High Quality Instruction

Early Warning Indicators

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.

Stephen Foster ES Response to Intervention (RtI) process uses student academic and behavior information to identify students with learning and behavior needs to guarantee that those in danger of failure and/or retention are receiving assistance and support. The early intervention strategies begin with cycles of grade level data chats following FAST Progress Monitoring 1. Students in need of deeper assessments will be identified. From the assessment data, the collaborative problem-solving team and literacy team meet with individual teachers to identify students' reading levels, as well as areas of concern in order to place students in the appropriate intervention with the targeted reading strategy. Unit and Topic assessments are used to progress monitor the students' Tier 1 data, as well as intervention skill checks to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. In addition to intervention, students receive differentiated TIER 1 instruction and independent tasks to meet their needs and scaffold grade level standards.
