The text summarizes how special education differs from general education, as well as a range of alternative learning environments, proceeding from least to most restrictive. The chapter discusses methods of identifying students with learning and/or behavior problems, and addresses issues associated with the IQ-achievement discrepancy approach. Chapter one provides an overview of Response to Intervention (RTI) models including descriptions of the learner, teacher, and instructional cycle. Strategies for monitoring and evaluating student progress are also included. Additionally, the chapter provides a summary of steps for developing an Individualized Education Program (IEP) and methods of assessing and monitoring progress. The text introduces differentiated instruction and presents information about designing effective instruction as well as several techniques for differentiating to meet students’ diverse needs in inclusive settings.

Observe a student with learning and/or behavior problems for about 30 minutes. Once every minute, note briefly in writing what the student is doing (e.g., “yawning, looking out the window,” or “turned around in his seat,” or “talking with the student behind her”). This is called interval sampling (discussed in chapter 4). What characteristics of students with learning and behavior problems do you notice? Compare your list with the behaviors described at the beginning of chapter 1. 2. Students with severe learning and behavior problems may receive a range of support services, including reading or math support, counseling, individualized instruction with a teaching assistant, and special education. Find out the educational supports and services available for these students at a school in your district. What is the role of paraprofessionals who work with these students? 3. Visit a local school and see how their Response to Intervention (RTI) procedure is organized. Conduct an interview with the special education teacher or other professional involved in directing the RTI program. Learn about the types of interventions that are provided for students at each tier. 4. Gather information about the procedure for conducting Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings at a school. Who usually attends IEP meetings? If parents cannot attend an IEP meeting at school, what is the procedure for obtaining their participation in the development of their child’s IEP? Are students encouraged to attend their own IEP meeting? Are the students given assistance in preparing for meetings? Inquire about IEP meetings and, if possible, attend one as an observer. 2 Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 5. Reflect on your teaching. What components of effective instruction do you currently incorporate in your instruction? If you could change any aspect of your approach to setting instructional goals, planning and delivering instruction, evaluating your effectiveness, or modifying instruction, what would it be? Discuss your views on these issues with another teacher. THINK AND APPLY 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. What are some of the characteristics of students with learning and behavior problems? What factors should be considered when the teacher is assessing the severity of a learning or behavior problem? What are the most common ways in which individuals with learning disabilities are identified? Explain the issues associated with the IQ-achievement discrepancy approach. What is an individualized education program (IEP), and how is it developed? What types of goals are included in a student’s IEP? Why? What is the transition process for individuals with disabilities, and why is it important? IN teaching students with learning and behavior problems, what does the learner bring to the learning setting, and what does the teacher bring to the learning setting? Explain how teachers use the instructional cycle in a flexible way to meet the needs of students with learning and behavior problems. What tools can be used to monitor student progress? What does it mean to differentiate instruction? How do flexible groups and scaffolding help teachers differentiate instruction to meet diverse student needs? Using the list of questions for evaluating the instructional process (1-5 Apply the Concept), apply the questions to your classroom teaching or to the teaching of a teacher you observe. Explain why this type of evaluation is important to the teaching-learning process. SUGGESTED READINGS Fuchs, L. S., & Vaughn, S. (2012). Responsiveness-to-intervention: A decade later.

Chapter 2 Approaches to Learning and Teaching OVERVIEW Chapter 2 presents approaches to instruction that enhance the teaching-learning process. Basic principles are presented to work with three teaching-learning models: applied behavior analysis (ABA), cognitive strategy instruction (CSI), and social learning and executive functioning (metacognition). Implications of the application of these models are presented to help teachers grasp their value in the teaching and learning process. The chapter provides numerous examples that illustrate the application of these theories to the teaching of students with learning and behavior problems. Later chapters reference these theories to assist practitioners in making connections between theory and practice. LEARNING OUTCOMES 1. 2. 3. Explain applied behavioral analysis and how teachers can use it in classrooms to increase desirable behaviors and decrease undesirable behaviors. Provide an overview of how teachers can use cognitive strategy instruction (CSI) to teach academic, cognitive, or social skills. Describe social learning practices and executive functioning; then list several practices that might influence both executive processing and academic outcomes. FOCUS QUESTIONS 1. 2. 3. 4. How can teachers use applied behavior analysis (ABA) to help students unlearn undesirable behaviors and learn new and appropriate behaviors? How is cognitive strategy instruction used to engage students actively in the learning process? What strategies or skills are taught in CSI to help students develop in academic, cognitive, and social areas? How can teachers use the features of social learning to make instruction more effective particularly for students with learning and behavior problems? KEY TOPICS FOR MASTERY • • • • Principles of applied behavior analysis including manipulation of the antecedents and consequences of behaviors to change behavior and improve learning Strategies for increasing and decreasing behaviors and their implications for teaching Stages of learning such as entry, acquisition, proficiency, maintenance, generalization, and application Principles of cognitive strategy instruction (CSI) including strategy steps, modeling, selfregulation, verbalization, and reflective thinking 5 Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. • • • Application of CSI guidelines and their effect on students with learning and behavior problems Principles of social learning and interactive dialogue Application of dialogue, scaffolding, and self-talk and the use of metacognitive strategies such as self-regulation LEARNING ACTIVITIES 1. Using a case study of a student with learning and/or behavior problems (approved by your professor), determine the next step in developing a plan to work with the student. 2. Choose one theory or approach presented in chapter 2 of your textbook. Select a topic and develop a demonstration lesson that shows how to incorporate the use of the theoretical approach in a classroom setting. 3. Develop a plan to use cognitive strategy instruction (CSI) to teach a learning strategy to a group of students with learning disabilities. Include activities for each of the stages of learning and tell how you would assess the students’ degree of proficiency at each level. 4. Consider the importance of scaffolding instruction for students with learning problems. Select a skill you might teach a group of students who struggle with reading. For example, you might teach students how to use the context as they read to help them understand an unfamiliar word. Write the dialogue that might unfold as you scaffold instruction for these students. THINK AND APPLY 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. What procedures can be used to increase desirable behavior? To decrease undesirable behavior? What are the stages of learning, and how can they be applied to teaching a student a new target behavior? What are the common characteristics of cognitive strategy instruction (CSI)? Using the common features associated with CSI, design a strategy that one could use to solve subtraction problems with regrouping. Imagine a classroom in which social learning practices are employed. How do these practices improve learning for students who struggle? What are the four specific processes in the information-processing system? How might students with learning and behavior problems struggle with each of these processes? 6 Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. SUGGESTED READINGS Gresham, F.

Chapter 3 Response to Intervention and Multi-Tiered System of Supports OVERVIEW Chapter 3 describes the progression of the Response to Intervention (RTI) model and multitiered system of supports (MTSS). It discusses the impact of the reauthorization of IDEA (IDEIA 2004) with its recommendation that RTI models be used as a means of preventing learning and behavior difficulties. Chapter 3 explains RTI and MTSS as a combined general and special education initiative with critical components such as universal screening, progress monitoring, data-based decision making, and tiers of intervention that are implemented systematically. This chapter also highlights the role of teachers in RTI and MTSS models, describing the importance of research-based classroom instruction and collaboration among teachers and other professionals. Some children may not respond well to interventions, and the text offers explanations. Additional concerns addressed in chapter 3 include RTI for students who are culturally and linguistically diverse and the importance of family involvement. LEARNING OUTCOMES 1. 2. 3. 4. Describe the Response to Intervention (RTI) model and multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS). Describe universal screening and how it fits into RTI and MTSS. List the components and implementation practices associated with the RTI and MTSS approaches. Identify the roles and responsibilities of a teacher in an RTI or MTSS system. FOCUS QUESTIONS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. How did we come to use the Response to Intervention (RTI) model? How does RTI help educators identify students who have learning or behavior problems? How does universal screening fit into RTI? What are the components and implementation practices in an RTI model? What is the role of the teacher in an RTI model? KEY TOPICS FOR MASTERY • • • • • • • How Response to Intervention (RTI) is used to identify students with learning disabilities How RTI fits into the Individuals with Disabilities Act (2004) Three tiers of intervention Difference between standard treatment protocol and problem solving model Purpose of decision-making teams in an RTI model Recognizing the nonresponder Using RTI approaches for students who are culturally and linguistically diverse 8 Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. • • • • The role of the family in the RTI process Universal screening in the RTI model Progress monitoring to assess students’ response to intervention The role of the teacher in the RTI model LEARNING ACTIVITIES 1. Visit several different grade levels to see how educators are implementing the response to intervention approach (RTI). Describe how they are identifying students with disabilities and how they deliver interventions. 2. Find out which educational supports and services are available for students with learning and behavior problems in a school district. Ask about the typical service schedule for students receiving interventions. Talk with one or more general education teachers about their approach to working with students who have learning disabilities or behavior problems. 3. Visit a local school and see how the Response to Intervention (RTI) procedure is organized. Conduct interviews with the site administrator and a service provider (e.g., teacher) to find out the types of interventions used and progress monitoring procedures. Find out their plan of action for nonresponders. 4. Explain why you think IDEIA (2004) promoted RTI as a means for preventing learning difficulties and furthering accurate identification of students with learning disabilities. How does RTI differ from previous identification procedures? 5. Set up an interview with a classroom teacher who uses RTI. Prior to the interview, draft questions about the following topics: a) the teacher’s use of evidence-based instruction; b) the teacher’s role in universal screening; c) the teacher’s approach to progress monitoring. Ask your questions during the interview and summarize the teacher’s answers. 6. Observe a classroom that utilizes an RTI model and note the roles of both the special education and general education teacher. In what manner do they work together and/or independently to achieve student success? THINK AND APPLY 1. 2. 3. How are RTI models different from previous prereferral and special education models? What are the benefits of universal screening? If you have experience with universal screening, describe how it helps you identify students who are at risk. If you don’t have experience, talk to a teacher with experience and ask how universal screening helps teachers identify students who are at risk. Why is progress monitoring essential? Discuss this question with a practicing teacher. 9 Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.
