Considerable research in the past 30 years has accumulated
regarding the academic and social functioning of youngsters with
disabilities. Only in the past decade has there been sufficient
special education research published from which meta-analyses and
syntheses can be conducted. In this volume, seven sets of authors
grapple with synthesizing the knowledge base on an array of
critical topics in the field of special education.
Among others, specific chapters include:
* a synthesis of what is known about effective instructional
grouping practices for reading.
* an examination of the differences between students classified as
learning disabled and other low-achieving students on a range of
academic performance measures.
* a review of effective instruction for English-language
learners.
* an examination of the research on behavioral supports for
low-incidence special education populations.
* a synthesis on how technology supports literary development,
across the full spectrum of disabilities categories.
These papers provide up-to-date, informative summaries of current
knowledge and a base from which further venture into the critical
area of instructional intervention in special education can
occur.

What do we know about RTI in math, why does it work, and how should
K-12 teachers use it to ensure high-quality instruction and better
outcomes? Find out in this definitive research-based text from more
than 25 of today's top experts. Response to intervention - it's
already improving reading outcomes in classrooms across the
country, and this approach can be equally effective for K-12
mathematics instruction. This is the definitive volume on RTI in
math: what we know about it, why it works, and how to use it to
ensure high-quality math instruction and higher student
achievement. Edited by National Math Panel veteran Russell Gersten
with contributions by all of the country's leading researchers on
RTI and math, this cutting-edge text blends the existing evidence
base with practical guidelines for RTI implementation. Current and
future RTI coordinators, curriculum developers, math specialists,
and department heads will get the best, most up-to-date guidance on
key facets of RTI in math: * conducting valid and reliable
universal screening in mathematics * using evidence-based practices
to provide a strong general education curriculum for effective Tier
1 instruction ** implementing explicit, research-based teaching
practices for students who need Tier 2 and 3 instruction **
monitoring students' progress with high-quality tools and measures
** motivating and engaging struggling students receiving Tier 2 and
3 instruction ** teaching students to use an array of visual
representations to help them solve math problems ** tailoring RTI
for every grade level, from kindergarten through high school **
using RTI to target specific mathematical proficiencies and
concepts, such as number sense, word problems, algebra, and ratios
and proportionsFilled with vignettes, accessible summaries of the
most recent studies, and best-practice guidelines for making the
most of RTI, this comprehensive research volume is ideal for use as
a textbook or as a key resource to guide decision makers. Readers
will have the knowledge base they need to strengthen mathematics
instruction with proven RTI practices - and help ensure better math
outcomes for students at every grade level.
Featuring today's most respected leaders in the field of reading
interventions, this book examines what we have learned from the
research to help struggling readers in grades K - 6. Focusing on
strategies that have been proven effective, the authors will help
educators meet the demands placed on them to ensure that all
students are making good progress toward becoming competent
readers. Each chapter begins with a set of framing questions and
ends with suggestions for action to foster discussion and help
teachers translate research-based ideas into practice - perfect for
teacher education courses and professional development
workshops.This timely volume includes: an analysis of what is
needed to help all students succeed in reading, especially
struggling readers, students with special needs, and ELL students;
practices to foster young students' success in learning to decode;
instructional strategies to improve students' vocabulary and
comprehension; and, school-wide practices to improve all students'
reading in high-poverty, diverse schools.
