Model implementation Teacher Perceptions of implementation Implications for practice
The growth of ELLs in schools + limitations around teachers’ preparation in teaching ELLs coupled with the prevalence of learning disabilities = Complicated student profiles for teachers, schools, and states Imisidentification and referral of ELL for special education Leos and Demilio--2005 reported that while special education training averaged 40 hours, 60% special education teachers who also worked with at least 3 ELL only received an average of 3 additional hours of training
Thus applyig this model to schools with this growing population of students…. We must think ….Beyond the one teacher… one classroom…to school wide systems…. I developed this description of RTI as a conceptual model for my research work in addressing the needs ELL in urban settings/
All grades 3 times a year except K- only winter & spring
Ad current year plus YA, FES, HA
After the first year- school rates decreased from 10- 5%
(MaRTInez, Graves and Heckman 2008, March Communique): “However, in the case of RTI successful collaboration can serve the immediate needs of both schools and universities while further advancing the common goal of widespread RTI implementation and a greater awareness of the importance of research based educational practice.” Revisit this idea.
