Reference no: EM132158301

Each student will select a topic relevant to School Social Work practice for an issue impacting students in grades PreK-12 (behavior excesses: talking out, bullying, aggression, etc, behavior deficits: lack of social skills, academic deficits, etc, academic needs).

The student will examine the topic using critical thinking skills and consider all aspects of the issue.

After conducting a comprehensive literature review the student will defend, through their writing, an effective evidence-based intervention for the identified problem.

After completing the rational for using the identified intervention for the identified area of need, the student will complete a fictitious graphic display of data showing how the intervention would be monitored through an RtI model.

The student will also attempt to identify from the data collected what tier the student would fall in prior to and after the intervention.

An RtI model is a system of monitoring student academic success through the use of single subject assessment (collect student information in baseline (without intervention), identify an intervention to use, implement the intervention and continue data collection- graphing data while in the intervention, if success is not noted in the intervention then the intervention is changed/modified, and data collection is continued until success is noted).

The RtI model is now being utilized for behavioral needs of student's not just academic needs. The new School Social Work standards include RtI for social-behavioral needs of students.

Paper must be typed and double-spaced. APA formatting is required. Not to exceed 8 pages (12-point font). This does not include Bibliography or sample intervention hand-outs.

Part 1: The Position Paper will include the following:

In-depth description of the topic and a summary defining the issue (literature review)

Description of current and relevant research on the topic

Description of how the issue impacts education (specify effects on individuals or groups)

Identify what tier the student falls in before and after the intervention

Select an evidence-based intervention for the issue or topic (citations)

Describe how you would determine if intervention is working and how you would gather needed data on targeted issue (evaluation)

Part II: RtI Graph/ Evidence-Based Intervention (graphic display of data)

Each student will provide a graph that shows how the identified evidence-based intervention would be monitored and evaluated to ensure successful outcomes for the student.

The graph can display fictitious data about the target client showing how the RtI process would be utilized in monitoring academic/behavioral success of that student. Also remember that you want to see if your intervention is working by viewing the graphic display.

Your graph should include a baseline, an intervention, a second intervention if the first intervention was unsuccessful, all axis should be labeled appropriately, and there should be a title on your graph. An article that explains how to use excel to format a graph and appropriately label all parts of the graph can be found on eCourseware.
