How does false confidence in the assessment and instructional practices of RTI affect the educational needs of culturally and linguistically diverse students?

What will be an ideal response?


Correct Answer:
Teachers might believe that since assessments and instructional practices are scientifically based, they are effective for all students. However, culturally and linguistically diverse students are often not included when benchmarks for assessments and instructional practices are normed. Thus, diverse students are often provided interventions and more restrictive services based on invalid assessment data. Many teachers assume that the implementation of response-to-intervention removes cultural bias from their decisions to move students from one tier to another or to refer students for special education services. As a result, they employ the same deficit-based assumptions as the discrepancy model.
