Welcome to our blog!
Before an introduction to the actual blog itself... Let us tell you a little bit more about ourselves. We are Erin and Lindsay and are both currently pursuing our education specialist degrees in the school psychology program at Ball State University. After obtaining our master's degrees in school psychology this past June, we have begun our practicum experiences within Indiana elementary schools while still continuing to take courses at the university.
Through both coursework and practical experiences, we have both become very familiar with the Response to Intervention (RTI) process and the ups and downs it has played on the field of education over the past few years. As we prepare to become school psychologists, we have come across several resources that can help schools work to increase reading achievement for their student body.
The purpose of this blog is to provide fellow school psychologists with different resources to help teachers, parents, and students improve reading. Since school psychologists are such an integral part of reading interventions and the RTI process, this blog will lend a single place they can come to find helpful information and tools. We both look forward to sharing the knowledge, resources, tools, and practical experiences we have encountered in our experiences in the career thus far. We also hope to provide additional findings from recent media sources on literacy improvement, as well as questions/testimonials/concerns of other faculty members and school psychologists we encounter on a daily basis.
