COURSE DESCRIPTION
When supporting students with learning difficulties, there are evidence-based tools you can use to help them succeed. This Melbourne MicroCert is ideal for current and future teachers, as well as allied health workers, who want to understand how the Response to Intervention (RtI) model can be used to detect learning challenges and lead to better outcomes for students. Using Response to Intervention to Support Learning has been co-designed by SPELD Victoria, the state’s peak body for those with specific learning disabilities (SLDs). Understand how to use the Response to Intervention (RtI) model: Discover how the Response to Intervention (RtI) model can help students experiencing learning challenges, as part of a Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). Understand how it provides useful frameworks to guide and organise support for students with learning difficulties and SLDs. Gain new assessment tools and learn to interpret key data: Explore a range of relevant assessment tools that can help in the diagnosis, intervention, and ongoing monitoring of students’ learning across the tiers of the RtI model. Learn to interpret data and recommendations of specialist reports, and consider ways to make accommodations and adjustments to tasks to support students with SLDs. Develop SMART goals to enhance literacy and numeracy learning: Learn how to understand and use assessment data to develop Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Time-bound (SMART) goals, which can help support literacy and numeracy learning, as well as the wellbeing of your students. Put your knowledge into practice and get better student outcomes: Using a provided case scenario and data set, you’ll put these strategies into practice to explain where a student would be situated within the RTI framework, and describe the assessment, progress-monitoring, and interventions needed to support the student’s literacy or numeracy development. You’ll also analyse and interpret a set of raw data and form SMART goals.
Skills and learning outcomes: By the end of this Melbourne MicroCert, you’ll be able to: Explain the Response to Intervention (RtI) framework and how it can support the learning of students with learning difficulties, including Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs); Analyse the screening, progress-monitoring, diagnostic, and outcome assessments applied within the Response to intervention framework relative to the purposes of identifying and supporting students with learning difficulties; Analyse assessment data to formulate SMART goals that support the learning and wellbeing of students with learning difficulties.
