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.

Step1: Teachers will review data. For students who are struggling, the teacher inputs Tier 1 strategies on FOCUS as part of the PMP process. The teacher then meets with a school case manager to discuss the area of concern. The student's parents are informed about the area of concern.
Step 2: After 4-6 weeks of interventions, if progress is not noted, a meeting will be scheduled with the case manager to discuss implementation of the Tier 2 instruction. The teacher will continue to collect data and graph the student's progress in comparison to the small group.
Step 3: A meeting will be scheduled with the Multi-Tiered Support System (MTSS) Team to review the data and collaborate on the next steps. Members of the team consists of: an administrator, the school counselor, the ESE Specialist, the school psychologist, the school social worker, the literacy coach, and the classroom teacher. Parents will be invited to the meeting. 
Step 4: If no progress is noted, the student moves to more intensive intervention in Tier 3 instruction. A follow up date is then set for the next 4-6 weeks to monitor the student's progress.
Any attendance concerns are addressed by the teacher first after 2 days unexcused.  If no reply by parents or family is in need the social worker that is involved.  After 5 days we have a meeting at the school with administration to discuss attendance.  Students on reassignment are also discussed with parents the importance of being at school and the consequences.  Attendance is discussed daily on morning announcements by the principal to discuss the number of students absent the day before.  Also brag tags are given to students who have perfect attendance each month along with grade level rewards based the highest percentage.
