Week 4 assignment # 1

RTI is a literacy instruction program based on a 3 Tier model. Tier 1 is where all students receive effective differentiated instruction by their regular classroom teacher.About 80- 85% of students are successful. Students that are not making a sufficient amount of progress, receive intervention in smaller groups either by the regular teacher or with a specialist. This is tier 2. Students that need more intervention move to tier 3, where the level of instruction is more and the number of students is less.some of these students might be refereed to special education services.

I feel that RTI is a very effective way of teaching literacy to children.  The thing that makes it so successful that it does not allow students to fall through the cracks.  The students achievements and levels are constantly assessed to see whether they are doing well or need assisstance. My question is how does the teacher decide if a student needs additonal instruction, are the assessments enough?

If teachers show respects and believes in their ELL students, then their peers and classmates will respect and treat them the same like anyone else in the class. Working with parents is extremely important, since they can be of help and make the progress that much easier and smoot...
