Pines Lakes Elementary provides students with educational opportunities stemming from the State Standards.  At PLE we use a variety of internal progress monitoring practices that align with grade-level standards.  With the help of and support of content area specialist coaches and resource teachers, we provide each grade level with a scope and sequence that allows the time to teach, assess, adjust methodology based upon student performance data, and reassess to ensure student understanding.

All students are exposed to Tier 1 instruction.  All students receive an additional 30 minutes of instruction in Reading to target their individual literacy goal.  Teachers also use interventions with students that are not meeting grade-level expectations. Using a data-driven approach, small group teacher-led instruction is provided using research-based materials and methodology.  Results are graphed to allow the Response to Intervention (RtI) team to review each case with the teacher and parent.  At meetings, all members are able to provide input to ensure the best plan is developed and monitored for each student.  This process also occurs with behavior concerns.

To address literacy intervention at our school, our teachers employ a variety of programs and delivery techniques that are research-based that target specific deficiencies.  Programs include the use of Benchmark Intervention and SIPPS.  For mathematics, teachers have access to the i-Ready instructional materials, Touchmath, and the MDIS program from Envision Math! adoption intervention books.

Behavioral intervention strategies are employed in the classroom and supported through our ESE specialist.  At Pines Lakes we utilitze a positive behavior plan, where we highlight the fundamentals of the "Power of Three".  The "Power of 3" was learned during a recent grant partnership with CLI (Children's LIteracy Initiative). The Power of 3 focuses on Taking Care of Self, Taking Care of Others, and Taking Care of our Environment.  These expectations are taught and reinforced, resulting in a strong and positive school climate.
