in students, it could help integrate the different special needs of students in the general classroom education.
RTI Tiers of Intervention:
A typical RTI model has three tiers. With the students move through tiers, the intensity monitoring of the students growth would increase (NWEA, 2017). The Three-Tier Model is described below:
Tier 1, general education teachers provide rigorous, grade-level curriculum and highly effective initial teaching to all students. The objective of this tier is to determine whether the curriculum could satisfy the needs of most students in the classroom. And that means 80% of students could perform at grade benchmark level; high-risk-students are moved to the next tier of intervention as soon as possible (NWEA, 2017).
Tier 2, it is upon on Tier 1, classroom teacher uses ongoing formative assessment to identify students who need

Encourage students to review any information to be covered during the class and to come prepared with ideas. And as students list of completion dates grow, their motivation and desire of learning English will increase. Meanwhile, in my classroom teaching, I will use audiovisual materials to help students learn English efficiently and to make learning fun. My multimedia courseware (MCAI) is based on the textbook and features colorful interfaces, animated cartoons and auditory shocks. It not only attracts the attention of students and arouses their interest in learning, but also it expands the information of classroom teaching. Also, I will create a relaxing and positive classroom interaction atmosphere, organize proper heterogeneous or homogeneous cooperative learning group based on my teaching content and goal. In the English teaching, the scientific cooperative study is helpful to students’ active cooperative consciousness, their correct competitive attitude and the healthy group
Instruction in Tier 1 is administered to all students and consists of research based core instruction and behavior practices provided by highly qualified teachers, universal screening recommended three times a year, frequent progress monitoring with data documenting rate of growth and improvement and differentiated instruction. (Okaloosa Schools website, 2014-2015) Integrated strategies in Tier 1 might include classroom management practices to define and establish classroom expectation for behaviors and instruction time, increased opportunities to respond using choral responses and including social and emotional content in literacy with discussion questions that center on empathy, problem solving and cause and effect. (McIntosh & Goodman, 2016, p.
Response to Intervention (RtI) is a framework based off the problem solving method that integrates assessment, and targeted instruction, within a multi-tiered intervention system. Implementation of RtI in schools is crucial to identify which students need additional intervention that will help increase their literacy skills, and prevent them from falling behind. RtI is based off multi-leveled tiers that are each categorized by the intensity of the intervention that is being used. The RtI framework is also used as a valued tool in monitoring and improving student behavior in the classroom through a model known as Positive Behavioral Intervention Support (PBIS).
The setup of RTI’s are; to give teachers effective instruction, monitor progress, if child is not responding get more instruction, monitor progress again, and if student is still not responding qualify as special education. School psychologist looked at RTI’s as a problem solving model and labeled the model along with the early intervention program described in 4 steps. Step 1 was compromise the problem and identify, this is when teachers and...
I believe that it’s a good decision to study and have knowledge about this Multi-Tier Support system. Any instructor who is really committed to the students should get a better understanding of it, to find out if his students are at risk or not of academic failure or falling behind. This system help him to rethink if he needs to modify the instruction activities in a way that facilitates the absorption of the core curriculum for students that are not succeeding. Appropriate and immediate feedback should be provided if the teacher is able to assess the areas that a child is having difficulties and respond with an specific strategy that leads him to progress. As an outcome of early intervention, ongoing support and efficient teaching all learners will benefit from MTSS.
Response to Intervention (RTI) is a process that aims to shift educational resources toward the delivery and evaluation of instruction that works best for students. RTI consists of multiple tiers of instructional processes aimed at improving student response to instruction and student outcomes. The first tier is Tier 1, which is designed to serve all students in the school with well-supported instructional programs. Tier 1 is designed to be proactive and preventative. It increases the likelihood of improved student achievement and success for all students and may reduce the number of students who are referred for special education. Tier 2 is for those students where Tier 1 is insufficient and are falling behind on skills and need more instruction.
RtI is a framework, not a program. It is a process that involves instruction, assessment, and intervention. This tool is utilized by educators to increase the likelihood that the students can be successful and maintain their class placement by early recognition and deliver appropriate instructional interventions. With this tool teachers can address the needs using research-based learning. All of the students’ progress is assessed early and often. A common concern shared by the parents and teachers is how to help the student who experience difficulty learning in school. A goal shared by the parents and teachers is seeing that the student excels. There are important terms to know for RtI. Response is reacting to a question, experience, or some other type of stimulus. Intervention involves a change in instructing a student in the area of learning or behavioral difficulty to try to improve performance and achieve adequate progress. Student Progress Monitoring is a scientifically based practice that is used to frequently assess students' academic performance and evaluate the effectiveness of instruction. Progress monitoring procedures can be used with individual students or an entire class.
Third, RTI can be set up by district. The district can determine appropriate assessments, curriculum and interventions that meet their needs, as long as they follow the model. According
The world’s technology advancements are quickly developing, thus, unquestionably, contributing to the extraordinary benefits obtained by students, parents, and educators. Students are provided an enhanced understanding of diverse subjects due to presentations, use of the Internet, and various programs, assisting them with projects, homework, tests, or merely general interest. Classroom computer use is certainly beneficial to parents as well. If a student does not have computer access at home to complete a project or essay, it could easily be completed on the classroom’s computer. This avoids any conflicts that may arise from families that do not have access to a personal computer. Teachers are able to easily compose a multimedia presentation to, not only help teach the class, but also to assist the pupils while taking notes and ensuring their understanding of the topic.
The primary concern for using Response to Intervention (RTI) is the implementation. Some states us a problem-solving model, which is a model that tailors intervention to each individuals need, these students are chosen by multidisciplinary school professionals (Cohen, 2012). Other states use a generalized model; these students are chosen by the administration, which addresses various students (Cohen, 2012). Other schools use a hybrid model where the school has a standard policy but can work outside the policy to address certain students under certain conditions (Cohen, 2012).
Response to intervention is divided into three different levels of intervention. Each level builds upon the previous one. The multi-level tiers are known as Tier 1: The Whole Class, Tier 2: Small Group Interventions, and Tier 3: Intense Interventions. Tier 1 is always dealing with the class as a whole. Whatever instruction or teaching method the teacher is using must include every student that is in the classroom. The instruction or teaching

Resources are designed to support us as teachers to plan, deliver and assess our teaching and lesson delivery. All the materials and books, a variation and diversification of approaches, resources used for different learning styles, in order to meet the needs of all my students were contributing to the professional development and continuing education. Preparing visual prompts to stimulate, the use of colour in my slides, always helped to stimulate the interest and emphasise the key points in my teaching. However, computer-based technology, provided opportunities to develop ICT skills. Thus, through class sessions and little practice students were developing skills to use it, and create professionally looking and visually stimulating slides. As teachers, we must be willing to encourage our students to become active participants in their learning, creating opportunities to actively engage all
Al-Fahad (2009) states that the advancement in “interactive multimedia technologies which promise to facilitate ‘individualized’ and ‘collaborative’ learning”, is playing an undeniable role in the process of language teaching and learning. Therefore this is not a new phenomenon. Teachers and researchers have always been working on this field to find a better way of using
The application of collaborative learning strategies is a process in which two or more students work together. Collaborative strategies will be used in planning, translating and reviewing the education process to form student learning through group-oriented activities. This source will also be useful in lesson planning to help explain how collaborative learning strategies in the classroom will help students in the learning process improve by interaction; how positive interdependence of collaborative learning leads to common responsibility; how collaborative learning builds students’ self-esteem, and confidence in students. This application recommends that collaborative learning strategies can be implemented with Jig-saw technique as well as in learning technology which can be accessible to all participants working in cooperative groups (Iqbal, Kousar, and Ajmal, 2011).
The information and communication technology (ICT) revolution has widely affected every domain in human life in the last decades. Hence, using the computer has become an important tool in the teaching and learning process. It plays a remarkable role in learning and teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). Therefore, it is very important to prepare the new generations with the computers and its applications.
