Word Generation is a free, evidence-based curricular resource that offers a series of high-interest, discussable dilemmas designed to promote students’ academic language and argumentation skills. Each of the 72 brief one-week units is delivered daily via fifteen- to twenty-minute activities in ELA, science, social studies, and math classes, and five target academic vocabulary words are incorporated into each of those activities. Students read, discuss, debate, and write about each weekly topic, using the newly taught vocabulary words across the content areas.
Target Audience: MTSS teams who are interested in securing advanced training and technical assistance, as it relates to the use of RTI for SLD Determination and next steps within the Bureau of Special Education’s (BSE) RTI/SLD approval process.
The determination that a child has a specific learning disability (SLD) and is in need of special education is considered a high stakes decision that requires contextualized problem-solving and fidelity of implementation of both systemic and individualized guidelines, practices, and processes.
As the number of schools who pursue approval to use RTI for SLD Determination in Pennsylvania grows, there is a continuous need to balance IDEA mandates with evolving research and policy on what constitutes meaningful Response to Intervention (RTI) and/or growth.
