Allocate at least 7 hours in the field to complete this assignment.
Observe an early childhood classroom that includes children with exceptionalities, paying attention to Response to Intervention (RTI) or Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) preparation and procedures. Many times RTI in early childhood is done outside of the classroom environment, so observing an inclusive or resource room is acceptable. Additionally, interview the early childhood classroom teacher about his or her RTI or MTSS preparation and procedures.
Your interview should address the following questions:
· Who are the key stakeholders in a RTI or MTSS meeting? What is the role of each individual?
· How do you document assessment results and other data specific to RTI or MTSS? What does your data collection process entail?
· How is your RTI or MTSS system organized?
· How are the assessment results and other data used to develop behavioral and academic interventions? How do you identify and select the interventions? How do you provide support to teachers?
· What are the legal implications of the RTI or MTSS process?
· How can data collection be used to form a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) for a student who is having behavior issues?
· What collaborative communities have been provided at the site and also to help support the families?
In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect upon your interview and explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
With any remaining hours, spend time observing different classrooms with the focus on RTI and interventions.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

To accomplish this task, set aside at least 7 hours in the field.
Examine the preparation and processes for Response to Intervention (RTI) or Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) in an early childhood classroom with children with special needs. Because RTI in early childhood is frequently done outside of the classroom, it is appropriate to observe an inclusive or resource room. Inquire further about the early childhood classroom teacher’s RTI or MTSS preparation and processes.
The following questions should be addressed during your interview:
In an RTI or MTSS meeting, who are the major stakeholders? What part does each person play?
How do you keep track of assessment results and other RTI or MTSS-related data? What does your data collection process entail?
