Paloma School District

The LEA will provide an interventionist to work with Tier III students and struggling populations including but not limited to low-income families, students of color, English learners, children with disabilities, students experiencing homelessness in kindergarten through 8th grade. The K-3 interventionist will receive training and utilize the evidence based program Fast ForWord and work with students on a daily basis in a pull-out model. The interventionists will not pull students during core instruction time, so all students in K-3 attending intervention services will receive additional instruction in reading on a daily basis to address learning loss. The 4th through 8th grade interventionist will receive training and utilize the evidence based program MobyMax and work with students on a daily basis in a pull-out model. The interventionist will not pull students during core instruction time, so all students in 4th- 8th attending intervention services will receive additional instruction in math on a daily basis to address learning loss.

The programs will be monitored for success via data gathered in the intervention groups, progress monitoring data, benchmarking data, and teacher feedback. If areas of concern arise, the program will be evaluated for weaknesses and possible improvement. If the weakness are due to implementation, further professional development will be provided. If weaknesses are due to programs utilized, other research based interventions will be implemented instead.
