What Is Intervention?

What is Intervention? A minute session, outside of the regular math instructional block A small group session that focuses on skills identified by assessments, and/or teacher observation Designed 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? Before School Afterschool During Special Areas During Differentiated Instruction

Types of Intervention Push In Intervention Pull 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.

So What’s Your Plan? With your 12:00 partner, tell how you would ensure that interventions were effective and successful in your school?

Activity Develop 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 Clubs Project-based instruction Pull group during differentiated instruction Allow 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 Write about 3 new things that you learned today and how this will help you increase student achievement in your classroom. Why is having a strong plan for interventions/enrichment such an important part of increasing student achievement?
