Friday, March 11, 2011 Pass It On Education Tools: Response To Intervention--RTI--Another Excellent Resource On January 29th I posted about "the" source for Response To Intervention (RTI) information. Well...I stand somewhat corrected! I've since become familiar with another rich source of RTI information! As I wrote in my previous blog post: "Many schools and districts have developed and implemented Response To Intervention (RTI) plans. Others have that task ahead of them. Regardless of where your school or district is at on this time line, chances are that many professionals on your staff do not know enough about RTI." in that post, I recommended an excellent web site by The American Institutes for Research, supported by the U.S. Department of Education. Now, I'll recommend a web site by The National Center for Learning Disabilities. It is an excellent source as well! Click the image below to visit!  Does your school have a Response To Intervention (RTI) plan in place? Please leave a comment to share your thoughts or experiences. Posted at 2:24 PM (permalink)

Thursday, February 3, 2011 Discipline: Suspending The Education Of Students By Mandating VacationsThe decision to remove a child from an instructional setting for any reason is increasingly frowned upon. Students miss instructional time for quite a few reasons in our schools. From scheduled school activities including games and contests, to out-of-school appointments and family obligations, to pull-outs from other instruction to remediate unrelated instructional deficits, to all sorts of other discretionary activities. Perhaps the most difficult to reconcile is taking at-risk students out of the instructional setting for disciplinary reasons. The learning gaps may never be closed. In-School suspension and DAEP are, at least, educational settings. Theoretically, the student is still getting instructional support and benefits from the structure of a school setting. Suspension out-of-school, however, is another concession altogether. Many at-risk students welcome out-of-school suspension as a free day (or more) to explore their world outside of school, typically without much adult oversight. Accordingly, my experience has been an increasing hesitancy to suspend students out-of-school except in situations requiring the immediate removal of a student from campus. Typically, even then, we get them back on campus or on a disciplinary campus (DAEP, for example) within three days. The article below cites a counter-trend in NYC schools that is the result of mandatory out-of-school suspensions for nearly thirty offenses. There are quite a few interesting details in this article that may cause you to question the wisdom or efficacy of "mandatory" consequences directing free student vacations for our worst offenders. Removing students from the instructional setting, on occasion (for one or another reason), is unavoidable. Even emergency removals to out-of-school settings are unavoidable. Can anyone, however, defend the numbers cited in this New York Times article? Would you rather these thousands of young people be wandering the streets...or...is there a better way to "discipline" students without offering free vacation time? Much more detail can be found in the article by clicking the image below. A few lines from the article follow: "The number of New York City student suspensions more than doubled in the six years after Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg took control of public schools and as the city moved toward a zero-tolerance approach toward misbehavior, according to a report released on Thursday. The report, compiled by the New York Civil Liberties Union and based on 10 years of previously undisclosed suspension statistics, echoed a nationwide trend toward mandatory suspensions for an increasing variety of infractions. In the city, at least, the suspensions have also kept students away from the classroom for longer periods." ...Of roughly 74,000 suspensions given out in the 2008-9 school year, about 11,000 lasted one to five days, while 5,500 ran anywhere from 30 days to one year, the analysis shows. There were roughly 32,000 suspensions in 2002, and the vast majority of them lasted five days or less."...The report recommends ending the zero-tolerance policy and improving access to guidance counselors, social workers and school psychologists. It also asks the Education Department to make its data more accessible; Ms. Lieberman said it took her organization two years to get the statistics on suspensions through a Freedom of Information Law request."

Saturday, January 29, 2011 Pass It On Education Tools: Response To Intervention? Might As Well Go To The Source!Many schools and districts have developed and implemented Response To Intervention (RTI) plans. Others have that task ahead of them. Regardless of where your school or district is at on this time line, chances are that many professionals on your staff do not know enough about RTI. The resources below can help! The American Institutes for Research, supported by the U.S. Department of Education, developed RTI. They have an excellent web site that describes it as follows: "Response to intervention integrates assessment and intervention within a multi-level prevention system to maximize student achievement and to reduce behavior problems. With RTI, schools identify students at risk for poor learning outcomes, monitor student progress, provide evidence-based interventions and adjust the intensity and nature of those interventions depending on a student’s responsiveness, and identify students with learning disabilities or other disabilities. To learn more about RTI, see the Essential Components of RTI – A Closer Look at Response to Intervention."  Check It Out! Pass It On! Posted at 7:21 PM (permalink)
