student assessment. Universal screening and progress monitoring provide information about a student’s learning rate and level of achievement, both individually and in comparison with the peer group. These data are then used when determining which students need closer monitoring or intervention. Throughout the RTI process, student progress is monitored frequently to examine student achievement and gauge the effectiveness of the curriculum. Decisions made regarding students’ instructional needs are based on multiple data points taken in context over time.
-
Tiered instruction. A multi-tier approach is used to efficiently differentiate instruction for all students. The model incorporates increasing intensities of instruction offering specific, research-based interventions matched to student needs.
-
Parent involvement. Schools implementing RTI provide parents information about their child’s progress, the instruction and interventions used, the staff who are delivering the instruction, and the academic or behavioral goals for their child.
