ompose a 4- to 6-page paper that includes the following three sections:
Section I: Integration of RtI in a Multi-tiered System of Support (MTSS)
- Provide a brief history of the status of RtI in your state. (Flexibility in terminology is allowed for those outside the United States.)
- Explain how RtI is integrated in an MTSS. What are the challenges of integrating RtI with an MTSS? Note: If RtI is being practiced in your local district/school, you may respond to this prompt from a local perspective.
Section II: Integration of PBIS in a Multi-tiered System of Support (MTSS)
- Provide a brief history of the status of PBIS in your state.
- Explain how PBIS is integrated in an MTSS. What are the challenges of integrating PBIS with an MTSS? Note: If PBIS is being used in your local district/school, you may respond to this prompt from a local perspective.
Section III: Relationship Between School-Wide Intervention Models and Multi-tiered Systems of Support
For this section, you will evaluate three school-wide intervention models: RtI, PBIS, and one other that you have researched.
- Provide a summary of each model. Include the following in your summary:
- Key ideas behind the model
- Best practices associated with the model
- Benefits and limitations
- Evaluate whether each school-wide intervention model exemplifies best practices of an MTSS. Support your evaluation with specific references to the Learning Resources and outside resources.
For this Assignment and all others in this course and throughout the program, you will be expected to use APA style (7th ed.).
To prepare
- Review the module Learning Resources. Consider how PBIS and RtI are integrated into an MTSS.
- Conduct a search to locate at least three additional peer-reviewed resources on school-wide intervention models.
- Conduct research on the integration of special education within an MTSS. Identify any gaps you find in the research.
- Identify a school-wide intervention issue or challenge in your local district/school of interest to you, other than RtI or PBIS.
