Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study investigated Wisconsin teacher perceptions of Response to Intervention (Rt). Specifically, the study investigated teacher perceptions of RtI and if overall experience, RtI exposure, and amount of RtI training was associated with teacher perceptions of RtI. Elementary school teachers from school districts (teaching kindergarten through 5th grade) across the state of Wisconsin were randomly selected for the sample. Partipants were asked to complete an onine survey regarding their experiences with and perceptions of RtI. Teachers who had extensive training in RtI methods and procedures had a more positive perception of the effects of RtI on teachers and students compared to teachers who had little or no training. For teachers who were in schools using RtI, results were inconclusive when examing teacher perceptions related to RtI's overall effectiveness as an education model and its effect on teachers and students. Future research might focus on perceptions of teachers in Wisconsin following legislative changes to special education law." -page iii.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Response to Intervention is an innovative approach that has been included in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act as an acceptable means of identifying and providing educational services to students with Specific Learning Disabilities. However, to date, only 12 states have adopted a Response to Intervention (RtI) model in favor of the traditional Discrepancy Model despite the Discrepancy Model's many documented flaws. In order to understand why school personnel are slow to implement this new approach, an investigation of the possible barriers, including the perceptions and professional development needs of school personnel, was needed. The current perceptions, knowledge, and professional development needs of general education teachers and school principals in Wisconsin were examined through online survey research. Results from this survey revealed that both general education teachers and school principals were familiar with the terms and/or principles of RtI and CBMs and had positive perceptions of RtI and CBMs. Results also indicated that general education teachers and school principals endorsed a need for further professional development in all seventeen areas surveyed. Furthermore, compared to the classroom teachers, principals indicated higher levels of familiarity with RtI, more positive perceptions of RtI and CBMs, and a greater need for professional development in four of the seventeen areas. These findings point to a need for, and the previous research underscores, the importance of providing professional development to educators for successful implementation of RtI.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has added a new rule pertaining to Response to Intervention and its use in identifying students with learning disabilities, with a projected date of implementation for all districts in the state of December 1, 2013. Due to this change, it is critical to gain information regarding participation in activities related to, and perceptions toward Response to Intervention in Wisconsin school districts. These perceptions and self-reported job activities can provide valuable information regarding the status of Response to Intervention in the state and the roles school psychologists are fulfilling in the process. The current study explored the perceptions of school psychologists in the state of Wisconsin about (a) activities related to Response to Intervention (RtI) that are occurring within the schools and districts they work in, (b) activities they participated in as a school psychologist in relation to RtI, and (c) level of readiness school psychologists believed their district was in the implementation of RtI. Results suggest almost half of participants reported their school districts were either just beginning to implement RtI, or need to begin implementation. Many of the initial components of an RtI system were reported as taking place in these school districts. It was also found that school psychologists are engaged at high percentages in activities related to RtI, including problem-solving teams, district planning of RtI, interpretation of progress-monitoring data, designing interventions, and in reviewing screening data. Some differences were noted in participation in activities based on number of years practiced, grade levels served, number of schools assigned to, and number of students served. Challenges to implementation as reported by school psychologists are also discussed.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of their careers, educators experience constant innovation and school reform (Hargreaves, 2005). Although teachers' perceptions of school-based reform initiatives significantly influence their interest and willingness to implement new practices (Reimers et al., 1987), teachers' perspectives are rarely examined or considered before, during, or after implementation of reform initiatives (Nielsen et al., 2008; Shirley & Hargreaves, 2006). By understanding the connection between teacher variables and their perceptions of reform, schools will be better equipped to address and overcome participation barriers, implement reform with integrity, and enhance the achievement of all students. This study sought to examine the influence of four factors - congruent teaching philosophy, teacher self-efficacy beliefs, amount of teaching experience, and characteristics and evidence-based components of professional development (PD) - on perceptions of the response-to-intervention (RtI) school-wide reform initiative among 209 elementary (Grades 4K-5) general and special education teachers. Study findings indicated that congruent teaching philosophy, general personal efficacy beliefs, personal efficacy beliefs related to RtI, and PD were significantly associated with teachers' perceptions of RtI. Furthermore, the effect of PD on teachers' perceptions of RtI was found to be partially mediated through teachers' personal efficacy beliefs related to RtI. The current study sheds light on the nature of PD currently being offered in schools on RtI and discusses implications for systems change and future research.
Book Synopsis Effects of Strategically Designed Professional Development Experiences on Teacher Perceptions of Response to Interventions Tier 1 Instructional Strategies by : Marie Anderson-Smolinski

This book was released on 2015 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research study was to determine the effects of strategically designed professional development experiences on teacher perceptions of use of tier 1 response to intervention instructional strategies. This study was motivated by recent changes in course offerings in a general education Language Arts Department at a high school. Staff members from the English Language Arts Department along with the Special Education Department collaborated to address how to effectively meet the needs of a more heterogeneous mix of students in their general education classrooms. Pre and post surveys were used to collect quantitative data to strategically design, administer, and evaluate the effects professional development experiences to general and special education teachers. Based on the results of these baseline surveys and conversations with both special and general education teachers, the tier 1 instructional strategies of co-teaching in the inclusionary setting and differentiation were identified as essential strategies to improve to meet the needs of all students. Following the professional development experiences, the post survey was used to analyze and evaluate the effects the professional development experiences had on the teachers' perceptions of both the priority of and confidence in use of the identified response to intervention tier 1 instruction strategies.

Book Synopsis General Education and Special Education Teachers' Beliefs and Perceptions of Skills for Response to Intervention (RTI) by :
Download or read book General Education and Special Education Teachers' Beliefs and Perceptions of Skills for Response to Intervention (RTI) written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes in the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) have opened a door to a new outlook on educational services in both general education and special education. Response to Intervention (RTI) is an answer to the changes prescribed in that legislation. RTI is a promising framework for education reform that focuses on tier instructions and prevention of academic failure. The reform will also affect, for example, the way Learning Disabilities are identified, teachers responsibilities and roles in instructional services for students in general education and the melding of special education and general education resources in the provision of instruction at the universal level. However, the decision to implement RTI, like other education reforms, often comes from the top. Teachers' voices -- their opinions -- whether they want the reform or are ready for the changes -- are rarely heard. This study aims to understand teachers' own perceptions of their skills related to implementing RTI and their beliefs about the potential efficacy of the RTI framework. The finding suggested that training may be the leading factor to foster teachers' belief in the RTI framework and their confidence to implement the change.

Book Synopsis Understanding Standards and Assessment Policy in Science Education by :
Download or read book Understanding Standards and Assessment Policy in Science Education written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current literature shows that many science teachers view policies of standards-based and test-based accountability as conflicting with research-based instruction in science education. With societal goals of improving scientific literacy and using science to spur economic growth, improving science education policy becomes especially important. To understand perceived influences of science education policy, this study looked at three questions: 1) How do teachers perceive state science standards and assessment and their influence on curriculum and instruction? 2) How do these policy perspectives vary by district and teacher level demographic and contextual differences? 3) How do district leaders' interpretations of and efforts within these policy realms relate to teachers' perceptions of the policies? To answer these questions, this study used a stratified sample of 53 districts across Wisconsin, with 343 middle school science teachers responding to an online survey; science instructional leaders from each district were also interviewed. Survey results were analyzed using multiple regression modeling, with models generally predicting 8-14% of variance in teacher perceptions. Open-ended survey and interview responses were analyzed using a constant comparative approach. Results suggested that many teachers saw state testing as limiting use of hands-on pedagogy, while standards were seen more positively. Teachers generally held similar views of the degree of influence of standards and testing regardless of their experience, background in science, credentials, or grade level taught. District SES, size and past WKCE scores had some limited correlations to teachers' views of policy, but teachers' perceptions of district policies and leadership consistently had the largest correlation to their views. District leadership views of these state policies correlated with teachers' views. Implications and future research directions are provided.
