W.I.N.

River Edge Public Schools follows the New Jersey Tiered Systems of Support (NJTSS) Model.

NJTSS is a framework of supports and interventions to improve student achievement, based on the core components of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support and the three-tier prevention logic of Response to Intervention (RTI). With a foundation of strong district and school leadership, a positive school culture and climate, and family and community engagement, NJTSS builds on Intervention and Referral Services (I&RS) and gives schools structure to meet the academic, behavioral, health, enrichment, and social/emotional needs of all students.

In River Edge, our NJTSS Model is called W.I.N., which stands for What I Need.

Under our NJTSS Model, students fall into three tiers.

Tier 1: Universal Supports & Enrichment - Students either receive reinforcement from the classroom teacher or enrichment from an enrichment teacher during their W.I.N. Period because they are either meeting or exceeding grade-level expectations in a skill area.

Tier 2: Targeted, Small Group Interventions - Students receive support from either an interventionist or classroom teacher during their W.I.N. Period. These students usually need a little more support in a certain skill to ensure they reach grade-level benchmarks by the end of the school year. 

Tier 3: Intensive Interventions - Students receive support from an interventionist or in some cases, a special education teacher during their W.I.N. Period. These students need more support in one or more skill areas to ensure they reach grade-level benchmarks by the end of the school year.
