RTI (Response-To-Intervention)
• We have a full RTI model to help us “find or identify” students who may have disabilities or need other services.
• It is our obligation to identify those students. • When in doubt, fill it out!• Initially we would like to contact parents of an initial
referral to the RTI Team to get their input.• Tier 1 starts in the classroom. Creating opportunities
to help struggling students be more successful.

Accommodation vs. Modification
What is the difference?
![Page 7: Student Services + Tips for school and home John Larson, M.Ed. Director of Student Support Services Nova Classical Academy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c02b1a28abf838cd8b90/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Accommodations
Instructional or assessment adaptations. They allow a student to demonstrate what they know without fundamentally changing the target skills.
• Let me give you an example. A student with a learning disability in reading may have difficulty reading the content and/or the questions on a history test. Therefore, he may not be able to demonstrate what he knows through reading, so a teacher or a test administrator may read the test aloud to him.

Modifications
Modifications actually do change that target skill or the construct of interest. They often reduce learning expectations or affect the content in such a way that what is being taught or tested is fundamentally changed.

Make Your Student Aware of their needs
• Depends on age.• Accommodations/Modifications available• Who to talk to when they have trouble?• What services do I have available to me?• Involve them in their IEP goals and progress
![Page 12: Student Services + Tips for school and home John Larson, M.Ed. Director of Student Support Services Nova Classical Academy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c02b1a28abf838cd8b90/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Set Up A Homework Schedule
• This is a personal choice.• Once time is determined, the schedule should
be adhered as close as possible.• Research says it takes 21 days to form a habit.• Majority will lose focus of schedule a before
Halloween.

Rank Order Assignments
• Many students spend a good chunk of their homework time deciding what to do..
• Parents help prioritize and gradually pass on to the students (depending on age).
![Page 14: Student Services + Tips for school and home John Larson, M.Ed. Director of Student Support Services Nova Classical Academy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c02b1a28abf838cd8b90/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Do Not(Always) Sit Next To Your Child
• This creates “learned helplessness.”• This same assistance may not be consistent to
what is available to them in the classroom.• Act as a resource person for the student.• Students should always return to their
individual work area.
![Page 15: Student Services + Tips for school and home John Larson, M.Ed. Director of Student Support Services Nova Classical Academy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c02b1a28abf838cd8b90/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Check the Correct Problems First
• Mention something they did well first to help build confidence.
• Provide constructive support on problems that are incorrect.
![Page 16: Student Services + Tips for school and home John Larson, M.Ed. Director of Student Support Services Nova Classical Academy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c02b1a28abf838cd8b90/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
NEVER LET HOMEWORK DRAG ON!
• The only thing accomplished by allowing a child to continue to struggle hour after hour is an increased feeling of inadequacy.
• Contact the teacher, special education teacher. (Have student initiate contact depending on age).
![Page 17: Student Services + Tips for school and home John Larson, M.Ed. Director of Student Support Services Nova Classical Academy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c02b1a28abf838cd8b90/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Discuss Questions Before Beginning
• Discuss ahead of time so the students know what they are looking for when reading.
• Verbal processing can help with comprehension and building of knowledge
![Page 18: Student Services + Tips for school and home John Larson, M.Ed. Director of Student Support Services Nova Classical Academy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c02b1a28abf838cd8b90/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Check Small Groups of Problems
• Have your student complete 3-5 problems and then they can check with you.
• This prevents a child from doing an entire assignment incorrectly.
![Page 19: Student Services + Tips for school and home John Larson, M.Ed. Director of Student Support Services Nova Classical Academy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c02b1a28abf838cd8b90/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Be Aware of Negative Messages
• Many examples of body language, tension, raised eyebrows, inattentiveness, verbal frustrations can lead to increased struggles for your student.

AVOID Finishing Assignments for Your Child
• This is not doing the student any favors.• Sometimes it may feel like a better solution for
you and your child. (Band Aid)• Communicate with the teachers about any
specific issues.• See Slide #6

Be Aware of Possible Learning Problems
• Look for patterns• Contact Teacher, RTI Team, Principal or
Director of Student Services
Examples: Constant avoidance, forgetting to bring home assignments, taking long hours to complete, procrastination, low frustration tolerance, labored writing, poor spelling, etc.
