During the previous academic year, the S-Team members at Rosa Parks
Elementary School spent a lot of time deciding whether to replace

00:00:08,090 --> 00:00:15,180
the IQ-achievement discrepancy model with the
Response-to-Intervention, or RTI, approach to identify students who

00:00:15,180 --> 00:00:22,050
have a learning disability. They decided to use the RTI approach
because it would allow them to provide immediate help to struggling

00:00:22,050 --> 00:00:29,150
readers and to identify students with learning disabilities before
they experience several years of academic failure.

00:00:29,150 --> 00:00:37,210
Rosa Parks Elementary School is now in its first year of implementing
the RTI approach. After receiving extensive training last spring on

00:00:37,210 --> 00:00:45,180
the procedures, the first-grade teachers are piloting the new approach.
As Mrs. Hernandez, one of the first-grade teachers, begins to work

00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:54,030
through the new RTI approach, she has questions about how and when
students are assessed and how struggling readers are identified.
