In 2018, River Edge Public Schools adopted a new learning model: “What I Need” (W.I.N.) This model follows the New Jersey Tiered Systems of Support (NJTSS). In this learning model:

• Each class’s schedule includes a designated support period called W.I.N.

• W.I.N. is for all students. Classroom Teachers, Interventionists, and Enrichment Teachers work collaboratively to provide targeted instruction on specific skills during the W.I.N. Period

• There are several Periods of W.I.N. throughout the year

  • Each Period focuses on a skill for approximately four to six weeks

  • Students work with several teachers throughout the year to ensure their academic needs are met

  • Groups are flexible. For example, a student might work with an Interventionist for one, four to six week period, but then work with a classroom teacher for the next period. This is entirely based upon data and teacher recommendation.

• Students who work with an Interventionist or Enrichment teacher receive a letter on the Genesis Parent Portal.

• Students who work with our Interventionists will receive a Progress Check by the end of the W.I.N. Period. This is posted on the Genesis Parent Portal.

For more information about W.I.N., including a FAQ document, Staff Directory, Criteria, Sample of Parent Letters, and more, please visit our W.I.N. Website at the link below.
