Week 4
Hey here is my week 4 update - I have had to change my project, so now I will be researching how to implement on my campus, behavioral tiers for RTI. There is not much research on behavioral RTI tiers, so I am open to any and all suggestions. If you know of any good research out there, please let me know. My campus is an elementary campus and we house the district behavioral unit along with our regular education classes. Many times these students are mainstreamed into the regular ed classrooms to work along gen ed students. I am hoping to come up with a set of protocols so that my reg. ed teachers know what to do when faced with the challenges of having these students in their classrooms. We do not have a clear district vision as of yet for what RTI looks like in regards to behavioral issues. So, that is the new plan. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

Week 3
Dear Friends,
I am sorry that this is late, but I had a family emergency. I am behind in my postings and I am trying to catch up. - Rachael
Here is my action research plan.
I have changed the topic of my action research after much thought. I am now planning on studying the effects of group size on small group RTI instruction in reading for K-3 grade students. Will a group of three or less be more or less effective than a group of four to six students? That is my question. I am also interested to see which groups are more effective (push-in groups, where the reading instructional specialist or assistant goes in to the classroom for instruction or pull-out groups, where students leave the classroom to have their RTI reading instruction). However, my main focus will be on the size of the groups. I am planning on using TPRI, benchmark assessments, and progress monitoring to help me gather the data needed for my project. This project will last all year and I hope to be able to tell by the end of this school year, which type of grouping is better (at least for my particular campus).
