Student Identification

• Once mCLASS BOY assessments have beencompleted, Intervention teachers rankstudents according to their composite scoresusing the Class Summaries, highlighting allstudents who are red or yellow in two ormore measures-not including compositescore. The Wake County Digging DeeperAssessments will be administered accordingto the Universal Screening and DiagnosticAssessment flowchart. Teacher/Tier IICollaboration & Best Services Meetings willinvolve any stakeholders to determine whichservice will best meet students' needs. • **In addition to the above, Kindergartenstudents who do not score 9 out of 9 (100%)on the Letterland (Lesson 42)Letter SoundsAssessment and based on anecdotal notesthere has been limited progression towardsprint concepts mastery, then consider thisstudent for differentiation within Core or TierII intensive or strategic services based upontheir degree of need. • During collaboration, information obtainedfrom the classroom teacher observationbased on TRC data, Progress Monitoring,Common Assessments, etc.will be discussedand any new students or other studentconcerns will be updated at this time. • Students will exit intervention whenbenchmark is achieved and maintained asevidenced by progress monitoring datapoints, digging deeper, and/or formativeassessment data as well as mutualagreement of all stakeholders.

• The following data will be evaluated todetermine the student need: summativeassessments, teacher observations, reportcard, retention, special services, CASE 21,EOGs, and math intervention services fromprevious year and/or semester.• Ranking forms will be completed for eachclass.• Students are ranked by multiple criteriapoints which are determined through the useof grade level specific Ranking Form andRubrics.• Ranking forms will be updated during PLTsaccording to report cards, commonassessments, teacher observation,benchmark assessents, and progressmonitoring data.• A best service meeting is held byintervention teachers with classroom, ESL,CCR teacehrs, and all other stakeholders todetermine which service will best meetstudents' needs.• Students will enter into intensive mathintervention defined by grade level rubrics.• Students in grades 1-5 without data will beassessed using CASE 21 math assessmentfrom the previous grade.• Students will exit intervention whenbenchmark is achieved and maintained asevidence by progress monitoring data points,and/or formative assessment data, as well asmutual agreement of all stakeholders.

Intervention Structure

• Intensive service: direct instruction inpull-out or station teaching groups 20-30minutes a day 3-5 days per week.• Strategic service: pull-out or stationteaching groups 10-20 minutes a day 2-4days per week.• Classroom strategy groups: 5-15 minutes1-3 days per week as needed/requested. • Literacy collaborative planning with gradesK-5 will be held each week.

• There will be a dedicated K/1 LiteracyCoach/Math Specialist. The teacher willprovide pull-out/push-in interventions forstudents below grade level in kindergartenand first grade as determined by the multiplecriteria rubric.• The remaining math intervention staff willbe dedicated to providing interventions forgrades 2-5 where there will be push-inintervention. Services for the identifiedintensive students will be for the needieststudents at each grade level as determinedby the Multiple Criteria Rubric. All otherstudents in the classroom will be supportedby the intervention team as part of thepush-in model.• Grade K and 1: Days and times may varybased on student need as demonstrated byUniversal Screening and Benchmark Data. Session length will vary from 20-35 minutesand will meet up to 3-5 days per week. Thenumber of pull-out groups/station teaching ateach grade level will be based on need.• Grades 2-5: Push-in/co-teaching at least 4days per week for 45-60 minutes.• Collaborative planning with grades K-5 onthe non-served day each week.

Instruction

• Based on need, students will be identifiedas intensive or strategic and will be served insmall groups of 4-6 students. • K & 1st:Letterland intervention lessonformat• 2-5: Intervention formats will provide directand explicit instruction based on studentneed and guided by assessment data,collaboration and anecdotal notes. This mayinclude topics focused on fluency, word work,vocabulary and/or comprehension thataddress grade level expectations onstudents' levels.

• We hold monthly collaboration meetingswith classroom teachers and weekly PLTs todiscuss student needs. The focus ofintervention lessons will be discussed duringthese meetingsd to ensure skills aregeneralized across settings and addressgrade level expectations on students' levels.• Based on need, students will be identifiedas intensive or strategic and will be served insmall groups.• All intervention formats will be direct andexplicit instruction based on student needand guided by assessment data,collaboration, and anecdotal notes.The pull-out intervention format is as follows:K-1:Warm up (5-10 minutes): mental math,review, subitizingConcept Building with embeddedVocabulary Development (10-20minutes): Modeled lesson and guidedpracticeExtended Response/Application (5-15minutes): Independent or partner work

The Push-in/Co-teaching intervention formatis as follows:2-5: Tier II Intervention teachers will supportCommon Core classroom instruction throughguided math, strategy groups, mini-lessons,collaborative planning, and the use ofC-MAPP.Warm up (10 minutes): mental math andreview
