Current Elementary Support Model 2013-14
Reading Support• 1 Literacy Specialist / Interventionist• 1 Reading Para• 1 Reading Intern
Math Support• 1 Math Specialist / TAG Teacher• 1 Math Intern
11
Concerns with Current Model
• Difficult for 1 person to be the interventionist, oversee Para and intern and provide coaching to teachers
• Interns change every year requiring a lot of support annually
• Para and Interns need to be overseen by certified teacher
12
Proposed Elementary Support Model 2014-15
Reading Support• 1 Literacy Specialist (Teacher)• 1 Literacy Support Teacher• 1 Reading Intern
Math Support• 1 Math Specialist / TAG Teacher• 1 Math Para
13
Expected Benefits of New Model
• 1 certified teacher dedicated to coaching teachers
• Addition of certified support teacher with sole focus on servicing intervention students
• Replacing Math Intern with Math Para for more stability and stronger skill set
14
Special Education Increase
Currently: Our Special Education Director conducts all out of district PPT’s in addition to running the Special Services Department.Concerns:Between Magnet Schools, Charter Schools, Vo-Tech Schools, Public and Private Special Education placements there are 29 facilities which require a Waterford Special Education LEA representative to attend and agree with the billable hours of service being provided.Proposal:• 0.5 FTE Special Education teacher to conduct out-of-
district PPTs.
