Designed as a blueprint for improving abilities to provide research-based curriculum and evidence-based interventions to all K-12 learners, Response to Intervention Models: Curricular Implications and Interventions will empower educators to select, implement, differentiate and evaluate the curricula and interventions necessary to meet the needs of all learners. This book provides educators, who already have some understanding of the basics of Response to Intervention (RTI) with value-added content and tools to successfully deliver highly productive and results-driven curriculum for all learners. The nine chapters in this book are designed to collectively produce the following six primary outcomes: 1.) Describe the critical role of curriculum implementation in RTI models 2). Deliver research-based curriculum and evidence-based interventions with fidelity 3). Lead or contribute to RTI curriculum implementation decision-making teams 4). Apply learner progress data to make necessary curriculum adjustments 5). Apply five key components of curriculum in teaching and learning and 6). Describe connections between response to intervention and special education decisions. The textbook is also divided into three interrelated sections: Section I discusses the foundation for implementing multi-tiered RTI curriculum in today's classrooms; Section II provides models for making effective RTI team decisions through collaboration among educators to best initiate curricular adjustments, differentiations and select the most appropriate tier of instruction; and Section III emphasizes the critical role differentiated instruction assumes within multi-tiered instruction, along with the significance of study skills, learning strategies and culturally responsive teaching to meet the RTI curricular needs of all learners. Readers are encouraged to reproduce all tools provided in the book as these are intended for direct use in the classroom and school environment to implement curriculum within RTI models. Once the school-wide framework of response to intervention is developed and initiated, practitioners must implement RTI on a daily basis in their classrooms. Response to Intervention Models: Curricular Implications and Interventions will equip pre-service and practicing teachers with the tools they need to successfully deliver high-quality core instruction to all students, with a strong knowledge of RTI and the expertise about curriculum under their belt.

Handbook of Interventions that Work with Children and Adolescents, considers evidence-based practice to assess the developmental issues, aetiology, epidemiology, assessment, treatment, and prevention of child and adolescent psychopathology. World-leading contributors provide overviews of empirically validated intervention and prevention initiatives. Arranged in three parts, Part I lays theoretical foundations of “treatments that work” with children and adolescents. Part II presents the evidence base for the treatment of a host of behaviour problems, whilst Part III contains exciting prevention programs that attempt to intervene with several child and adolescent problems before they become disorders. This Handbook presents encouraging evidence that we can intervene successfully at the psychosocial level with children and adolescents who already have major psychiatric disorders and, as importantly, that we can even prevent some of these disorders from occurring in the first place.

"In this book, structured literacy is conceptualized as an umbrella term encompassing a variety of intervention methods, instructional approaches, and commercial programs. In addition to focusing on SL approaches to intervention, this book is organized around common poor reader profiles that have been identified in research. The chapters in this volume are written by experts who are well known as researchers but who are also highly skilled at writing for practitioners. Chapters were written with a strong foundation of research that is summarized, but with a concentration on translating research into practice, including case studies, sample intervention activities, and lesson plans. Each chapter includes application activities at the end to check for and extend readers' understanding"--

This text is for regular classroom teachers who work with special needs learners in their classrooms, and the specialists and administrators who support these populations. Students of poverty, English language learners, and the twice-exceptional are often overlooked for services in gifted programs and frequently miss out on opportunities to hone their skills and learn the culture of success.

This book focuses on both the social-emotional and cognitive needs of these students, and provides templates for long-term planning and goal setting. The text also addresses challenges encountered in working with these students and effective strategies to overcome them.
