Summary
Heartland AEA has implemented a four-tiered problem-solving model of special education service delivery on a large scale throughout the past approximately 13 years. Many important lessons have been learned and translated into improved educational opportunities for students. The process works; challenges remain. As we evolve toward implementation of a 3-tiered model, we anticipate solutions to many past challenges, though we are certain that new problems await. Teaching children with significant learning problems constantly tests our ingenuity. Implementation of a problem-solving model with these students causes us to be confused at a higher level about more important things. In turn, commitment to solve these quandaries leads us to better outcomes for all involved. We would not go back.
