Question 5: What are some commonly
used schedules that allow for Tier-one and Tier-two interventions in
traditionally scheduled high schools? In schools using block scheduling?
|
Scheduling time for Tier-one and Tier- two interventions can be
challenging at the high school level. However, we do know that schools are
trying to be as creative as possible in terms of dealing with time to
accommodate support for struggling students. Some schools have scheduled a
second content area class, and are also using before and after school
opportunities.
The RTI (Response to Intervention) Action Network has a discussion
on this topic where people are posting their schedules and trying to figure out
how to be more creative with time. You can find that discussion
here.
Also, useful information about intervention designs can also be helpful for
scheduling. A similar question was previously answered, it can be viewed
here.
