Creating a Collaborative, Data-Driven Framework for Intervention That Targets All Learners

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

In our current reality of declining resources and increased transparency in accountability, how do schools maximize the learning experience for all students? One constructive method allowing all learners to get a second dose of targeted learning and providing students who fall into the tier three category with continued reading support is by utilizing a collaborative school-wide approach. Incorporating data analysis to personalize instruction for all students has lead to measurable student growth at Canterbury Elementary. This model was initially designed and implemented to guide our instruction during intervention time. However, it has quickly evolved to the point of making a fundamental impact on how we think about working with all students in all subjects outside the intervention block. Student data including screeners, benchmarking and progress monitoring tools, is analyzed by grade level teams with support staff every six weeks. This data is used to group students for intervention based on what they need to help them become more successful readers at all levels. Furthermore, it is used to help with strategy grouping and conferencing within the Readers' Workshop. For example, last year in first grade before our first round of intervention, 17% of 1st grade students were a year or more below grade level. By the end of the year, only 3% of students fell a grade level or more below.

Teacher FeedbackTeacher FeedbackWhat was one of the biggest

challenges you faced when starting with this model?

Organizing and planning Pin-pointing specific skills

Creating resources was time consuming

Finding research/evidence based interventions

6 week interventions seemed like a long time on one skill

Teacher FeedbackTeacher FeedbackWas there anything that surprised

you along the way?

How much easier the process became as the year went on

Learned how to teach reading skills in creative and useful ways

Continuous student growth

6 weeks wasn’t really that long, some kids needed even more

time

There are great resources our there

Teacher FeedbackTeacher FeedbackHow do you feel about this model

of intervention/extension now?

Great addition to our day

Smaller group sizes for our tier 2 & 3 students allowed for greater

growth

Multi-age possibility

Can’t wait to try it with Math

Important that students are getting targeted skill instruction every day outside of Reading
