Response to Intervention (RTI) is an approach to academic intervention that provides early, systematic, and appropriately intensive assistance to students who are "at risk" or are already underperforming in their current grade level standards. RTI seeks to promote academic success through universal screening, early intervention, frequent progress monitoring, and through the use of research-based instruction and/or interventions.
The Hoover Math department uses i-Ready scores, classroom data, and teacher recommendation to identify students that are in need of intervention.
This year, Hoover is offering an intervention class for students who have been identified as "tier 3" which means they are performing 3 or more grade levels below their current enrolled grade. My class, as well as in the intervention class, uses the IXL program to help students who are not at grade level close the gaps in their knowledge. I encourage all students to complete lessons outside of class and practice their skills.
