Academic and Behavioral Interventions

Pine Ridge Education Center implements a comprehensive system of academic interventions designed to improve student achievement and address individual learning needs. Reading interventions include i-Ready Reading, Reading Horizons Discovery (Grades K-2), Reading Horizons Elevate (Grades 3-6), Benchmark Intervention Programs, and Read 180 The Code. Mathematics interventions include i-Ready Math, the Math Fluency Plan, the Math Diagnosis Intervention System (MDIS), SAVVAS Realize for reteaching, strategic interventions, intensive interventions, after-school tutoring, and TouchMath.

In addition to these evidence-based programs, identified students receive targeted reading and mathematics support from Academic Coaches and ESE Support Facilitators during the school day. Based on MTSS/RtI data reviews and individual student needs, students may be provided with an additional 30 minutes of intervention at varying times throughout the instructional day. Intervention services are specifically targeted toward students in the RISE, Behavior Change, and the Behavior Intervention Programs who are identified as requiring Tier II and Tier III academic support.

Pine Ridge Education Center also provides a continuum of behavioral supports through its MTSS/RtI framework. Behavioral interventions include Compass Curriculum, EVERFI, ReThinkEd, the schoolwide Behavior Point System, mentorship programs, mindfulness activities, and services provided by the Licensed Social Worker (LSW). These interventions are designed to promote positive behavioral outcomes, increase student engagement, and support the social-emotional well-being of students.

Expected Outcome

Through the implementation of targeted academic and behavioral interventions, Pine Ridge Education Center aims to increase student achievement, improve academic growth, reduce behavioral incidents, and ensure students receive the individualized support necessary for success both academically and socially.
