Intervention+Guide

=Option #6 –Intervention Guide or Trouble-Shooting Guide (Note: This counts as 2 projects)= Develop an intervention guide or trouble-shooting guide for any applicable area with which you work. Possible areas include: math, the big 5 ideas in reading, writing, etc. This guide should include possible interventions or strategies that can be used with specific areas that students struggle. Use whatever tool you’re comfortable with when putting together your guide.

You may choose to type it in a Word document and just print out the guide. See sample attachments below. Others have used a flip book format such as the one used with Bloom’s Taxonomy Critical Thinking book at http://www.amazon.com/Edupress-Quick-Flip-Critical-Thinking/dp/B001AZ6LFW/ref=pd_sim_sbs_vg_2. Or, you may choose to use another digital tool such as Live Binders or Wikispaces to organize your content so you can constantly update it. Make sure to post your information regarding your intervention guide under __YOUR NAME__ on this page so I can identify your materials

Sutton Public Schools Intervention Guide by Robin Griess [|Sutton Intervention Guide.docx] This document is just the start as I am fairly new to this position and have interventions that our district has, but I am not fully aware of or trained in. Creating the guide to this point as made me look deeper into the interventions that I use on a regular basis and am trained in. I look forward to completing this guide with all intervention as it will not only serve myself better for understanding more fully the resources at hand, but it will allow me to better serve the students I teach and the teachers I assist.

Feedback from April Kelley... Robin - Nice job on the Intervention Guide! What a great start to your RTI plan! Having this information in writing will allow you to refer to it when needed and allow the district to sustain a well-articulated RTI plan. I really liked the flow chart and might challenge you to consider making additional flowcharts as you map out the rest of your RTI plan for Sutton. They're easy to read and will help others understand your plan in the future. I also think having a description of each program is valuable information as well as ideas on how to diagnose the problem deficiency. For example, if the student has multiple word identification errors, then it's more than likely a decoding issue. This information will be extremely helpful in your data meetings as you diagnose the problem and then plan the appropriate intervention. When you identify the problem, you'll be able to record that in your "area of concern" column on your google spreadsheet. Again, this document is a great start to creating your school-wide RTI plan. Job well done! (Credit for this project = 20/20 points)
