of Literacy Interventions at
Michael Collins School
Priscilla Piecyk- 5/6 teacher
Erin Tosch – Literacy Coach
Purpose of Interventions
• 45 minute block on each grade level team’s master
schedule where:
– All NEW INSTRUCTION stops.
– Students are regrouped by need across the grade
level team.
– Student Support Teams (special services teachers,
literacy coach, bilingual resource teacher, reading
instructional assistant, gifted resource teacher) “flood”
the grade level team with support.
– Students below 40th%ile (Tier 2 and Tier 3) on MAPMeasure of Academic Progress- are grouped in
intervention small group settings that never exceed
the 1 to 8 ratio
– Proficient students receive enrichment and extension
instruction in a whole-class setting.

Master Schedule
Our master schedule is designed in a way
that provides teams with:
– Common blocks of instruction time for
interventions (parallel block)
– Common planning time with intervention
teams or grade level teams
– Uninterrupted blocks of core instruction in
literacy (shared and guided reading, and
writing) and math

WHAT
•Structure of Common Planning
Time
What does
Common Plan Time
look like?
Group students based
on MAP data
Who is in need of intervention
and who is in need of
enrichment?
Divide
support staff
for effective instruction
Who will deliver the
instruction?
Plan for instruction
based on data from
Common Assessment
Create a
Common Assessment
Discuss and determine
exactly what ALL students need to learn
What interventions do our students
need to attain proficiency?
What enrichment activities will further
develop the skills of our proficient students?

Guiding Questions for Instruction
(Intervention Team Checklist)
Does Your Intervention…
• Meet the needs of all students?
• Group students appropriately based upon MAP data?
• Utilize support staff effectively to best meet the needs of the students in the group?
• Follow guidelines for Tiered students?
• Follow a balanced literacy model, having students engaged in all the components:
guided, shared and independent reading and writing as well as vocabulary and word

Why is it all worth it?
• “Sometimes in the big group I can’t
concentrate. I hear papers rustling and all
that stuff. I wish this could be my
classroom.” (In response to working in a small
group)
• “Do you remember last year? I was all
mushy. Then you met with me in the
mornings and straightened me out.” (In
response to working together and building a relationship)
• “Wow! That is a lot of checks. I didn’t use
to get all those checks.” (In response to a
running record, where checks mean he is reading the
words correctly)
