It takes a village to raise a child.
Nigerian proverb
“Collaboration is a process to achieve goals that cannot be reached acting alone (or at least cannot be reached as well). Collaboration is a means to an end and not an end in itself. The desired goal is improved outcomes for children and families.”

Recognition & Response is an
emerging practice in early childhood
education.
![Page 36: Failure is NOT an option! Success from the Start! Failure is NOT an option! Success from the Start! Troup County School System Preschool Exceptional Education](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062317/5a4d1b137f8b9ab059990895/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Why Recognition and Response?
• Recognition and Response ≠ wait to fail
• Recognition and Response = less children in special education and more children in regular education
• Recognition and Response = no special education label
![Page 37: Failure is NOT an option! Success from the Start! Failure is NOT an option! Success from the Start! Troup County School System Preschool Exceptional Education](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062317/5a4d1b137f8b9ab059990895/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Don’t wait for failure

Diagnosis, or a label, leads to treatment: it opens doors for resources.

Many children must wait for that label in order to get services.

Labels reduce ambiguities and provide clear communication devices for professional exchanges of information.
Pro:

There is no clear agreementamongst professionals about how labels are decided.
Moreover, labels lead to generalization of children’sdifficulties, neglecting specific individualized issues.
Con:

Labeling can lead to teasing from peers, and the use ofderogatory terms to describe children who have beenlabeled tends to reflect negative aspects about them.

Recognition:Screening & Progress
Monitoring
• Universal screening within first 2 months (NAEYC, 2005) and on a set schedule after that (fall, winter, spring)
![Page 55: Failure is NOT an option! Success from the Start! Failure is NOT an option! Success from the Start! Troup County School System Preschool Exceptional Education](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062317/5a4d1b137f8b9ab059990895/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Tier 1• Do most children (70-80%) meet screening criteria?
• Identify areas of concern • Importance of talking to the parent• Importance of vision and hearing screening• Has the child been exposed to high quality teaching?• Is it a delay or “late birthday”
• Core curriculum and intentional teaching for all children– Core curriculum is research-based & comprehensive across all domains
• May also include content-specific curricula (e.g., early literacy & math)
• Intentional teaching of key content areas, including planning and evaluating instruction
![Page 56: Failure is NOT an option! Success from the Start! Failure is NOT an option! Success from the Start! Troup County School System Preschool Exceptional Education](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062317/5a4d1b137f8b9ab059990895/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Tier 2• Some children (15-25%) may need targeted
interventions, along with progress monitoring• Small group interventions• RTI conference forms• Facilitating meetings• Maintaining folders• Collecting data
• Explicit small group interventions augmented with embedded interventions– Explicit: structured, teacher-directed, content specific
interventions– Embedded: occur within daily activities, build on children’s
strengths & interests, complement explicit interventions

Tier 3• A few children (5%) will need more
individualized interventions & get more frequent progress monitoring
