Problem Solving and RTI: Role for School Psych

CQ 34-5 - Problem Solving and RTI
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:

Change is constant...........we better "roll with it", baby.

 

To meet this challenge, school psychologists will need to be:

Open to change—change in how students are identified for intervention; how interventions are selected, designed, and implemented; how student performance is measured and evaluated; how evaluations are conducted; and how decisions are made.Open to training—training (as needed) in evidence-based intervention strategies, in progress monitoring methods, in designing problem-solving models, in evaluating instructional and program outcomes, in ecological assessment procedures.Willing to adapt a more individualized approach to serving students while also adapting a more systemic approach to serving schools.Willing and able to communicate their worth to administrators and policymakers—to “sell” new roles consistent with the provisions of IDEA 2004.

NASP CQ 35-4 - Behavior Support and Response to Intervention

Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:

An RTI approach to service delivery and staff development can ensure that the personnel involved in problem-solving processes are the closest to the problem and that other personnel are only brought in, as less personnel-intensive interventions have been demonstrated to be ineffective, that is, the student’s presenting problem did not respond to the early-stage intervention.


This approach is good for kids.  Good for staff.
