SCENARIO$$4. DESIRED$FUTURE$

What is our menu/continuum of support?

Our building has determined intensive (tier 3) interventions in place for reading. We have an organized list. All teachers know which interventions to choose from around each area of skill.

We do not have menu for mathematics. Each teacher picks and chooses based on own expertise and knowledge.

Coordinated system of response to support learners

Coordinated continuum of supports is the first critical step in creating a system that responds quickly and effectively

Collaborative team with expertise

Resource mapping, or laying out on a grid all of the interventions

We want a predetermined menu of interventions for mathematics for varying intensity of student need, matched to our diverse learners.

All teachers are aware of which mathematics interventions are aligned to which skill area of need so students efficiently get access to the high quality supports.
