Quick Start Guidance:

Go to the Introduction to learn how to teach SIPPS.

Read the summary of the Beginning, Extension, Plus and Challenge level.
Read the Distinctive Features including: content, instruction and materials.
Read Daily Lesson Components starting.

Read our Beginning-of-the-Year Blogs:

Go to Appendix A Routines, start practicing the routines:

Read the routine
Watch the teaching-facing video
Watch the animation
Try it out

Prepare for assessment and placement of students.

Read Appendix: SIPPS Placement and Assessment
Determine which students will be given the placement assessment
Determine when - we recommend waiting 3-4 weeks into the school year.
Give the placement assessment.
Use the data and information provided within the placement assessment to group for instruction.

Start teaching SIPPS.

Start instruction!
Consider pacing - lessons are approximately 30 min long.
Consider choral responses - students should be responding chorally.
Consider the application to text - students should be able to access the texts associated with the lessons based on the learning.
For additional support, use the guidance in Appendix E: Guidance for Supporting Students Who Struggle in SIPPS of the RTI/MTSS Guidance 2019

FCRR (Tier 2 or 3)

FCRR interventions are aligned to the NWEA MAP Reading Fluency Assessment within the MRF Platform and a hard copy of the interventions are available in the IST classroom on every campus for shared use.

Using the skills focused upon in MAP Skills Checklist, you can link the FCRR digital interventions easily for school or distance learning here.

MAP RIT to MATH Remediation WORK IN PROGRESS

Do The Math - K-4 (5/6 also has access to some of these materials)

Math is about more than finding the correct answer. It’s about using numerical reasoning to find the best strategy for solving a problem.

Created by Marilyn Burns, one of America’s most trusted math educators, Do The Math® provides flexible, classroom-tested instruction for building numerical reasoning and restoring confidence. We start where the math stopped making sense and give teachers hands-on strategies to build their understanding and confidence.

Need access to all the materials available on your DTM CDs? We have the materials downloaded into a google folder link below that should only be accessed by those that have access to the program.

TEMI/Tier 3 Math Model Interventions from The Meadows Center at UT Austin

Every K-4 Math IST in Keller has 3 hard copy binders of TEMI (Texas Early Math Inventory)-aligned interventions.

Digital versions are available below! The digital versions are helpful, especially, in the case of school closures due to COVID-19.

While the TEMI "inventory" (assessment) is not required (due to data we receive from NWEA MAP (our universal screening tool for math and reading), the TEMI-aligned interventions are explicit, evidence-based, and easily align with students' NWEA MAP RIT scores and math strands described within the Learning Continuum report!

See the Google folders below (they are found within your MTSS Shared Google Drive (Academic interventions>Math>0-6 interventions. TEMI) to access literally thousands of pages of math interventions to administer to students requiring remediation due to performing 2+ years below (on a K-2 level).

These interventions also come in a bilingual Spanish version, and are similarly easy to access and administer.
