What Is Intervention?

What is Intervention?

A 30-60 minute session, outside of the regular math instructional blockA small group session that focuses on skills identified by assessments, and/or teacher observationDesigned to close critical learning gaps and increase mathematical fluency

Who Attends Intervention?

Accountability Groups– Lowest 25%– Bubble 2 Students– AYP Subgroups (i.e. ELL Students)

Students that show deficiencies on assessments (fluid groups)

When Do Interventions Take Place?

Types of Intervention

Push In InterventionPull Out Intervention

Push-in Interventions

Interventionists travel to the classrooms.Works with groups of students during small group instructional time.May also assist the teacher by reinforcing the lesson.

Pull-Out Interventions

Interventions take place in a designated area (i.e. lab, portable, identified room).Teachers deliver students to the designated intervention room/lab.Interventionist works with a small group of students, utilizing the Elevations curriculum.

Choosing Interventionists

Sit in on interviewing process.– Give person a practice assessment– Watch them teach one intervention

session

Choose someone that is comfortable with math.

Getting Started

Interventionists are given a scheduled time to push-in/pull-out students.

Getting StartedReview the rosters of interventionists.

Getting Started

Review the skills calendar.

Getting Started

Plan with interventionists– Discuss/Review lessons– Discuss manipulative usage– Provide other materials to ensure

organization (containers, binders, copy boxes etc.)

Keys to Effective Intervention

Communicate constantly with interventionists.Monitor student progress through quizzes.Visit interventions.Monitor attendance by reviewing sign-in sheets.Interventionists communicate with teachers.

So What’s Your Plan?

With your 12:00 partner, tell how you would ensure that interventions were effective and successful in your school?

ActivityDevelop a skills calendar, by looking at an Edusoft report. Identify which Elevations lessons you would use. Be sure to incorporate quizzes!

Think-Pair-Share

With your partner, discuss how doing this activity helps to streamline and guide interventions.

Enrichment

Why Do We Need Enrichment?

Many times we focus on the lowest 25% for extra interventions.Students that are proficient, according to FCAT data, often fall to lower levels the following year.

How do you provide enrichment?

How To Provide Enrichment?

Math ClubsProject-based instructionPull group during differentiated instructionAllow high-performing students to be student teachers to tutor/guide in small groups

Your Turn

Discuss other ways to provide enrichment for our students.

Reflections
