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

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.

Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MET) Case Study

Student: Scott

Grade: 1st

Age: 6

Background Information

· Very small for his age, constantly in motion.

· Usually looks very serious. When he is unhappy with something, he will scowl and make a high-pitched and long-lasting shriek; this happens 8-10 times every hour.

· Asks many questions, such as “Why?” “Where did that come from?” “What does this mean?”

· When engaged in something in which he has an interest, he becomes lively and animated and asks relevant questions as he is trying to figure out what is happening (lasts up to 7 minutes at a time).

· Enjoys trains and collecting coins; likes to build things with Legos or Lincoln Logs.

· Knows everything about local public buildings (city hall, library, schools) - number of windows and doors, when built, building materials, number of bricks each contains.

· Developed very particular likes and dislikes with food, e.g., he will only eat white or light colored foods, and nothing can be mixed together; he refuses to eat meat and many vegetables and fruits.

· Behavior problems surfaced about 15 months ago - easily frustrated, which resulted in throwing things, hitting, kicking, biting, and disrespect shown to parents, especially his mother.

· Mother has used timeout chair – can take from 5 minutes to 2 hours for him to regain control.

· Parents report that they do not take him out into the community, e.g., grocery store because of behavior. One parent stays home with Scott while the other goes out to do errands.

· Scott is extremely active. He stopped taking naps at the age of about 2½ and he cannot fall asleep until three or four hours after he is put to bed. He spends the time looking at books and playing with the toys in his room. As long as he stays in his room and is quiet, his parents leave a dim light on.

· Lives with his parents and older sister. The family goes on recreational outings together, including summer camping trips and weekend trips to visit family in another area of Wisconsin.

· Scott’s parents describe Scott as “interesting.” They have worked through many issues with their daughter (medical diagnosis of ADHD and bipolar disorder, she is not in special education) and feel that Scott will develop appropriate behaviors as time goes by.

· Defiance is an issue – incidents 10-15 times per day of yelling, stomping his feet, throwing things if he does not get his way.

· Scott will wander away from the yard – has gone up to six blocks away, crossing busy streets. This happens 3-4 times per month.

School History

· Mother requested district screening when Scott turned 3 years old because he refused to follow rules, and would throw a tantrum when he could not get his way. Scott also showed a lack of interest in activities like coloring or drawing with markers or crayons, cutting paper, and repeating nursery rhymes. He would refuse to do these activities.

· Parents did not want to consider district early childhood programming and enrolled him at a structured preschool at age 4. His day was subsequently shortened to 2 hours and his parents had to pick him up early 1-3 times per week because of behavior (yelling, screaming, and refusing to follow directions; would not participate in any activities that involved drawing, coloring, or writing).

· Community summer programs were tried, but he was asked to leave because of behavior (ran out of the room, yelled, screamed, threw things).

· During the summer before he started kindergarten, his parents did not enroll him in summer school. They planned many family activities, but Scott was not in any kind of a structured program. They report that the number of tantrums decreased to 1-2 per day. However, the tantrums were more severe with longer recovery time.

· Placed in a blended kindergarten (5 special education and 11 regular education students with general kindergarten and special education teacher team)

Concerns/Reasons for Referral

· Aggressive and disruptive behavior. Displays tantrums, which include kicking and hitting staff, screaming and throwing himself on the floor. Scott will also throw books and chairs at staff and other students. These behaviors occur 4-6 times daily within a two-hour period.

· Unwillingness to follow directions for social or play activities. Scott says, “No,” or “I won’t." He often refuses to speak and sits with arms crossed and head down when not wanting to follow adult directives. He will also run and hide under a table.

· Refuses to do any activities involving scissors, paper, pencil, crayons, or markers.

· Isolates self in a corner or under a table during structured and unstructured activities.
