Using the data below, describe all intervention strategies employed by the school to improve the academic performance of students identified by the early warning system. Through the beginning of the year screening process, students are identified as needing Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 instruction. Tier 1 instruction is delivered to all students daily. Within the literacy block, students receive differentiated instruction through small group guided reading. Students are engaged in literacy centers and independent work to meet their literacy needs. Additional support is provided for Tier 2 and Tier 3 students based on assessments such as the iReady Diagnostic And FAST PM 1 Data. Instructional plans include accommodations for ESE (IEP plans), 504 accommodations and ESOL strategies for ELL students. Students not meeting quarterly proficiency are placed on a PMP plan and receive double-dose instruction. A schoolwide intervention block from 8:30-9:00 AM was instituted this year. Students who continue to have difficulties in learning are considered for support in the Collaborative Problem Solving process. The RtI team assists with identifying student needs, including attendance and tardy trends, academic, medical and or behavior and social progression. The team identifies the problem, analyzes the problem, designs the instructional intervention, and progress monitors to see if the intervention is working. Data is analyzed in subsequent RtI meetings to view the student’s progress. Parent feedback during RtI meetings is valued and needed. The Identification/Intervention Decision Tree charts are used to guide us in identifying the best instructional plan that will target the needs of our students. To support reading interventions we are currently utilizing SIPPS, Reading Horizons and Benchmark Advanced Interventions. All Kindergarten, First and Second Grade classes will be using UFLI as Tier 1 Phonics instruction. |
