Q1
You will create this assignment following the Assignment Detail instructions below.
Review the tutorial How to Submit an Individual Project .
Globally, populations are growing, people are living longer, and the number of the elderly in every society is growing annually. In the United States, the older population is not only growing but highly heterogeneous and complex. Structural, economic, and health inequalities affect healthy aging differently for different groups in society. Government, policymakers, and planners are addressing these issues to plan effectively for the aging population. Understanding factors contributing to structural, socio-economic, and health inequalities in the United States is essential for gerontology counselors.
Assignment Details
Prepare an 8-slide PowerPoint presentation for your supervisor and colleagues that includes the following:
· Explain sources of structural, economic, and health inequalities among older people in the United States.
· Discuss how health care professionals empower and promote quality of life for the aging.
· Identify groups in the United States who are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of aging and explain why they are.

Clinical Field Experience A: Understanding Pre-Referral Assessments - The Classroom Teacher and Response to Intervention (RTI). (Assignment 1)
RTI is a systematic pre-referral assessment process employed by school staff to ensure universal, targeted, and intensive individualized interventions are implemented prior to initiating the formal special education referral process. RTI requires collaboration with colleagues to select and develop RTI interventions and assessments to be administered to students. Teachers should have knowledge and skills in recording and interpreting RTI assessment data. They should also be adept at developing informal assessments to support the RTI process to guide day-to-day planning and teaching in the classroom.
Allocate at least 2 hours in the field to support this field experience.
Part 1: Pre-Referral Assessments Nothing needs to be submitted for this part
Observe and collaborate with a certified special education teacher in a K-5 grade setting about pre-referral assessments and his or her role in the RTI process.
Your conversation should address the following prompts:
1. The criteria and distinguishing factors of RTI Tier 1, RTI Tier 2, and RTI Tier 3
2. Examples of and how RTI Tier 1, RTI Tier 2, and RTI Tier 3 interventions and assessments are developed and administered to students
3. How the classroom teacher records and interprets information from the RTIs
4. How the RTI information is used in making eligibility, program and placement decisions for individuals with disabilities
5. Strategies in communicating RTI results to various stakeholders
Part 2: Collaboration
Collaborate with the K-5 certified special education teacher to develop an informal assessment that could be used to gauge student academic progress at RTI Tier 1 for reading, math, or another core content area. Your informal assessment can include, but not limited to, quizzes, exit tickets, or work samples. This informal assessment will be administered to a student in the field experience classroom for the Clinical Field Experience B.
Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.
In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect on your observations and collaboration explaining how you will use your findings in your future professional practice. Additionally, describe the informal assessment that was developed, including the content and purpose of the assessment for addressing RTI Tier 1 factors.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Diagnostic Case Scenario (assignment 2)
with this assignment I attatched the MET case study
Each student who participates in the eligibility process for special education services is unique. The Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MET) has the responsibility of selecting the appropriate formal and informal assessments that best measure identified student strengths and needs. Teachers must possess the knowledge of the characteristics of informal and formal assessments to fully participate as an active member of the MET and subsequently guide educational decision-making.
Review the “Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MET) Case Study.”
Based on your “Diagnostic Assessments Graphic Organizer” assignment from Topic 1, determine which types of assessments should be administered. Identify a minimum of three assessments and justify your decision in a 500-750 word response. Explain how the validity and reliability of each assessment supports your decision and how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
Support your findings with 2-3 scholarly resources.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
