Interventions will be designed to meet the individual needs of students. Students may be identified for intervention services as early as kindergarten. According to the AIS plan, Dial screening, Boehm testing, and kindergarten checklists are the first indicators of student performance. Student performance on these measures combined with teacher observations may indicate the need for intervention. At the primary level, criteria for intervention are based on the student s emergent literacy and mathematical skills.
Students can receive various levels of intervention based on analyzed performance levels.
Interventions may include extended time, individual or small group work, or focused services with a reading, math, speech or other specialist. Student performance at the primary level will be monitored by literacy and math profiles. In addition to the above measures, students in grade 3 take a series of standardized assessments. The assessment results provide additional information about student performance, areas of academic strength or weakness. These results are combined with the other classroom performance indicators, and the historical assessment data listed above to identify those students requiring additional support prior to taking the fourth grade assessments.
