A4.01

The school implements a tiered instructional system that allows teachers to deliver evidence-based instruction aligned with the individual needs of students across all tiers (5117)

A4.01Tiered SupportA4.01 Patterson

As a school, we are working on ways to strengthen our CORE instruction through whole group and small group.

Identified staff is participating in PD in the identified standard treatment protocol interventions and progress monitoring.

Current hybrid schedule finalized- CORE times for whole group and small group established. Blocks of time where identified students can receive supplemental or intensive interventions have been established.

Current schedules established for TAs /MCLs/Classroom teachers which now enables us to determine when or if they may be available to provide supplemental or intensive interventions (academic and/or behavior).

SSS team meets weekly to review all the children brought up for behavioral, social, and emotional needs/concerns; students are assigned by case manager who works with teacher to establish what types of interventions need to take place and if they are working.

We will be putting in place a 5 week review for students who are receiving interventions to determine if progress is being made.
