Part 2: Reflection

The process of reviewing data and preparing for an RTI meeting is a collaborative effort that necessitates careful analysis, strategic decision-making, and clear communication.

Technology plays a crucial role in streamlining this process. Secure platforms like Google Classroom or Edmodo can be used to share progress monitoring data and intervention materials with parents and teachers. These platforms also allow for personalized communication with individual students, promoting their ownership of learning.

When creating intervention recommendations, it is essential to consider each child’s individual learning needs. The data provides valuable insights into their strengths and areas for improvement. By tailoring interventions and individual goals to the specific needs of each student, we can ensure that the support provided is effective and impactful.

Collaboration with the RTI team is essential for a holistic approach to student support. By sharing data, discussing insights, and collectively making decisions, we can create a cohesive plan for each student’s success.
