INTERVENTION PROTOCOL

What is your district's formal process for implementing intervention?

Why is it important to have a protocol for implementing math intervention? There are two overarching goals to focus on with intervention:

1) Meet students where they are at.

2) Work towards closing the gap.

A protocol defines our process for meeting these two goals. A universal screener will identify students that are at-risk for having math difficulties; however, you must have specific steps that follow screening. How will you determine the instructional level and focus for each student? And how will you support each student in progressing towards their grade level benchmark? What resources will you use? How much time each day will be dedicated to math intervention? Who will provide math intervention? How will you track students progress in order to ensure that the intervention is effective? All of these questions will be addressed in your protocol. Below are some examples of protocols that you may use.

How to Design and Deliver Effective Math Intervention

Presented by Sarah Powell, PhD, University of Texas at Austin

In this webinar, Dr. Sarah Powell focuses on five essential components of math intervention. She reviews and provides examples of ways to boost your delivery of math instruction by using explicit instruction, clear and concise language, and multiple representatives, and then goes onto describe the importance of providing daily fluency practice and word-problem instruction. By the end of the webinar, you'll have the knowledge to design an intervention protocol that delivers effective math instruction. Click here to access the full webinar.
