20% Meeting Group Agenda

Planning for Some Students (20% Meetings)

Purpose of meeting: To determine which students are in need of interventions, decide what intervention best fits each student’s needs, coordinate the students’ reading program, determine the effectiveness of current interventions, and make decisions about whether to continue, discontinue, or change an intervention.

Team members: Principal, Classroom teacher, Title I teacher, Resource Room teacher, ELD teacher, speech and language pathologists, and counselors

Each grade level data team convenes at least every six weeks to evaluate the progress of the lowest 20% of students at each grade level who are involved in interventions, including those students who receive services through Special Education.These teams choose interventions from the appropriate list of approved interventions for groups of students with similar needs. They also decide on what progress monitoring data to collect and the person responsible for collecting the data. Students in intervention groups are progress monitored as defined on the appropriate protocol using grade level assessments. If a student’s skill level is well below grade level, then the team may choose to progress monitor the student at his or her instructional level as well as at grade level; only grade level norms should be used in making high-stakes decisions.

The team reviews progress-monitoring data for each student, analyzing aimlines and trendlines. Using the decision rules, one of four different decisions may be made at this meeting for each student being reviewed:

1) The intervention has been successful and the student no longer needs small group instruction,

2) The intervention is working for the student and should continue with monitoring,

3) The intervention is not working for the student and should be revised or refined based on the ICEL framework; or,

4) The student has not made adequate progress during two intervention cycles taught with fidelity and appropriate intensity and therefore the team will proceed to schedule an SAT and plan an individualized, intensified Intervention described below. It is important to compare student’s level to district norms before moving to SAT.
