Happy Tiers: A Response to Intervention model

[oviedo2912]

Seems that if PARENTS spent an additional 30 mins. at home reading with their child, they might not need to be placed in Tier 2 to begin with. But what you see today is that the more the system does for students, the less involved parents become.

This video was informative about RTI. I liked seeing that the principle and teachers were involoved to get the students to success. They really seem very supportive of this program.

This video was informative and had a get breakdown of the RTI process. It gave a good description of how the program is implemented in their school. I like seeing the program in progress, I feel like I learn more watching these videos rather than reading about the program.

Great video. I like that fact that the teachers make it a priority to meet weekly to collaborate on how to meet the needs of their students. I think that this is very important.

[apgossett]

This was a very informative video. I like how the teachers even admitted that they are learning from this program. The principal seems like she is very supportive of the teachers and the students needs.

The video explains that literacy is important to everyone at the school. Everyone works together to help the student. They all collaborate so all children are helped and doesn't slip through the crack. I love the collaboration model.

I like the statement, "Literacy in an elementary school is everybodies business." The teachers in the video explained the RTI process very thoroughly. Looking at this video one can have a clear picture of how a unique plan is created and implemented for a student.

The Response to Intervention method ensures that students' needs are met and they do not fall through the crack. By implementing this program early, struggling readers receive the support and resources they need to catch up, and be on grade level rather than getting farther behind.

This video talks about how parents need to be involved in the referral meeting. It also states that tier 1 is all teachers teaching all students .

This video explains the different ways to help students. The teachers in this video explain how they go about helping the students by meeting with other teacher or viewing their scores to determine where they should start the student in the intervention program. If the students are successful in tier 2 the student is ready to go on as scheduled or if not successful, the student goes to a smaller group setting in tier 3.

This video tells about Iron Springs Elementary School's Happy Tiers Intervention Model for reading which focus on phonics. Wonderful video.

This video shows how students can gain that extra help that maybe needed. It showed how a school can come together and use the varous tiers to help students succeed.

[sbrookins84]

This was a good video that gave a very visual description of how RTI plans work and are carried out.

[sbrookins84]

This was a good overview of how RTI plans can help students to achieve. This video also mention collaboration....this is something that you must have if RTI's are going to be a success.

I think that it is very important to teach phonics to students at an early age and that it helps tremendously with word formation.

I also thought the video was interesting because it showed that children actually enjoyed the process. Also, they mentioned in the video that they use computer software for students who move in from different counties or states. This was interesting to me because it shows as a way to help those students who may be on a different program or level to catch up.

This video had significant importance that it showed that everyone receives Tier 1 for 30 minutes each day. In Tier 2, the aids that will be helping students are highly trained. This Tier is for the students who need more help and they receive 30 minutes of phonics instruction and 30 minutes of literacy instruction. RTI helps prevent children from slipping through the crack as stated in the video. Also, all students’ needs are met.

I really liked the weekly collaboration used to make sure every child's need is met over the monthly meeting that some other schools used. I thought they did a great job of getting in depth in Tier 2 and Tier 3 of intervention.

[DebbieCarraway]

I like their explanation of role of collaboration saying that every child's needs are met. I like the time frame how they split the tiers up into 30 minute segments. Very informative video.

[BrittanyASURams]

The video put a real-life perspective of how the 3 tier model is used in a school setting. It discussed how the teachers developed ways to include the 3 tier model in phonics instruction and how collaboration between teachers improved the program.

[shandoria]

All the teachers teach Tier one. Its good that the Specialist is also in volved in the meeting. The collaboration model allows every child needs to be meet.

[scochrane1]

This was a very nice overview of RTI and the different tiers. I'm impressed with this school district's implementation of RTI as well as by their video.

[BrenttheGreat]

I am glad our School District is trying hard to meet the needs of the kids. This was a well made, informative video. Thanks
