Baker MSA Data

But can we attribute these numbers to the AIPs? YES! How?

All AIP Students Math

All AIP Students Reading Between 33-47% of all students targeted with an AIP passed the MSA!!!!!! ( 29 out of 86 in math 37 out of 80 in reading)

Completing the AIP These are notes that reflect student progress, behavior changes, revisions in interventions, parent conferences, etc. The OBJECTIVE identifies what the target is for this student. This could be formative or summative. The SMART goal is Specific Measurable Attainable Result Oriented Time Sensitive Think about what programs your students are currently participating in and/or have been recommended for over the summer or next year. What evidence will we use to evaluate how we are meeting this child’s needs. These ideas are a result of biweekly intervention meetings.

SMART FILE As students demonstrate continued proficiency on all tracked data points, they are moved to the SMART file.

Student is identified for an AIP. Discussions about student reveal shyness and discomfort in talking in groups. Team determines one intervention is to provide safe opportunities for student to share in non-verbal or low-risk ways. Team asks SDT to provide and model strategies so teachers can more effectively support student’s needs. “Steps” to Successfully Meeting Student Needs Teachers use strategies with student, monitor impact through AIP discussions, and document results on AIP running records.

Teams discuss Is this student being successful on the targeted data points? Team leader Places student in “smart” file Teams continue to discuss student in AIP meetings Continues to monitor; Bring student back to full AIP participation if data deems Team leader sets agenda Team members bring academic data related to AIP interventions Teams examine key data points Determined for strategic monitoring Move new students in need to AIP pool Yes No

Suggested Role Responsibilities for AIP Success Team Leader Facilitate creation of initial AIPs by examining data and strategically selecting students and appropriate interventions Monitor the implementation of interventions as determined by individual AIPs Set AIP meeting agenda Facilitate discussions Assign necessary roles (recorder, time keeper) Ensure AIPs are maintained and updated after meetings Communicate team needs and suggestions to administration, SDT, counselor, and other pertinent personnel

Team Members: Help create initial AIPs by examining data and strategically selecting students and appropriate interventions Implement classroom interventions as determined by individual AIPs Suggested Role Responsibilities for AIP Success Prepare for AIP discussions by providing evidence and data to support or refute effectiveness of interventions Participate in AIP discussions Support team leader with AIP updating

Staff Development Teacher Support teams in examining data and strategically selecting students and appropriate interventions Support Team Leaders in preparation for meetings Support team and provide input at AIP discussions Provide necessary strategies, training, or support to teachers as determined by students’ individual interventions Help ensure integrity and quality of AIP documents Maintain “big picture” view of schoolwide AIPs Suggested Role Responsibilities for AIP Success

Principal/Administrator: Participate in AIP discussions Ensure all participants are regularly attending meetings (including counselors) Ensure quality and integrity of AIP plans Support teams with determined interventions Maintain “big picture” of AIPs throughout the school Suggested Role Responsibilities for AIP Success
