I am eager to begin the study of how to help the slow learner. I hope this inquiry will inform and equip my school to help this population of struggling learner. Within the RTI process, we can successfully (mostly) intervene appropriately for those students that have some learning "gaps," or for those students that struggle with staying on task, and usually are successfully in identifying those that have true learning disabilities. Where we are not as successful is in a "grey" area of identifying and helping the slow-learner. I hope this process empowers our teachers and interventionists to help these students earlier so that they can remain on grade level, making steady progress, and reaching set goals.
As we build a repertoire of research-based interventions and classroom strategies, I hope to apply what we learn to all students that we suspect to be slow-learners (as well as those that are identified) beyond our monitor group. Additionally, I hope to build the confidence and lesson the anxiety of our teachers in helping these students.
I feel this study will help our RTI team to add to our "tool-kit," the appropriate strategies for these students, as we are always seeking to find interventions that meet specific needs of each learner within the RTI process.
