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.

Sawgrass Elem will address the early warning indicators identified on the percent of students in Level 1 and 2 in ELA or Math. We are implementing the
following intervention strategies to improve academic performance with the use of Quarterly Data Chats, Small group push-in and pull out support and the RtI process
Reading and Math interventions/strategies vary from grade-level to grade-level, based on analysis of diagnostic tests, and/or pre-identified as indicators of students in need, classroom observations, and other classroom assessments. Students with high-risk indicators are monitored through  the RtI process in order to address both academic and social-emotional needs.
Strategies:
Differentiated instruction; additional ½ hour of reading intervention instruction outside of literacy instruction block & 1/2 hour math interventions outside of the math block; peer tutoring; pull-out small groups with literacy coach

Reading:
Grades K-5: UFLI, i-Ready, Benchmark Advanced, i-Ready

Math:
Grades K-5:  hands-on activities based on student needs; Math Journals,  EnVision Reteach, SuccessMarker; Math Journals, Small Group Push-In instruction (Grades 3 - 5), i-Ready
