What might be done to provide academic student intervention services for the students whose scores fall below the State-designated reference level?
Analysis of an individual student’s paper will indicate those areas where that student needs to be provided additional learning experiences. For an individual student who needs academic intervention services (AIS), the problem area that needs to be addressed might not be additional science, but might be additional help in applying mathematics or reading in the content area, possibly using a co-teaching model of the science teacher with the mathematics or reading teacher. The assistance could also be provided as individual help, or with small groups of students who have similar instructional needs, in a learning lab, or as more intense instruction or additional time as part of the student’s scheduled classes. The AIS’s style, duration, and intensity are local decisions based upon the student’s performance on the State test and ongoing monitoring of the student’s progress.
