Literacy K-8

Interventions (Elementary School)

For Math and Literacy, at the elementary level, we have a Tier, 1, 2, and 3 system. Tier 1 students receive their math and literacy instruction from their classroom teacher. We monitor this frequently and adjust student tiers to best serve the individual student. Students requiring additional interventions in math or literacy will be assigned to Tiers 2 or 3. Tier 2 students are assisted in a small group instruction environment by Literacy or Math Specialist. Tier 3 is for students needing intensive support, and the instruction with a Literacy or Math Specialist is a 1:1 basis (group size may be vary due to student schedules and staffing). Students in Tiers 2 and 3 will receive interventions that seek to advance skills and knowledge in specific areas. These areas are identified using research based assessments, teacher input, and state standardized tests (MCAs). The specialists then crafts lessons to improve student proficiency in literacy or math skills and state standards.
