WELCOME BACK
One area we continue to grow professionally as a school is in the area of RTI/Intervention. Alyssa and Catherine will be providing professional development at Monday's faculty meeting surrounding RTI and some changes Westside will be going through to improve our overall instruction.
Intervention Schedules
TKES
80% of the class will master the grade level (reading/math)essential standards at 70% or higher.
Special education teachers can base their goals on their students' IEP goals or their growth on MAP. Specials teachers, please be thinking of a goal which focuses on student growth in your area and how it will be assessed.
