Targeted Intervention - Rotational IDSDaniel RobisonMichelle Nelson-ArcherJennifer SlaterSartartia Middle School

Data & Reasoning Students who failed one TAKS/STAAR test were

more likely to have failed two. Students that were recommended by one content

teacher for intervention were more likely to be recommended by multiple teachers.

Student schedules could not accommodate multiple intervention classes (replaces only one elective).

ELL students who exited the program (monitor phase) were likely to need intervention in multiple content areas.

SCIENCE did not have an intervention level class.

Selection of Students Previous years STAAR scores 3 year ELL “monitor” level students Teacher recommendation Tier 2 students

The Initial Plan 3 content areas: ELA, Science, Math Class size of 15 or less Student and parent(s) must approve

admittance into class (replaces an elective) Rotate through each content area on 3day

schedule Shared gradebooks and attendance Intervention level class supports content

area teaching

The Reality District restructuring removed ELA teaching

position Math-Science rotation, 2 day schedule Increased class size, but not more than 22 Fridays were Review/Reteach/Study (1/2 time

in each classroom) Computer lab component Grades and attendance – not so easy… Students could EXIT at semester if they

showed significant improvement in content areas
