Good News
Not So Good News
• New research/
publications
• Limited research
• Focus is shifting to
secondary
• Focus is still at the
elementary level
currently
• Creative scheduling is
being explored
• Difficult to schedule
• It can make a difference
• It takes time…in some
cases LOTS of time!
Two Approaches
Think of it
like Triage
or ICU
•Short Term

Think of
it like
Rehab
•Long Term
Interventions
Short Term Interventions
That Work
Direct, Explicit Instruction in…
– Accessing difficult, multisyllabic words
– Navigating Complex Text

– Understanding the Question
Long Term Interventions
That Work
Focused Instruction in/with…
– Active/Close Reading
– Differentiation/Grouping
– Prerequisite Skills (to access more difficult
concepts)
– Reorganization of Instruction
3. We brought in focus groups!
Focus Group Process
– Convened focus groups after EOC results in order to
determine practical and best practices for intervening
with retesters and especially multiple retesters
– Divided into Groups:
• Affective Support
• Curriculum for Interventions vs. Training for
Interventionists
• Assessment and Progress Monitoring

Action Steps
INTERVENTIONS
Intervention
• Write down your personal definition of
intervention.
• As a group, create one definition of
intervention.
So, what exactly IS intervention?
An intervention is the act of inserting one thing
between others. Usually an intervention is intended
to make things better.
Intervention comes from the Latin intervenire,
meaning "to come between, interrupt.“

RE-TEACHING
Re-Teaching: Components
• In order for re-teaching to be effective the following
must be occur:
– Assessment
• Formal or Informal
– Data Analysis
– Plan of Action
• Environment
• Strategies
– Post Assessment
Re-Teaching: Components
• When re-teaching is needed, teachers should:
– Deconstruct the standard by breaking it down into progressive
learning targets.
– Understand exactly where the student currently is on that
progression.
– Know what steps are needed next for that student to continue
toward meeting the grade level standards.
– Clearly communicate the learning targets in student-friendly
terms with the student.
– Encourage the student to set goals for themselves as they are
learning to develop self-efficacy.
RE-TEACHING: WHEN SHOULD I?
Re-Teaching: When?
• Re-teaching typically occurs in two situations:
– Introducing new content in a lesson
– Reviewing previously taught content that students
need for an upcoming lesson.
Re-Teaching: When?
• How Do I Continuously Monitor Their Levels?
– Periodically ask students to use various hand signals
to assess understanding.
• I.E. Thumbs up means they understand the new content.
Thumbs down means they don't understand. Thumbs held
horizontal means they understand some parts and are
confused regarding others.
– Questions asked should address key aspects of the
new content; an incorrect response would indicate
severe misunderstanding.
Re-Teaching
• One strategy that greatly facilitates re-teaching is to present the content in
small increments (chunking).
• A teacher presenting new content about the human skeletal system might
present a few selected characteristics and then allow students time to
process this new information by having them ask questions or summarize
what it means.
• He or she would then present a few more characteristics, and so on. After
exposing students to each small chunk of information, the teacher can ask
students to rate their confidence in their understanding or ask them
questions to verify their understanding.
• If confusion, errors, or misconceptions surface, the teacher would
immediately re-address the content. In many cases, re-teaching might
simply involve providing alternative examples or explanations.

Re-Teaching: Summary
• For re-teaching to be effective, however,
teachers must use a different approach from
the one they initially used.
• It should build on previous activities but focus
on the omissions or errors in student thinking
that resulted from these activities.
RE-ASSESSING
Re-Assessing
• After re-teaching occurs, re-assessment
opportunities should be offered for the student
to demonstrate their learning and understanding.
• Re-assessments may be different from the
original assessments to provide students different
ways to demonstrate their understanding (i.e.,
oral explanations, graphic organizers, pictures,
etc).
Re-Assessing: What Is It?
• The term formative evaluation was first used in
1967 by Michael Scriven to describe the role that
evaluation could play “in the on-going
improvement of the curriculum” (William, 2011,
p. 33).
Re-Assessing: What Is It?
• Leahy, Lyon, Thompson, & William (2005) stated that there is a need
for five key strategies:
– Clarifying, sharing, and understanding learning intentions and criteria for
success.
– Engineering effective classroom discussions, activities, and learning tasks that
elicit evidence of learning.
– Providing feedback that moves learning forward.
– Activating learners as instructional resources for one another.
– Activating learners as the owners of their own learning.
(William, 2011, p. 46)
Re-Assessing: Types of Questions?
• Types of Questions:
– Discussion
• Should lead to fruitful discussion.
• Must have at least 20 minutes for the class discussion.
– Diagnostic
• Based on the thought process that students do not know something
when they do.
• This type of questioning must be asked in a way that it is very unlikely
that the students gets the correct answer for the wrong reason.
Re-Assessing: Types of Assessments?
• Evaluative and Interpretive Listening
– When teachers listen to student responses, many focus more on the
correctness of the answers than what they can learn about the
student’s understanding.
– This type of evaluative listening was coined by Brent Davis in1997.
– This type of teacher only listen to their students’ answers to learn if
the student know what they want them to know.
– Interpretive Listening is when teachers realize how to teach
something better based on what the student is saying.

Documenting: What is
Documented?
Documenting
• What is documented?
• What is the purpose of documenting?
• What are the benefits of documentation?
• What are fidelity observations?
Documenting: What is Documented?
Documentation must describe all of the variables that led to the
ultimate solution of the problem.
Types of data should include:
• Student access to curriculum.
• Delivery of instruction
• Learning environment
• Student information
• Alignment of data with team problem solving.
Ogonsky, 2011
Documenting: What is Documented?
• Document the problems concisely and in quantifiable
terms.
• Universal screening data.
• Copies of student products and assessments
• Types of instructional adjustments being implemented
in the classroom.
• Assessment data.
Ogonsky, 2011
Documenting: What Is The Purpose of It??
• The purpose of documenting is to identify areas
of concern in a student’s education.
• Data collection, or documentation, should occur
naturally and be on-going.
• Effective documentation provides a snapshot of
the student’s educational journey from his/her
initial entry into education until high school
graduation.
Documenting: What Are The Benefits of It?
Documentation should describe:
• Targeted areas of intervention.
• The staff member performing the interventions.
• Intensity of the interventions being implemented.
• Individual assessments being used.
• Length of intervention period.
Documenting: Fidelity Observations
Documentations of fidelity should focus on four
distinct areas:
• Core Curriculum and Instruction
• Assessments
• Interventions
• Team Process
Ogonsky, 2011
Documenting: Steps for Fidelity
Intervention Implementation Form
Should Include:
• Date when student received intervention.
• Time when student received intervention.
• Strategies implemented during the intervention.
• Targeted skills of the intervention.
Ogonsky, 2011
Documenting: Steps for Fidelity
Team Process Implementation
Should Include:
• Strategies and checklists for the implementation and
documentation of the intervention process on the campus.
• Staff should be trained on how to analyze their data.
• A summative assessment of the team problem-solving
process should occur (analysis of impact).
Ogonsky, 2011
Implementation: Documentation Checklist
• Now that we have reviewed what is documented, the purpose
of documenting, the benefits of documenting and
documentation fidelity, as a group develop a documentation
checklist form.
• This form should include a checklist of every piece of
documentation that a classroom teacher would need to have if
he/she were to meet with a parent, administrator, or team for
possible referral for testing of special education services.
MONITORING
Monitoring: What Are The Benefits?
• According to the National Center on Student Progress Monitoring the
benefits of progress monitoring include:
• Increased learning, because instructional decisions are based on student
data.
• Improved information about students who are on target to meet
accountability standards.
• Increased information to improve communication about students’ progress
with family members and other professionals.
• Higher expectations for low-achieving students.
Reed, Wexler, & Vaughn, 2012, p. 22
Monitoring: Why Use It?
• To track students’ learning.
• To determine students who need further instruction or
intervention.
• To arrange grouping structures so that students have more
opportunities to learn from peers and the teacher.
• To design instruction that meets individual students’ needs.
• To identify students who need additional interventions [in
reading].
Reed, Wexler, & Vaughn, 2012, p. 22
Progress Monitoring: How Is It Done?
• Assess all students periodically on what you are teaching,
and provide additional instruction to students who are
behind level.
• Use local assessments to identify students who need extra
help and to create goals for learning.
• Once you determine which students require extra help, you
can plan appropriate instruction or identify students who
need intervention in addition to classroom learning.
• Assess progress by grade level expectation with actual
student progress.
Reed, Wexler, & Vaughn, 2012, p. 22
Progress Monitoring: Features of Effective
Instruction for Intervention Classes
• Communicate clear expectations.
• Model expectations with overt demonstrations of thoughts and
actions.
• Break the task into small steps, and provide feedback after each step.
• Gradually increase the number of steps of the length of work
completed between feedback periods.
• Offer feedback that specifically identifies what to continue and
what to change.
• Provide many opportunities for students to discuss their
developing understanding.
Reed, Wexler, & Vaughn, 2012, p. 102
Progress Monitoring: Features of Effective
Instruction for Intervention Classes
Plan for follow-up instruction.
• Teach self-monitoring and fix-up strategies.
• Supplement background knowledge
• Provide real-world applications
Reed, Wexler, & Vaughn, 2012, p. 102
Progress Monitoring: Features of Effective
Instruction for Intervention Classes
Incorporate student engagement.
• Offer some choice in materials, activities, and/or products.
Provide distributed practice.
Differentiate instruction by:
• Utilizing different groupings of students.
• Making the curriculum appropriately challenging across ability
levels.
Adjust the pacing of instruction.
Redirect off-task behavior to maximize engaged time on task.
Reed, Wexler, & Vaughn, 2012, p. 102
Progress Monitoring: Features of Effective
Instruction for Intervention Classes
Teach students the “big ideas” and/or key concepts that you want them
to learn, and provide multiple opportunities to apply them.
Provide immediate instructional feedback, with the following
characteristics:
• It is task-specific.
• It leads to self-regulated correction.
• It contains a clear and explicit indication of goals.
Build students’ motivation and engagement.
Use ongoing assessment.

Progress Monitoring: Final Thoughts
• Overall, progress monitoring assessments should
be sensitive enough to detect improvements over
short periods of time, yet quick and easy to
administer and interpret.
• Without those components, the measure are not
very practical for making instructional decisions.
Reed, Wexler, & Vaughn, 2012, p. 112

IMPLEMENT AND MONITOR
5. We developed an
Administrators’ Checklist.
Scoring the Instrument/Checklist
Score Point 0 - Not Implemented
• Indicates urgent priority
• No comments required
Scoring the Instrument/Checklist
Score Point 1 - Partially Implemented
• Indicates moderate priority
• Some teachers, some courses, some grade levels do but not all
• Requires a commendation for those who do; notes of
those who do not
• Indicates a possible need for professional
development or increased monitoring and
accountability
Scoring the Instrument/Checklist
Score Point 2 - Fully Implemented
• Indicates low to no priority for planning
• Requires notes of evidence that item is fully
implemented (For example: seen in virtually all
walk-throughs, apparent in lesson plans, part of
the system by now)
The Format
• Three checklists in one (core program, classroomembedded intervention, formalized intervention
settings) – each stage can be used independently or
together
• Research listed at the top of each section
• Some items weighted (x2)
• Room for comments
• Total score by indicator at the bottom of the each
stage

Evidence
Questions to Consider
• Who would be responsible for completing the
checklist(s)?
• Would you work with all three parts of the checklist
at the same time (to get a complete look at a school’s
intervention program), or would you work with one
part at a time?
• What would you do with the results? Who would
have access to the results?
• How could the results be used to foster change?
Fair Warning!
• Don’t try to do everything at once – prioritize!
• The results might indicate a need for…
