Systemic and Strategic Use of Intervention

Why is This a Priority:

​Equitable schools prioritize systemic and strategic use of intervention for any student who may need extra support or enrichment. When students struggle to learn or are not appropriately challenged, it can cause changes in behavior, engagement, and confidence. Having a systemic and strategic system of intervention in place to assess and address the individual needs of students will ensure that they have the support and opportunities they need to access instruction equitably.

• Collaboration between district and school leadership to audit and assess intervention systems will be conducted in the 22-23 school year

• Collection of feedback from family and student on processes utilized during intervention meetings and overall satisfaction of student learning progress based on interventions will be implemented in 22-23 school year

Implement and evaluate evidence-based, targeted and intensive interventions

Progress Update:

• Universal K-12 individual student learning plan template developed and includes Advanced Learning Plans for gifted students, attendance plans, READ plans for early literacy, etc.)
