Comtempory Issues In Special Education ELSE 6013 Contemporary Issues in SPED Week 2 Assignment Directions Chapter 3 of our text discusses Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS), IDEA, and 504 and the general education program. Part 1: Invitation for Learning Visit a local school and see how the Response to Intervention procedure is organized. Conduct interviews with the site administrator and a service provider (e.g., teacher) to find out the types of interventions used, the duration of the interventions, and the process that follows once the interventions have been in place for a reasonable period of time. Find out their plan of action for non-responders. This is very INFORMAL; interviews may even be conducted online or over the phone, just so long as you get a clear indication of how PBIS is utilized and more than enough information to complete Part 2. You may want to ask the questions below during the interview/class visits. A summary of this experience is required in Part 2. Classroom Students are not necessary to complete this assignment Part 2: Think and Apply You will write a 2.5 – 3 page paper on your experiences from part one, chapter readings, and professional /personal engagement. Guidelines First, provide an overview defining and summarizing the rationale for using Response to Intervention. In this overview address the following: (1) critical components essential for PBIS; (2) an explanation of different tiers of intervention and; (3) detailed summary of Part One classroom visit or interview; please include name/address of school, name of professionals interviewed and/or questioned.
