Chapter 1 Response to Intervention



Things I Do and Plan To Do….
I have only had a few months of experience with students with disabilities. When I did a long-term substitute, I had a file for accommodations for two students. I made sure the student’s accommodations were met. For example, putting them in the front of the class, putting them near students that could help them not hinder them, and monitoring them during assessments. If I did have any problems with the students, I made sure to communicate with their resource teacher.

Things I Do Not Do….
I have not used the problem-solve approach or the hybrid approach. I think that these two approaches are very useful and should be used with students that may have a learning disability. I like how the problem-solve approach has easy steps to follow. Keeping assessment records are beneficial to parents and students that have a disability. Keeping these records shows whether or not a student is progressing or regressing.

Things I Need To Improve….
I believe, there are many areas to improve on. There is so much to know and learn about Response to Interventions. I did not realize there were so many great strategies that would help me in the classroom. The strategy that stuck out to me the most was the problem solving approach.  The first step discusses how to identify and validate the problem. The second step is to design strategies to address the problem. It is so important to plan strategies to help the students. The third step is to monitor and document the student. Documenting is something that I have to really work on. I get so busy with other things that I forget to document important information about students. The last step is to reconvene and establish the next steps. By using these steps, it gives you an effective way to respond to intervention.
