Griswold High School Student Success Team (SST) – A multi-discipline, school-based team that works collaboratively with teachers, related service providers, and parents to support the learning needs of GHS students not meeting classroom/curriculum expectations. It’s an Early Intervention Initiative The Team’s goal is to provide timely intervention services to improve learning outcomes for struggling students, preventing/ reducing long-term outcomes of failure (discipline, absenteeism, retention, drop-out). Struggling learners are assigned to tiered interventions based on need/response to supports provided. What is SST?

Tiers of Intervention Tier 1 –classroom-based differentiation of instruction Tier 2 –supplemental instruction in addition to general classroom experience (small flexible groupings, re/pre-teaching/ remedial activities, short-term tutoring, indiv./group counseling, etc.) . Typically occurring 2 or 3x/wk. Tier 3 – Highly intense classroom and supplemental interventions to address learning gaps (structured reading program, remedial instruction, etc.) Typically occurring outside the classroom 3 or more day week. Tiers of Intervention Tiered Intervention Design Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Intervention Intensity/Individualization Increased Special Ed. Level Assignment not based on “student” but on core “skill deficit” need.

What Is An Intervention?? An “intervention” is a change in “content of instruction” (what students learn), “process of instruction” (how students learn), and/or “product of instruction” (how students show what they have learned). Personalization (Differentiation) Content Process Product (What students learn) (How students learn) (How students demonstrate learning) Readiness Interests Learning Profile (Student’s ability level) (Student’s desire to study a topic) (Ways a student learns best)

Academy, tutoring, etc.) -Students assigned to Intervention Center Services (Reading/Writing Skills, Math Skills, Exec.Skills) -Students referred for clarification of learning needs (ed./beh. screenings) -Students on select 504 Plans Special Education Intervention Plans (IEP)
