Intervention Specialists\u27 Perceptions of a Tutoring Program for High School Students with Disabilities

Students with disabilities (SWD) at an urban high school in Midwestern United States experienced academic, social, and emotional problems. When SWD experience difficulties in high school, they may drop out and face potentially life-long problems. The purpose of this case study was to understand how a Response to Intervention (RTI) tutoring program addressed the academic, social, and emotional needs of students using the RTI model as a conceptual framework. The research questions addressed intervention specialists\u27 perceptions of how use of the RTI model helped them meet SWD needs and what tutoring documents revealed about tutoring practices. Data sources consisted of interviews with 7 purposely selected intervention specialists who worked as special education teachers at the research site for at least 2 years, lesson plans provided by participants, and reviews of 20 student work samples including pre and post assessments. The data were analyzed by coding for emerging ideas related to interventions within the RTI framework and academic and social/emotional issues. The findings revealed that intervention specialists perceived the overarching academic difficulty for SWD was reading deficits, the out-of-class tutoring program was beneficial for SWD academically by using one-on-one and small-group instruction to scaffold success, and RTI was successful socially/emotionally by guiding students to use appropriate classroom behaviors. The results of the documentary data was that the created lessons were academically appropriate for the SWD they taught in the tutoring center. This study can contribute to positive social change by providing guidance to intervention specialists for increasing SWD social and academic success

Flying Black Ponies,

Flying Black Ponies is an effective combi- nation of combat narrative, squadron history, and personal memoir, telling the story of Light Attack Squadron 4 (VAL 4, or the “Black Ponies”), a naval aviation squadron stationed in the Mekong Delta during the Vietnam War. During most of the war, the U.S. Navy made an intense effort with its Mobile Riverine Force to interdict enemy arms and supplies that flowed, primarily from Cambodia, across the Mekong Delta into the area sur- rounding Saigon. Kit Lavell’s book is a readable account of the Black Ponies’ im- portant role in this hazardous interdic- tion campaign

Suggestions for Simplification of Criminal Procedure

At this time when we have under consideration a proposal for simplification of procedure in order to facilitate the trial or hearing of civil cases, it may be significant to some degree that no similar proposal has been made in relation to the procedural machinery for trial of criminal cases. For the vast majority of our number, simplification of civil procedure would affect only a portion of our work. It may be that reform of civil procedure enlists the greater degree of attention because so much thereof is promoted and fostered by the bar organizations, many of whose most active members devote themselves exclusively to matters civil in nature. I am not prepared to chart a well-defined course for reform of criminal procedure. Nevertheless, it may very well be that we as a profession, particularly we as members of the judiciary, would be remiss if we should fail to make any exploration whatsoever of the possibility of keeping reforms in the one branch of jurisdiction abreast of the reforms in the other
