Response to Intervention (RtI) in a High School: A Case Study of ImplementationSkelding-Dills, Kathleen Ann 09 August 2013 (has links)
Response to Intervention's (RtI) original design was implemented as a kindergarten through third grade intervention for struggling readers. Therefore, it is difficult to conceptualize RtI as an intervention model to be used for high school students. Nevertheless, high schools have adopted RtI as an intervention model.
The purpose of the study was to investigate and describe how one high school implemented RtI. The researcher utilized qualitative research methods to conduct the study. The two overarching research questions for the study were: Were the essential components of Response to Intervention implemented in this high school? Was the Response to Intervention framework implemented with fidelity?
Research-based practices found in the literature that have influenced the implementation of RtI were (a) a structured focus on prevention for academic failures, (b) the use of the suggested RtI model consistently and with fidelity, and (c) a strong consideration for adoption of the suggested framework using the essential components of RtI (RtI Action Network, 2013). The essential components of RtI found in the literature were universal screening, data collection, progress monitoring, a problem solving team, data-based decision making, and evidence-based interventions. The study attempted to determine if the high school implemented the essential components of RtI with fidelity, defined as "implemented RtI as it was intended by the program developers" (Mellard & Johnson, 2008, p. 240).
The study found that not all essential components of RtI were implemented with fidelity in the high school. All participants interviewed stated that the screening tools that were being utilized were not screening tools that were described in the literature. Participants identified the use of data collection and progress monitoring, but did not express a consistency in the practices. Because these two components were not implemented consistently, participants noted that the three-tiered system lacked evidence-based practices and interventions. Based on the participants' responses, the researcher concluded that the high school's implementation of RtI lacked fidelity. Through review of CHD High School's historical records, it appeared that the implementation of RtI only provided a minimal amount of improvement in students' academic grades, dropout rate, and standard assessments scores. Implications and recommendations for practice and future research are offered in Chapter 5. / Ed. D.

Welfare-to-work transition in the TANF era: evidence from MississippiZeng, Xuhui 30 April 2011 (has links)
This study examines welfare dynamics in Mississippi under the newly created TANF program. Specifically, it examines welfare-to-work transition between 2001 and 2009 and tests several hypotheses regarding individual and contextual characteristics. The data come from multiple sources that include administrative records and publicly available data. Data on TANF transitions come from the Mississippi Department of Human Services. Data on TANF employment come from the Mississippi Department of Employment Security. Data on training come from the Mississippi workforce investment system. Information on both neighborhood and labor market characteristics come from the 2000 Census. The findings clearly support the hypothesis that individual and contextual conditions influence the ability of a poor single mother to exit TANF and gain employment. On the other hand, there is weak evidence supporting the hypothesis of welfare dependence when controlling for unobserved characteristics for multiple spells within individuals. The main implication here is that TANF might have indeed addressed the longstanding concern about welfare dependency. The results, however, show that individual and contextual factors still play a role in determining welfare dynamics across poor single mothers with different individual and contextual backgrounds.
