...Response- To-Intervention (RTI) was the second of five components that was added to the amendment of IDEA of 2004. The RTI approach was designed to prevent student failure by providing high quality instruction and student performance monitoring. The approach will allow students to receive instruction in the classroom, receive assistance early, provide research based interventions, and identify students that require special education services early. RTI could also lower the number of students that are inaccurately identified as students that require special education services. The RTI system is a multi-level plan that focuses on increasing instruction to separate students that are progressing through planned interventions. All students are screened through a universal screening process. Tier one separate students based on class or school wide intervention strategies. Tier two incorporates more targeted intervention strategies which may include additional instruction or replacement instruction outside the classroom. Students that reach tier three receive more individualized instruction that is more intense; however, students may receive recommendations for testing to receive special education services. RTI ensures that the needs of all students are being met and each student receives individualized...

...The plan will provide an intervention that uses texts and key vocabulary aligned with texts and subject matter taught in those grade levels (curriculum-based language assessment and intervention). The treatment protocol focuses on four areas: word study, vocabulary in content-area text, comprehension of content-area text, and engagement (Vaughn, Sharon, 2015). It was gathered from the case history that Kathy does not like to be pulled out from class. The RTI will then focus on providing the teachers with the utmost comprehensive instructions and strategies to facilitate learning in the classroom. For this reading intervention approach the research staff hired, trained, and supported reading intervention teachers. All interventionists were certified teachers with experience teaching students with disabilities or struggling readers. They all participated in a weeklong professional development program prior to implementing the interventions. Effective intervention was modeled, and participants had opportunities to practice and receive constructive feedback on the match between their practice and the normative program model. Peer groups were established, and pairs of participants were encouraged to...

First Alarms - roving watchmen using hand bell-ringers or church sextons ringing church bells or factory steam whistles Telegraph Invented by Sam Morse in 1840s From the beginning of recorded history people have learned that early response to fires had positive results in controlling those fires. When someone discovered a fire the fire brigades and fire departments were alerted by roving watchmen using hand bell-ringers or church sextons ringing church bells or factory steam whistles. Unfortunately these systems did not provide very much detail and often directed the fire department to the wrong location. But with the advent of the telegraph, invented in the early 1840’s by Samuel F. B. Morse, firefighters were given a faster and more accurate fire reporting system. In 1847, New York became the first American city to begin construction of a municipal fire alarm system required by ordinance “to construct a line of telegraph, by setting posts in the ground, … for communicating alarms of fire from the City Hall to different fire stations, and [to] instruct the different bell-ringers in the use of said invention.” March 1851 Channing/Farmer Municipal Fire Alarm System Installed in Boston April...

ABSTRACT With the increasing prevalence and demand of large scale cloud computing environment, a researcher has to draw more attention towards the services provided by the CLOUD. As the access to the server is increasing, centralized and distributed computing architecture will produce bottlenecks data which affect the quality of cloud computing services and bring the huge support to users. In this paper we are going to propose certain vital aspects such as memory utilization, storage capacity to check the efficiency and performance of various clouds in cloud computing environment. This is based upon the static data. The proposed mechanism enables users to access memories in various systems depending on the predefined criteria. Selection method for accessing the memory of a resource is properly introduced in this paper. Our evaluation results show that the aggregation of various clouds is effective in indicating the better efficiency and also to reduce network traffic sent over cloud networks. er.akanksha1988@gmail.com WAN networking.
