Do bias or inappropriate practice play a role in the placement of culturally and linguistically diverse students in special education? Is the representation of low-income students in special education programs larger than their representation in the school population at your child’s school? If the answers to these questions are yes, it is possible your child’s school may be facing a problem that is called “overrepresentation” in its special education programs. This paper is one of... - 1/14/09 - Smith, S.C.
As educators and practitioners continue to seek effective interventions to prevent dropout, they must focus on identifying, monitoring, and addressing risk factors that are influenced by teachers (e.g., academic performance, peer and adult interactions, attendance, and behavior). - 1/2/10 - Center on Education Policy,
"Disparities between boys and girls in reading and mathematics achievement have long been a concern among educators. While the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) does not hold school systems directly accountable for making adequate yearly progress (AYP) for the male and female subgroups, as it does for racial/ethnic and other subgroups, the Act does require states and school districts to publicly report test results broken down by gender. These requirements to disaggregate and publicize test... - 1/3/09 - Gersten, R. , Beckmann, S. , Clarke, B. , Foegen, A. , Marsh, L. , Star, J. R. , Witzel, B.
This Practice Guide, released by IES in April 2009, aims to help educators develop and implement Response to Intervention to assist students struggling in math. The focus is building an instructional program in order to improve outcomes for students who have difficulty with math. The guide presents recommendations about screening, instruction, and progress monitoring and indicates the quality of the research base that supports them. It includes common questions and potential concerns that... - 1/3/09 - National Center on Student Progress Monitoring,
Progress monitoring is a scientifically based practice that teachers can use to evaluate the effectiveness of their instruction for individual students or their entire class. Teachers identify goals for what their students will learn over time, measure their students' progress toward meeting these goals by comparing expected and actual rates of learning, and adjust their teaching as needed. The benefits of progress monitoring include accelerated learning for students who receive more... - 1/3/09 - National High School Center,
This issue brief provides guidance to states as they respond to requirements presented in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA 2004) in the area of dropout prevention for students with disabilities. It also highlights the role of State Performance Plans as starting points for states to develop data collection and monitoring procedures, and supplies states with considerations and recommendations for providing a consistent method of tracking dropout data. - 1/5/09 - FPG Child Development Institute,
The Abecedarian project was a carefully controlled scientific study of the potential benefits of early childhood education for poor children. Children from low-income families received full-time, high-quality educational intervention in a childcare setting from infancy through age 5. Each child had an individualized prescription of educational activities. Educational activities consisted of ‘games’ incorporated into the child's day. Activities focused on social, emotional, and... - 1/12/10 - Therriault, S.B., Heppen, J., O’Cummings,M., Fryer, L., and Johnson, A.
This Implementation Guide is designed to build the capacity of school- and district-level practitioners to analyze data from the EWS Tool v2.0. The aim of the guide and the tool is to support school and district efforts to systematically identify students who are showing signs that they are at risk of dropping out of high school, match these students to interventions to get them back on track for graduation, and monitor students’ progress in those interventions. The guide describes an... - 1/24/10 - Gersten, R., , Baker, S.K., Shanahan, T., Linan-Thompson, S., Collins, P. , Scarcella, R.
This practice guide, from the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance, formulates evidence-based recommendations for teaching literacy to English Language Leaners (ELLs) in the elementary grades based on the current body of studies for each area. The authors evaluated the effect sizes of interventions to measure their impact on programs and practices. The recommendations involve areas such as curriculum selection, sensible... - 1/16/09 - Erica Frankenberg, Genevieve Siegel-Hawley
"This paper describes the contours of state legislation relating to charter schools and racial diversity, as well as limited oversight activities to monitor compliance with these policies. We also highlight serious gaps in charter school enrollment data based on an on-going Civil Rights Project analysis of charter school racial, socioeconomic and linguistic segregation. We conclude with recommendations for designing charter school civil rights policy to ensure that the spread of educational... - 1/2/09 - Candice Bocala, Daniel Mello, Kirstin Reedy, Natalie Lacireno-Paquet
"The report documents the results of a search of state education agency web sites in the nine Northeast and Islands Region jurisdictions for publicly available information related to RTI (response to intervention). It finds that seven jurisdictions have developed state documents on RTI that address core features of RTI identified by the National Research Center on Learning Disabilities: high quality classroom instruction, research-based instruction, classroom performance, universal... - 1/23/10 - Kozeski, Elizabeth B., Sullivan, Amanda L., Equity Alliance at ASU
"This final report chronicles the outcomes of the second generation National Institute for Urban School Improvement (NIUSI), Award Number # H326B020002. Built on the previous five years of innovative work from 1997-2002 (a $5 million award), NIUSI’s second round of funding ($3.5 million) produced important results that offer a district-wide blueprint for the design and delivery of least restrictive environments and access to the general education curriculum for students with disabilities... - 1/14/09 - Speece, D.
This 2007 brief studies an RTI model as a method of identifying children for special education services. Two children are discussed, whose profiles illustrate different aspects of the progress monitoring--RTI interface. It was presented by Deborah Speece and released by the National Center on Student Progress Monitoring. - 1/5/09 - Hemmeter, M. L., Ostrosky, M.
Many young children engage in challenging behavior when they do not have the social or communicative skills to express their needs or feelings in appropriate ways. This fact sheet discusses how to prevent and address problem behavior by teaching children social skills they can use in place of problem behavior. - 1/2/09 - Yuri Kashima, Bridget Schleich, Terry Spradlin
Response to Intervention (RTI) is a school-wide, integrative approach to instruction and intervention that provides a continuum of services to all students, both within general and special education (Martinez, Nellis, & Prendergast,2006). Further, RTI focuses on the frequent monitoring of student progress using formative* and summative*1 assessments, and providing students with differentiated and evidence-based classroom instruction. Thus, RTI can be viewed as a framework of service delivery... - National Secondary Transition Technical Asssistance Center,
This data collection tool allows states to record individual student IEP data for Indicator 13. The tool is web based and allows data to be stored in a standard Excel spreadsheet. The tool enables schools, districts, or states to monitor their I-13 passing rates relative to key student features including ethnicity, disability category, district or school, gender, and level of service.
