Case Scenario: Hannah is a third-grade student who transfer Review the following case scenario and complete the tasks that follow:

Case Scenario: Hannah is a third-grade student who transferred to Cartwright Elementary School late in the fall. Her teacher, Mrs. Pei, noticed that she seemed to struggle with many independent reading assignments. When Mrs. Pei administered the mid-year universal screening measure, she was not surprised to see that Hannah’s score was below the grade-level benchmark. Consequently, Mrs. Pei began monitoring her reading performance once per week for seven weeks using a measure of reading fluency. The rate of growth Hannah was expected to achieve by the end of seven weeks was 1.2. Hannah’s scores are in the graph and table.

See attached.

1. Review journal articles on response-to-intervention activities, including: data-based decision making, determining performance level, and making tier placement decisions.
2. Using the 7 weeks of progress monitoring data outlined above, calculate Hannah’s rate of growth.
3. Determine whether Hannah is responding adequately to instruction. Elaborate.
4. Based on your evaluation, what tier placement would you recommend for Hannah?

http://www.learner.org/workshops/readingk2/session5/index.html

In the video, Teaching Writing as a Process a group of workshop participants discusses the kindergarten classroom excerpts that are shown. After watching the workshop participants' discussion, write a one-page response (250 words) to each question.

1. Several workshop participants commented on John Sinnett's modeling of the writing process. Some believed he could have made his writing more visible to the students, while others believed he was modeling the process, not the product. What do you think? How did you perceive his purpose for this lesson?
2. Participants discussed the various teaching strategies demonstrated for supporting students in their planning. In what ways have you assisted children as they prepare to write? How do you decide how much support children will need?
3. What might you do differently after watching these classroom excerpts?
