Assignment Task:
When families are first introduced to the Response to Intervention (RTI) process, it can be overwhelming to understand why their child is receiving interventions, what the process will entail, and how the tiers are utilized. Early childhood educators have the responsibility of including families in the RTI process and helping them to understand it.
Create a 500-750 word pamphlet to provide to families explaining the RTI process. Include the following in your pamphlet:
Brief definition of each tier in the RTI model (Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3) and discuss the importance of this model in supporting student literacy needs.
Discuss common questions families might ask about RTI, including answers to any misconceptions families might have.
Identify the length and frequency of instruction at each tier.
Provide an example of an evidence-based best practice for each tier.
Explain how students needing Tier 2 and Tier 3 instruction will be determined.
Discuss 2-3 classroom strategies that the teacher will use to motivate and engage students receiving Tier 2 and Tier 3 instruction.
Explain how progress is monitored for each tier and how that progress will be communicated to families.
Provide 1-2 ways families can support their children throughout the RTI process.
The pamphlet should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.
Support your assignment with 3-5 scholarly resources.
