...Refera The Pre-Referral Process: Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) /Response to Intervention (RTI) Anika M. Taylor Special Education Foundations and Framework February 20, 2013 Schools and entire districts have embarked on multiple strategies to address challenging areas for students with disabilities and those at risk for behavioral and academic failures. Over the years, educators and policymakers have recognized the need to create, implement, and document practices that have proven to make an impact on student learning and behaviors. Many of the strategies used have focused on the collection of data and the collaboration between and amongst professionals. Today, educators agree that the key to effective interventions for students at risk for failure and those with disabilities lies in a comprehensive approach that fosters growth in student overall learning and behaviors. Several approaches were designed to meet the challenges that students experience as they engage in their learning. These approaches include two processes outlined in this discussion: Response to Intervention (RTI) and Positive Behavioral Intervention Support (PBIS). Response to Intervention (RTI) integrates assessments and intervention within a school wide, multi-level prevention system to maximize student achievement and reduce behavior problems. The RTI process helps to identify students for poor learning outcomes, provide evidence based interventions and...

...Pre-Referral The CSAP process is a highly comprehensive, step by step process that effectively ensures students are not inappropriately referred to special education. This model incorporates a multi tiered intervention model to implement interventions and stresses data collection. Through the use of CSAP teams, a group of professions collectively reflect on data to make informed decisions regarding a student's learning program. By setting aside time to meet and review data, the school administration stresses the importances of the pre-referral system and ensures teacher accountability. At ESTLA, a plethora of resources suggesting interventions is available. This additional measures ensure that teachers have an ever growing toolbox, eliminating...

...markets for this new service. There are many marketing decisions one make in their effort to build an effective program, but should always include Ability, Availability, and Price. Ability refers to skill, but also a special focus in the practice. Availability is the amount of time one has to invest in the practice and of course cost, this is contingent on the cost of service and supplies and salary one wants to receive, all three are critical to making marketing decisions. One segment of marketing is through private practice, the goal is develop enough patient-to-patient clients to ensure a profitable practice. Another marketing approach is small group practice marketing, this segment has partnerships that develop with physicians, using referral counter parts, contracts, and staff privileges at multiple hospitals and these develop into specialty orthopedic group practices. Academic practices is the focus of reaching a broad spectrum of patients through the use of radio, television, government contract, and managed care organizations, revenue may come from teaching in academic settings and consulting. The challenges to a successful practice can be escalated by overhead cost and of course liability concerns, but the over-all goal is to improve a successful practice over time by defining specific practice goals. Two come to mind, profitability and expertise. (Grogan, 2007) Describe the possible barriers to entry and exit for a physician wanting to establish a solo practice in internal...

...Colorado Springs has different social service agencies that provide different needs to families and individuals within the community. The Department of Human Services serves El Paso County with adoption, child and adult protective services, substance abuse, and mental health services through referrals within community resources. Resources that are more accessible and available in the community deal with child welfare issues such as abuse and neglect. Child Protective Services goes through a process after an individual reports any abuse or neglect. Child Protective Services can get referrals from doctors, hospitals, police, and schools in regards to abuse and neglect which then the intake unit at the department checks into each report. The adoption unit strives in helping children without a home find permanent placing within a foster family. The unit also works closely with foster care agencies in the community to match and place children in the right adoptive family and provide resources for foster families as they transition with these children. A Kidz Hope Homes assists children from birth until the age of 21 years’ old towards stability and family support when they don’t have any. Bethany Christian Services...

...plus benefits, but will eliminate overtime for Jeff. Hiring a new MR Technologist will have the following benefits: increased productivity, less errors, alleviate workload for Jeff allowing for a backup when Jeff needs a day off, and increase revenues. The only cons of doing this are the new costs that will be added and the risk that this solution may not pay off. Having a back log of 14 days is a huge issue in the medical field. If a patient needs an MRI it is because something is wrong in their body and they need to figure it out ASAP. This is providing terrible quality of service to its patients. Extensive wait times have caused bottlenecks in the MRI process and have placed constraints on the overall process. Patients are going to be upset and bring their business to another clinic. Quinte is going to lose revenue and referrals from the doctor and other patients. I am confident that the scheduling system needs to be revamped. Patients need to be aware of what to wear to the appointment to save time, have a waiting list...

SYS-ED/COMPUTER EDUCATION TECHNIQUES, INC. (Solaris – System Admin: Intro - 6.5) Ch 2: Page i Solaris System Administration: Introduction 1 Operating System Concepts Operating System: Definition An operating system is the set of programs that controls a computer. The core of the operating system is the kernel. The kernel is a control program that functions in privileged state that allows all hardware instructions to be executed. It reacts to interrupts from external devices and to service requests and traps from processes. The kernel creates and terminates processes and responds to requests for service. Operating systems are resource managers. The main resource is computer hardware in the form of processors, storage, input/output devices, communication devices, and data. Operating system functions include: • Implementing the user interface. • Sharing hardware among users. • Allowing users to share data among themselves. • Preventing users from interfering with one another. • Scheduling resources among users. • Facilitating input/output. • Recovering from errors...

...UNDERSTANDING THREADS Simply put, a thread is a program's path of execution. Most programs written today run as a single thread, causing problems when multiple events or actions need to occur at the same time. Let's say, for example, a program is not capable of drawing pictures while reading keystrokes. The program must give its full attention to the keyboard input lacking the ability to handle more than one event at a time. The ideal solution to this problem is the seamless execution of two or more sections of a program at the same time. Threads allow us to do this. A process is essentially a "heavy" unit of multitasking: as an approximation, think of it as an "application" (though it can include 'background' or 'system' processes such as your battery monitor, mouse and keyboard server, PDA synchronization tool etc). A thread, on the other hand, is a more "lightweight" unit. Threads are can be seen essentially sub processes. Informally, we can think of them as tasks that belong to a program and that can run "simultaneously". For them to run simultaneously, each of these two tasks will run in a separate thread. Depending on the number of CPUs available and the number of competing threads, some of those threads actually will run in parallel on different CPUs, whilst in other cases the illusion of simultaneous execution will be achieved by "juggling" threads in and out of the available CPUs. A part of the OS called the thread scheduler takes care of deciding...

...Chris and Pat Smith, and Martin and Miller decided it was best to have a termination contact set in place to secure all partakers in their final decisions. They noted it was best for all to have precise, clear explanations all of all essential fundamentals for the termination of their business partnership. An acknowledgement of the effective termination date would need to be set, and all potential risks, if any, should be stated for all parties. The owners and the chefs would meet for a period of 30 minutes and try to dissolve their partnership. The owners and the chefs blame each other for the failure of At Your Service; however, all partakers should act as responsible, mature adults during the meeting. It would speed up the termination process; especially if all partakers can...

...Case Study Tresa Jellison HCS/483 November 12, 2012 Dr. Kaderie Case Study The basic IT implementation process is the whole process of setting up and running an IT based program for a company. It starts from the beginning to the end of the process and throughout the whole process even after the last step has been taken. You have the planning stage, and this will include what exactly what you are looking for and what you want the program to do and how it will operate. Who will be using this program and who will it be beneficial to. You will have to go and get bids or quotes from companies that can provide this type of service. Depending on what is being implemented you have to do weeks, months and even years of research to ensure that the program will benefit everyone involved and that time and money is not being wasted. A lot of the things that were done are this analysis did not follow the fundamentals of implementation. During the execution of the program there where many bugs that had to be fixed that could have been prevented if the right questions and queries where ran before going live. There should have been a trial or practice run before the whole system went live. And they should have not done it at all of the sites. Only a couple of the sites should have had the program and should have been using it to get the bugs out. There were way off budget and there were a lot of hidden details that should have been reported. At least this way there would have...

...Labs Lab 4.1: Using Linux Command-Line Basics What is the purpose? This lab demonstrates how to redirect data from a process and how to identify and kill a process. What are the steps? • Task 1: Redirecting and piping standard output Procedure 1. Obtain a list of files from the home directory, including the hidden files. Redirect the output to a file named Listing by using the ls -a > listing command. 2. Obtain a long list of files, including the hidden files, and append the output to the same file. 3. Use the cat listing | less command to view the file and pipe the output to less. 4. Use the cat command to view the file again. However, this time, pipe the output to lpr to print the file. 5. Redirect the output of ls to the special file /dev/null. What happens? It’s redirected to dev/null Why? It’s null. • Task 2: Putting tasks in the background and terminating the job Procedure 1. Use the tail –f command to view your listing file from the previous task. The –f option tells tail to follow changes; therefore, the file will continue to run this command until you cancel the command by pressing Ctrl+C. Put the file in the background using the tail -f listing & command. You may need to press Enter again to view the command prompt. 2. Put the process in the background and display the prompt again. Run the top command in the foreground. This will provide you a list of your top 20 processes by CPU usage. Put this list in the background and stop it by pressing...

...are compared. Process Management, File Management, Memory Management, and Security are going to be compared between Windows, Linux, UNIX, and Mac operating systems. Every operating system is different and is interesting to see how every piece of software has the same outcome but has different procedures in between. Process management is defined as how the OS manages multiple programs running at the same time. A thread is a feature of an OS that enables parallel processing within a single process. UNIX, Windows, and Mach are all multitasking systems that support both processes and threads. They can be compared in several respects with regard to the process management features. When executing a program on UNIX, the system creates an environment for that program. In this setting there is everything needed to execute that program. The OS tracks processes though a five digit number Recognized as the Process ID. Each process has its own unique PID. PID’s ultimately repeat because all the probable numbers are used, and the next PID repeats the system again. At any time, no two Processes with the same PID occur in the system, because it is the PID that UNIX uses to track its processes. Each UNIX process has two ID numbers. The PID or process ID, and PPID or Parent process ID. Each user process in the system has a PPID. Normally, when a child process is killed, the parent process is told by a SIGCHLD signal. Then the parent can do another task, or restart a new process as needed. When...
