Is this Special Education?
No, Title I and Reading Intervention are for students that have scored below benchmark on a universal screening assessment. Special Education students have IEPs (Individualized Education Plans). What makes them similar is that each student is getting what they need.

Students enter the an intervention program when they have scored below benchmark on our universal screening assessments. These assessments takes place 3 times each year in the areas of math and reading. For more information see our entrance criteria for Title 1 and ADSIS.
How long will they be in the program?
Students remain in intervention until they meet exit criteria. To exit, students need to demonstrate their ability to meet the next seasonal benchmark. For more information see our exit criteria page.
What are they missing in class when pulled for intervention time?
Most students receive their intervention services during WIN (What I Need) time. This is a 25 minute scheduled block of time where all students are working on what they need individually. Students are not missing core curriculum or whole group instruction.
What is my child doing during intervention time?
