What does Intervention look like?

Students not making adequate progress in the regular classroom in Tier 1 must be provided with increasingly intensive instruction matched to their needs on the basis of levels of performance and rates of progress. These services and interventions are provided in small-group settings in addition to instruction in the general curriculum. As a district, these are the expectations for our students in elementary grades:

• All students receive high quality Tier I instruction in reading and math.
• Students who are not making adequate progress in the regular classroom will receive Tier II, intensive instruction matched to their needs.
• Intervention is a protected time during the day, every day, when only intervention occurs.  This is not a time for administrative duties.  
• Intervention plans should be documented in plan books and preparations completed to ensure that this time is devoted to intervening and reteaching skills to students in small groups.
• Names of students who are receiving intervention are listed in plans.
• Data is collected and documented daily.
