What is GEI?

General Education Intervention (GEI) is a schoolwide approach of providing multi-tiered levels of intervention to support each student's achievement.   When we refer to GEI, we mean the umbrella of the entire support process.  It is not a "yellow packet," the sole responsibility of the SIT team, a student improvement plan, the sole responsibility of an IEP team, an IEP referral or an IEP. 

What is an Instructional package?

An instructional package for a student includes all of the following components: 

• Skills targeted

• Instructional strategies

• Dosage (days of the week, length of time)

• Group size

• Motivation

• Student attendance

• Teacher attendance

• Intervention

• Interventionist training on the intervention 

• Progress monitoring (measure, frequency, integrity, total number of data points)

• Intervention integrity (observations conducted)

• Team-based data reviews (compare data of students receiving same instructional package)
