The information on the RTI model and the research provided is excellent. I was looking for more information regarding pre-assessment measures. I agree that using the RTI model is the best first steps, not sure how to implement that in my school district especially if we do not have 2nd language learners with similar backgrounds to use as a comparison. We have a very diverse population.

This course was a continuation of Part 1. I currently work in an educational environment with children from many different cultures. This information was vital. I learned a depth of knowledge which will enable me to look at numerous factors rather than labeling a child with a speech impairment. I will definitely share this information with my peers.

Our schools have lots of EL learners in them & the tendency is to test them, but this article explained very logically the ideal way to should work. The ideas for helpers that are not designated special ed, but assist the student in small groups to help the teacher is a great idea & I tho m would hp convince the teacher to put more effort I to RTi.

It is so important to allow these children an opportunity to demonstrate their strengths and/or weaknesses. Many of times with children who come from worlds where English is not their native language, it's not only the learning of a new language that impacts their education. RTI permits evaluating the "whole" child and observing what they can do with the needed need interventions.

I think that it is easy to confuse the difference between a language impairment and a true language developmental delay. In the state that I am in, we serve children under the category of developmental delay.

Dr. R-M discussed the use of RtI as a way to decide if an EL should be referred for assessment by the Sp. Ed. team. She presented it in a positive light, and made the case for this wasteful process. I am glad that Dr. Kummer commented that teachers would probably not enjoy it. As an SLP, I don't either! We lose precious developmental time when spending>half the school year on RtI. A competent SLP can use the procedures Dr. R-M described in part 1 of this series to make the determination.

What made this course great was the detail info on RTL. It is imperative for clinicians to use this multitiered system to truly differentiate between language impairment and language difference. The 5-6 month period is well worth it it can bring the EL to a comparable academic level like their peers.

I work in a school with a large EL population and am always looking for additional resources on how to better differentiate language difference/needed exposure time from a true language impairment.

I like how this article talked about how the RTI process can be so beneficial for differentiating language learners from students with true LI. I already have a good understanding of using RTI, but hadn't thought about it in this context before. This will be very helpful for my new job working in a school with a high percentage of students who speak 2 or more languages.

Sharing hands-on experiences, real life examples and references to research based literature. Focus/mentions immigrant families. Celeste is not only an excellent researcher, but she continues to work in the school system and serves in districts with very high needs- what she shares is always on the point, very applicable and very hands on. Her research and recommendations are always "real life" and not removed from the reality of real school every day experiences.

Using the RTI model is very helpful in determining if an EL student has a Language Impairment. It is vital that the process of the tiered model is being implemented. Gathering data from the tiered intervention is helpful in determining a possible language impairment. The information gathered in this workshop was easy to read and follow. A lot of the questions that I had, were answered in this workshop.
