Five Steps to Developing a Proactive Intervention Plan
Identify mastery thresholds
Establish red flags
Develop formative assessments
Select appropriate interventions
Monitor your planSlide3
Case StudyRead the following case study.Assuming that Principal
Mathers
has no additional resources to hire after-school tutors, how can he best address this problem. Slide4
Here’s HowRead how Principal Mathers and his school are confronting the question.
Discuss how this aligns with your decision to deal with the issue.Slide5
What is Effective Support?Effective Support is….
Ongoing
Proactive
Targeted
Accelerative
Learning-focused
Monitored
Managed by a teacher as advocate
Effective Support is Not..
As Needed
Reactive
Generalized
Remedial
Behavior-focused
Random
Imposed by a teacher as adversarySlide6
Rules for InterventionsInterventions should be seamless and unobtrusive.
Interventions should be designed to get students quickly back on track.
Interventions should be systematic
.Slide7
Rules continuedInterventions should be temporary.Interventions should be minimal.
Interventions should be specific.
Interventions should not be labor intensiveSlide8
Monitor and Gradually Remove Your SupportsUse formative assessments to determine whether supports are working.
Decrease the amount of support you provide for students over time.
Increase the number of steps students must complete on their own.
Decrease the frequency of Support.Slide9
Instructional Intervention Strategies Handouts on Duplin Website
Go to Departments next to
RttT
next to Common Core Day February 18thThe packet contains suggested interventions teachers can use to support struggling students.
The key
is determining when a student is beginning to go into a destructive struggle and to have an intervention plan in place to provide them with immediate support.Slide10
Planning InterventionsInterventions should be a part of the lesson planning process.Assess what you are teaching and decide what corrective actions will help get my students back on track.
Be proactive and have these ready to implement the minute a student starts a
destructive struggle.Slide11
Supporting Students After InstructionSlide12
Why do students continue to struggle?
Work in groups of four to develop and categorize a list of possible reasons for the following:
Even after you have supported students prior to the lesson, provided them with targeted intervention during the lesson, you still have a handful of students who do not understand the concepts or still cannot demonstrate mastery of the required skills. Slide13
Categorize your list
Academic
use remediation alone
Remediation and behavior managementSlide14
What is Remediation?Acceleration was offered before students started the unit of study.Intervention was offered during the instruction.
Remediation is an opportunity to provide additional support to those students who still do not understand key concepts in spite of attempts to support them.Slide15
Who do You Remediate?Constantly analyze formative data to determine students with deficits in their learning.Determine all students close to mastery.
Determine students who need intensive remediation.
Students who struggle with context(test structure) rather than content.Slide16
Error AnalysisHave student review first assessments to analyze errors.Determine and present probable causes of error.
Determine how to prevent this error in the future.
Students should present an error analysis before they can retest.Slide17
ReteachTeach concepts the students don’t understand a different way.
Focus on only the key concepts and skills students need to know.
Re-teaching should occur shortly after a students’ assessment shows they did not understand much of the material.
Teaching should be different than regular instruction.
Should not create additional work for students.Slide18
TutoringCan use teacher or peer tutoring or both.
Should help students develop specific skills.
Should target the learning task with which they are struggling.
Should be temporary.Electronic or on-line tutorials can be used.Slide19
Additional PracticeNot drill and kill!Practice should focus on helping students develop fluency and proficiency.
Practice should be distributed over a period of time. Use several sessions.
Should be meaningful
Should be shortShould have built in feedback.Slide20
Organization and Study HabitsIf poor performance is due to poor learning habits, the remediation may need to focus on this.
Work on learning strategies
Work on organization of notebooks, note-taking strategies.
Teach them how to use graphic organizers.Allow them to retake the assessment after they have applied these new strategies.Slide21
Alternative Instructional StrategiesMatch students best learning style.
Hands-on verses lecture.
Working with a partner or small group.
Breaking information down into small learning targets and teaching small chunks at a time.Remediation is not simply going over the material more slowly. Its teaching concepts a different way.Slide22
ReassessingAfter providing the corrective action.Reassess to improve learning not grades.
Reassess only when it helps students learn information they need to move on.
Reassess in a new or different format, as applicable.
Reassess as close to the original assessment as possible.
