Florida Continuous Improvement Model

         I also learned about the Florida Continuous Improvement Model.  This model is in place to ensure that teachers and students strive for success continuously.  The model incorporates planning, doing, checking and acting.  I think this model really has a lot to do with RED 4519. I think the most important part of this model is the check portion. The assessment that you conduct gives you data to analyze to determine if any extra help or if an intervention is needed. I think this will be really useful model to keep in mind as a future teacher. I want my students to succeed; I want to be a teacher who positively impacts my students. I think if I implement this model in my classroom, my students will succeed and I will succeed as a teacher. I also learned that this model has a lot to do with RTI (response to intervention). RTI is used to provide early and well organized help to students who are significantly behind and struggling. It is important because we want to improve their academic success so they don’t drop out. For RTI to be possible you need to frequently monitor your students’ progress. This is where the FCIM comes into play, for RTI to happen we need to be continuously planning, doing, checking, and acting. This model is very important for ELL students, because a lot of ELL students happen to be those behind and struggling students. If we don’t incorporate RTI into their education they will drop out.
