10. Current Elementary Support Model 2013-14 Reading Support 1 Literacy Specialist / Interventionist 1 Reading Para 1 Reading Intern Math Support 1 Math Specialist / TAG Teacher 1 Math Intern 10

11. Concerns with Current Model Difficult for 1 person to be the interventionist, oversee Para and intern and provide coaching to teachers Interns change every year requiring a lot of support annually Para and Interns need to be overseen by certified teacher 11

12. Proposed Elementary Support Model 2014-15 Reading Support 1 Literacy Specialist (Teacher) 1 Literacy Support Teacher 1 Reading Intern Math Support 1 Math Specialist / TAG Teacher 1 Math Para 12

13. Expected Benefits of New Model 1 certified teacher dedicated to coaching teachers Addition of certified support teacher with sole focus on servicing intervention students Replacing Math Intern with Math Para for more stability and stronger skill set 13

14. Special Education Increase Currently: Our Special Education Director conducts all out of district PPT’s in addition to running the Special Services Department. Concerns: Between Magnet Schools, Charter Schools, Vo-Tech Schools, Public and Private Special Education placements there are 29 facilities which require a Waterford Special Education LEA representative to attend and agree with the billable hours of service being provided. Proposal: 0.5 FTE Special Education teacher to conduct out- of-district PPTs. 14
