RTI model differs from the discrepancy model of identifying a learning disability.
In the video "If an Elementary School is already implementing RTI in academic subjects, what is the best way for them to begin to incorporate behavior interventions?" Joe Wehby explained behavior intervention. He explained the different steps that should be taken when students are not responding to one tier. He mentioned checking the progress for some students behavior while moving to more in-depth steps for students who are non-responsive. RTI seems to focus on data, research, tier model, early invention. I notice in the video Joe talked about what disciplinary the school had in place before interaction with students behavior.
With the discrepancy model, it seems to focus on the disability over data collection and research. Also, failure has to be present for any actions to take place. This is a traditional approach while RTI is a modern approach. Standard testing is a good example because you can see if students fail before stepping in.
What are the strengths and needs of both models?
The discrepancy is easy to use and understand. Testing measures students levels by comparing their results to their peers. Dispcrancy model also can be good because it looks at how a whole population is being affected instead of one individual. RTI engages students, educators, mentors, and parents, have a more in-depth data collection process, do not wait to fail, focus on student instead of the problem itself.
What challenges exist in implementing the RTI model in schools?
RTI cannot tell if there is a disability or if the student is going through something else. There can also be a mix up which means students with a learning disability might go unnoticed while the student without it are believed to have a form of learning disability. Can require extra times from the educators and might not be used well.
