Mathematics Intervention Audit

A deep analysis of current intervention practices at our school, and a plan for potential next steps based on a study of current research around best practices for students that need extra support. 

This school wide intervention audit showcased both the strengths of our current system, but also helped me consider potential next steps for improving our instructional plans based on research. By reading the research, and analyzing the current reality in our school, I had new ideas about how to present and sequence the content to best reach all students, especially those with whom we hope to accelerate learning (II.c.iii). Specifically in this project, I planned two new potential shifts for our intervention, and made specific goals for how to implement them. I am looking forward to collaborating with other teachers to work on these shifts in our intervention instruction and analyzing the outcomes (III.v.e, III.v.i). 

Mathematics Specialist Standards 

II.c.iii: Understand the importance of careful sequencing and development of mathematical ideas, concepts, and skills in the preK–middle/middle to high school grades curriculum; be able to engage in discussions and decision-making to establish appropriate benchmarks for learning goals.

III.v.e: partner with school-based professionals to improve each student’s achievement;

III.vi.: Select from a repertoire of methods to communicate professionally about students, curriculum, instruction, and assessment to educational constituents—parents and other caregivers, school administrators, and school boards.
