What does intervention look like?

"Accommodations without remediation is like putting a band aid on a bruise." (DeJunne' Jackson, Amplify Virtual Symposium 2021, The Science of Reading: Matters of Equity presentation)
The Matthew Effect - the longer we WAIT the WIDER the achievement gap becomes
- As time passes, good readers become great readers, while poor readers continue to struggle

The late Margaret Byrd Rawson, a pioneer for equity in education, once said (about access to an education that best serves all learning styles and individual needs), "The differences are personal. The diagnosis is clinical. The treatment is educational. The understanding is scientific." (Quote courtesy of MBRI website)

Equity represents the provision of supports that are matched to student need, so that all individuals can attain equally successful outcomes.
