Step 2Assign a minimum of 5 students to each core teacher for Tier II/III support. Depending on the level of need, these students may be identified for Title 1 and/or special education services in addition to WIN.

The act of assigning students will be done during the Data Review process and/or during Team Time in collaboration with school counselors and specified specialists.

Consider “best fit” when assigning students to core teachers. Who already has a quality rapport? Who possesses the greatest expertise in the area of need.

One Size Does Not Fit AllWIN

Step 3WIN teachers collaborate with assigned students and parents individually to: (Teleconferencing and/or electronic communication with parents/guardians may suffice.)

Develop a meaningful relationshipAssess learning gaps and needsDistinguish between academic need and social-behavioral need

Establish learning goals and a learning contractDetermine a schedule for interventions

Scheduling WIN

Step 4When Designing WIN Schedules Consider:• Frequency necessary to see gains/ Minutes matter• Is a double dose appropriate?– If so, which course is best to eliminate?

• Is exploratory pull-out appropriate? • Consider alternative schedule to meet individual

needs. When possible plan schedule in June for next year.

Communicating WIN

Step 5• Use the Google Drive templates to document and store your learning plans

and intervention schedules. Google Drive Templates = Needs Assessment, Student ProfileWe will continue to customize to be more user friendly and accessible.

• Complete schedule change forms (available in Google Drive) to indicate potential changes to a student’s schedule.

• Provide copies of the learning contracts and schedules for parents/guardians/students.

• Share information with exploratory staff via email, voicemail, or other communication tool.

• Each Core teacher is ultimately responsible for the communication necessary for each student identified and assigned to his/her WIN intervention time.

assessment(Some pre-assessments already exist. Consult with math and literacy teachers.)• Needs Assessment Tools exist in the RtI Handbook.• Provide instruction and practice learning activities.(Consult with specialists and/or math and literacy teachers for instructional ideas when necessary.)• Assess again• Repeat………..
