MAP Data
When considering students for Tier 2 instruction, MAP data is one data point to consider. Students scoring in the 40%ile and below are flagged for possible Tier 2 intervention. Other data points to consider are classroom assignments, assessments and performance. You can always discuss possible students with me, Lisa, Caitlin, Kelly, Catherine or Alyssa. We are here to help!
Intervention
Tier 2 intervention is to begin the week of Sept. 10th. This means that all students receiving Tier 2 intervention must have a completed intervention plan by Friday, Sept.7th. See Caitlin and Lisa for this form. I will create a folder on the Google Drive for you to put the plan. The plan also needs to be printed out and placed in the student's blue intervention folder. If you have identified additional students needing Tier 2 intervention based on classroom performance and MAP scores, they will need a plan and a folder. If you need more folders, please let me know.
After School Activities, Clubs and Sports
Clubs, after school activities and sports are great motivators for our students. Please remind them that in order to participate in these opportunities, they must have passing grades and have good behavior.
