creating a collaborative, data-driven framework for intervention that targets all learners
DESCRIPTION
In our current reality of declining resources and increased transparency in accountability, how do schools maximize the learning experience for all students? One constructive method allowing all learners to get a second dose of targeted learning and providing students who fall into the tier three category with continued reading support is by utilizing a collaborative school-wide approach. Incorporating data analysis to personalize instruction for all students has lead to measurable student growth at Canterbury Elementary. This model was initially designed and implemented to guide our instruction during intervention time. However, it has quickly evolved to the point of making a fundamental impact on how we think about working with all students in all subjects outside the intervention block. Student data including screeners, benchmarking and progress monitoring tools, is analyzed by grade level teams with support staff every six weeks. This data is used to group students for intervention based on what they need to help them become more successful readers at all levels. Furthermore, it is used to help with strategy grouping and conferencing within the Readers' Workshop. For example, last year in first grade before our first round of intervention, 17% of 1st grade students were a year or more below grade level. By the end of the year, only 3% of students fell a grade level or more below.TRANSCRIPT

Teacher FeedbackTeacher FeedbackWhat was one of the biggest
challenges you faced when starting with this model?
Organizing and planning Pin-pointing specific skills
Creating resources was time consuming
Finding research/evidence based interventions
6 week interventions seemed like a long time on one skill
Teacher FeedbackTeacher FeedbackWas there anything that surprised
you along the way?
How much easier the process became as the year went on
Learned how to teach reading skills in creative and useful ways
Continuous student growth
6 weeks wasn’t really that long, some kids needed even more
time
There are great resources our there
Teacher FeedbackTeacher FeedbackHow do you feel about this model
of intervention/extension now?
Great addition to our day
Smaller group sizes for our tier 2 & 3 students allowed for greater
growth
Multi-age possibility
Can’t wait to try it with Math
Important that students are getting targeted skill instruction every day outside of Reading
