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.

Western High School is committed to bridging the performance gap and enhancing the academic outcomes of students identified by the early warning system. We will achieve this through the implementation of targeted intervention strategies. Continuing from previous years, students will receive additional small group instruction in reading, math, and ELL/ESE support through push-ins and pull-outs facilitated by support personnel. Focused attention is given to identified students that need additional support. 

Teachers are dedicated to implementing Tier 1 classroom strategies, as well as Tier 2 and 3 interventions for students within the RTI process. They will continue to hold conferences with students and parents to discuss progress and plan future steps. Students with critical literacy deficits are referred to our student support team for further diagnostic testing. Additionally, students facing academic struggles are directed to extra support in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Various honor societies  provide peer tutoring in these and other subjects. 

For students identified with math and reading deficits, progress monitoring plans (PMP) will be established through our RTI/MTSS process. Moreover, a significant number of teachers participate in the Life Skills program, fostering close alliances between monitoring teachers during the Study Hall Personalization period and the students. This allows for a consistent and thorough review of student needs and fosters important connections during this time.
