sigserve: New IRIS Module: Pre-Referral Process: Procedures for Supporting Students with Academic and Behavioral Concerns

2009-01-12 Thread IRIS Center for Faculty Enhancement

Dear IRIS Family,

The IRIS Center is pleased to present our latest module posting: The 
Pre-Referral Process: Procedures for Supporting Students with Academic and 
Behavioral Concerns. This module is a revision of one part of See Jane Read: 
Teaching Reading to Young Children of Varying Disabilities and The Reading 
Blues: Strategies to Help Upper-Elementary Students Move from Struggle to 
Success. Neither of those earlier modules is now available.

The Pre-Referral Process: Procedures for Supporting Students with Academic and 
Behavioral Concerns describes the six stages of the pre-referral process. 
Schools not currently implementing the response to intervention approach (RTI) 
for identification of students with learning disabilities might find this 
information beneficial. Additionally, schools can use this process to identify 
students with other disabilities.

Deborah Delatorre is new to Macy Middle School and new to teaching fifth 
graders. For the last twenty years, she taught fourth graders at a private 
elementary school, and this will be her first year teaching at a public school. 
Her last school had a system for supporting students with and without 
disabilities, but it was not a formal process. She wonders what she needs to 
know about pre-referral, and she recognizes that she has a lot to learn in her 
new job. To view The Pre-Referral Process: Procedures for Supporting Students 
with Academic and Behavioral Concerns, please go to
