Book Synopsis Simplifying Response to Intervention by : Austin Buffum
Download or read book Simplifying Response to Intervention written by Austin Buffum and published by Solution Tree. This book was released on 2012 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sequel to the bestselling Pyramid Response to Intervention, authors Buffum, Mattos, and Weber advocate that an effective RTI model begins by asking the right questions. RTI is not a series of implementation steps to cross off a list, the authors suggest, but rather a way of thinking about how educators can ensure that each child receives the time and support needed to succeed in school and in life. When educators base their thinking about RTI on four essential guiding principles, they will find the most effective answers to implementation questions. The four essential principles of pyramid response to intervention explored in the book are:1.Collective responsibility¿A shared belief that the primary responsibility of each member of the organization is to ensure high levels of learning for every child2.Concentrated instruction¿A collaborative process that focuses teacher teams on the skills and knowledge most important to the student and his or her future3.Convergent assessment¿An ongoing process of collecting targeted information to add depth and breadth to the understanding of each student¿s individual needs, obstacles, and points of learning leverage4.Certain access¿A systematic process that guarantees every student will receive the time and support needed to learn at high levelsDrawing from their experiences working with hundreds of schools across North America, the authors explain why bureaucratic, paperwork-heavy, compliance-oriented, test-score-driven approaches fail¿and then show how to create an RTI model that works. They address both academics and behavior in each chapter, and provide considerations for district leadership as well.The authors begin by presenting an inverted version of the RTI pyramid that narrows the focus to each individual child. In their re-envisioned pyramid, the work of RTI is divided between collaborative teacher teams and two schoolwide teams: a leadership team and an intervention team. Together, the whole school assumes collective responsibility for the learning of every student. They build structures of collaboration by creating learning-focused teams, embedding time for collaboration into the school day, and developing forms and processes that support, rather than overwhelm, those who do the work of RTI.To create an effective program of concentrated instruction, collaborative teacher teams define essential learnings that every student must master, establish what proficiency would look like, design common formative assessments, and administer instruction and intervention in Tiers 1 and 2 on universal academic skills such as reading, writing, and number sense. The schoolwide intervention team, composed of members with a variety of expertise and experience, takes responsibility for supporting students who struggle due to issues of motivation, attendance, behavior, and English language proficiency. The schoolwide team also provides support to students with intensive needs at Tier 3.In convergent assessment, teacher teams assess in a sequence of identifying students who need help, determining specific student needs and the appropriate interventions, monitoring the results of interventions, and extending or revising the intervention based on the results of progress monitoring. The authors debunk common myths about universal screening and thoroughly explain the role of common formative assessments in the RTI process. Collaborative teams also build a toolbox of interventions. The authors define the characteristics of effective interventions, explain the difference between Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions, and offer a compelling rationale for determining who should deliver an intervention: asking, who on our staff is best qualified to meet this child¿s needs? Ultimately, the point of RTI is to ensure that every child has certain access to the support he or she needs to be successful. The authors describe how to ensure that processes have been established to ensure certain access to interventions and, when necessary, to special education identification.

Book Synopsis Visible Learning for Science, Grades K-12 by : John Almarode
Download or read book Visible Learning for Science, Grades K-12 written by John Almarode and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the best science classrooms, teachers see learning through the eyes of their students, and students view themselves as explorers. But with so many instructional approaches to choose from—inquiry, laboratory, project-based learning, discovery learning—which is most effective for student success? In Visible Learning for Science, the authors reveal that it’s not which strategy, but when, and plot a vital K-12 framework for choosing the right approach at the right time, depending on where students are within the three phases of learning: surface, deep, and transfer. Synthesizing state-of-the-art science instruction and assessment with over fifteen years of John Hattie’s cornerstone educational research, this framework for maximum learning spans the range of topics in the life and physical sciences. Employing classroom examples from all grade levels, the authors empower teachers to plan, develop, and implement high-impact instruction for each phase of the learning cycle: Surface learning: when, through precise approaches, students explore science concepts and skills that give way to a deeper exploration of scientific inquiry. Deep learning: when students engage with data and evidence to uncover relationships between concepts—students think metacognitively, and use knowledge to plan, investigate, and articulate generalizations about scientific connections. Transfer learning: when students apply knowledge of scientific principles, processes, and relationships to novel contexts, and are able to discern and innovate to solve complex problems. Visible Learning for Science opens the door to maximum-impact science teaching, so that students demonstrate more than a year’s worth of learning for a year spent in school.

Book excerpt: Beyond the RTI Pyramid: Solutions for the First Years of Implementation addresses the need to deepen response to intervention efforts based on practical implementation issues and emerging research. RTI is used to ensure a successful learning experience for all students by targeting specific areas where students struggle and eliminating threats to learning and development. The author analyzes how RTI is implemented, how it functions, and its implications for general and special education teachers and students. He shows how to extend the RTI process to apply not just to reading, but also to math and to behavior, and further explains how to make RTI effective in middle and secondary schools. Using his experience in workshops with real schools implementing RTI, he outlines typical implementation issues and provides clear, straightforward guidance to classroom teachers on documenting the process, contacting parents, compliance with the law, and preparing for meetings to determine a student's eligibility for special services. This resource also explains the changing role of speech language pathologists and other school staff.

Book Synopsis Naked Statistics: Stripping the Dread from the Data by : Charles Wheelan
Download or read book Naked Statistics: Stripping the Dread from the Data written by Charles Wheelan and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2013-01-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller "Brilliant, funny…the best math teacher you never had." —San Francisco Chronicle Once considered tedious, the field of statistics is rapidly evolving into a discipline Hal Varian, chief economist at Google, has actually called "sexy." From batting averages and political polls to game shows and medical research, the real-world application of statistics continues to grow by leaps and bounds. How can we catch schools that cheat on standardized tests? How does Netflix know which movies you’ll like? What is causing the rising incidence of autism? As best-selling author Charles Wheelan shows us in Naked Statistics, the right data and a few well-chosen statistical tools can help us answer these questions and more. For those who slept through Stats 101, this book is a lifesaver. Wheelan strips away the arcane and technical details and focuses on the underlying intuition that drives statistical analysis. He clarifies key concepts such as inference, correlation, and regression analysis, reveals how biased or careless parties can manipulate or misrepresent data, and shows us how brilliant and creative researchers are exploiting the valuable data from natural experiments to tackle thorny questions. And in Wheelan’s trademark style, there’s not a dull page in sight. You’ll encounter clever Schlitz Beer marketers leveraging basic probability, an International Sausage Festival illuminating the tenets of the central limit theorem, and a head-scratching choice from the famous game show Let’s Make a Deal—and you’ll come away with insights each time. With the wit, accessibility, and sheer fun that turned Naked Economics into a bestseller, Wheelan defies the odds yet again by bringing another essential, formerly unglamorous discipline to life.
Download or read book Mindstorms written by Seymour A Papert and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this revolutionary book, a renowned computer scientist explains the importance of teaching children the basics of computing and how it can prepare them to succeed in the ever-evolving tech world. Computers have completely changed the way we teach children. We have Mindstorms to thank for that. In this book, pioneering computer scientist Seymour Papert uses the invention of LOGO, the first child-friendly programming language, to make the case for the value of teaching children with computers. Papert argues that children are more than capable of mastering computers, and that teaching computational processes like de-bugging in the classroom can change the way we learn everything else. He also shows that schools saturated with technology can actually improve socialization and interaction among students and between students and teachers. Technology changes every day, but the basic ways that computers can help us learn remain. For thousands of teachers and parents who have sought creative ways to help children learn with computers, Mindstorms is their bible.
Book Synopsis The 160-Character Solution by : Benjamin L. Castleman
Download or read book The 160-Character Solution written by Benjamin L. Castleman and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2015-11-15 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating study that brings the power of behavioral economics to how schools work, how students learn, and how we can help them succeed. For decades schools have invested substantial resources in boosting educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, but those investments have not always generated positive outcomes. Although many communities have expanded school choice, for example, families often choose to keep their children in failing schools. And while the federal government has increased the size of Pell Grants, many college-bound students who would be eligible for aid never apply. Then there is the troubling trend of “summer melt,” in which up to 40 percent of high school graduates who have been accepted to college, mostly from underserved communities, fail to show up for the fall semester. In The 160-Character Solution, Benjamin L. Castleman shows how insights from behavioral economics—the study of how social, cognitive, and emotional factors affect our decisions—can be leveraged to help students complete assignments, perform to their full potential on tests, and choose schools and colleges where they are well positioned for success. By employing behavioral strategies or “nudges,” Castleman shows, administrators, teachers, and parents can dramatically improve educational outcomes from preschool to college. Castleman applies the science of decision making to explain why inequalities persist at various stages in education and to identify innovative solutions to improve students’ academic achievement and attainment. By focusing on behavioral changes, Castleman demonstrates that small changes in how we ask questions, design applications, and tailor reminders can have remarkable impacts on student and school success.
