| aimsweb maze passages: Reading Assessment in an RTI Framework Katherine A. Dougherty Stahl, Michael C. McKenna, 2012-01-01 The importance of Response to Intervention has never been clearer. We strongly believe that RTI, when fully implemented, represents our best hope of building the kind of schoolwide framework necessary for making truly informed choices about the type and intensity of the reading instruction children receive. Our goal for this book is to offer the guidance needed to use these and other tools in an RTI framework. This is a book about the assessment component of RTI. We offer guidance and tools for gathering the information needed in an RTI framework. We have tried our best to write a book that is both practical and specific, that reflects both research and common sense, that is consistent with standards, and that affords guidance in the issues central to RTI-- |

| aimsweb maze passages: Handbook of Response to Intervention and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support Paige C. Pullen, Michael J. Kennedy, 2018-10-04 Of the many issues facing special education (and general education) today, it is difficult to imagine one more important or timely than response to intervention (RTI). Almost overnight RTI has become standard practice across the nation. Unfortunately, RTI remains ill-defined, falls far short of its evidence-based practice goal, is almost invariably misused, and often results in more harm than good. Nevertheless, as a conceptual framework RTI has great potential for ensuring that students with disabilities receive appropriate, evidence-based instruction. The mission of this handbook is to present a comprehensive and integrated discussion of response to intervention (RTI) and its relation to multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) in both special education and general education. Although the two terms are currently used interchangeably, distinct differences exist between them. Therefore, chapters are dedicated to distinguishing the two concepts—RTI and MTSS—and describing each one’s unique role in both general and special education. In addition, the authors recommend a third term, Multi-Tiered Instruction, to differentiate the practices related to the purpose of the specific intervention. |

| aimsweb maze passages: Intervention Strategies to Follow Informal Reading Inventory Assessment JoAnne Schudt Caldwell, Lauren Leslie, 2013 To help teachers connect students' performance and evaluation to instruction, best-selling authors JoAnne Caldwell and Lauren Leslie outline practical intervention strategies that are aligned with any informal reading inventory. Written with the firm belief that a student's performance on any evaluation instrument should be specifically connected to instruction in the intervention sessions that follow, this book provides a clear understanding of how to connect assessment and instruction and specifically tie informal reading inventory assessment and intervention instruction together. Arguing that there is a disconnect between the assessment of reading and the design of instructional activities to improve it, the renowned authors of the Qualitative Reading Inventory (QRI), JoAnne and Lauren discuss how this disconnect stands in the way of implementing effective programs for struggling readers. Intervention strategies guide teachers to connect assessment results on an informal reading inventory with specific aspects of intervention instruction. Intervention Strategies to Follow Informal Reading Inventory Assessment is ideal for teachers seeking a systematic perspective to how intervention should be based on assessment.--publisher website. |

| aimsweb maze passages: Academic Assessment and Intervention Steven Little, Angeleque Akin-Little, 2014-01-21 Serving students with academic deficiencies necessitates communication and collaboration among professionals from several disciplines. Academic Assessment and Intervention brings together divergent approaches in order to demonstrate that scientific evidence, rather than biases or previous practice, must determine assessment practices that are selected and used for particular purposes. Similar to a handbook in its comprehensive topical coverage, this edited collection provides a contextual foundation for academic assessment and intervention; describes both norm-referenced and curriculum-based assessment/measurement in detail; considers the implications of both of these assessments on ethnically diverse populations; provides a clear link between assessment, evidence-based interventions and the RTI model; and considers other important topics related to this area such as teacher behavior. Intended primarily for graduate-level courses in education, school psychology, or child clinical psychology, it will also be of interest to practicing professionals in these fields. |

| aimsweb maze passages: Literacy Instruction for Students Who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing (2nd Edition) Jennifer S. Beal, Hannah M. Dostal, Susan R Easterbrooks, 2024-05-10 Most students who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) struggle with acquiring literacy skills, some as a direct result of their hearing loss, some because they are receiving insufficient modifications to access the general education curriculum, and some because they have additional learning challenges necessitating significant program modifications. This second edition of Literacy Instruction for Students who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing updates previous findings and describes current, evidence-based practices in teaching literacy to DHH learners. Beal, Dostal, and Easterbrooks provide educators and parents with a process for determining which literacy and language assessments are appropriate for individual DHH learners and whether an instructional practice is supported by evidence or causal factors. They describe the literacy process with an overview of related learning theories, language and literacy assessments, and evidence-based instructional strategies across the National Reading Panel's five areas of literacy instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. The volume includes evidence-based writing strategies and case vignettes that highlight application of assessments and instructional strategies within each of these literacy areas. Crucially, it reviews the remaining challenges related to literacy instruction for DHH learners. Educators and parents who provide literacy instruction to DHH learners will benefit from the breadth and depth of literacy content provided in this concise literacy textbook. |
