District Academic Intervention Services
Academic intervention services are additional instructional services that are provided to selected students in order to help them achieve the learning standards in English Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and/or Science. CCSD staff members have always supported students' efforts to achieve high standards and to be successful in all academic areas. Through a specific intervention plan designed for each qualifying student, the district's staff plans to support all students' efforts to be successful in meeting state and school district mandates in specific subject areas. Certain criteria will be used to identify the students who are in need of academic intervention services such as:
- Scoring below the state reference point on required checkpoints and/or assessments
- Scoring two or more grade levels below his/her current grade level on the district required achievement tests
- Failing two or more required academic subjects on progress report and/or report card
- Is recommended by one or more of his/her academic teachers and/or his/her guidance counselor
After a student is referred for possible academic intervention services, the building administrator, teacher, and/or guidance counselor review the referral to determine the student's eligibility for services. If needed, an academic intervention plan including specific intervention suggestions is developed. The following recommendations may be included as part of an intervention plan:
| Elementary Level | Middle School Level | High School Level |
- Reading Recovery
- After School Assistance
- Speech/Language Development
- Use of Remedial Staff
- Summer School
- Accelerated Reader Program
| - Mandatory Tenth Period with Specific Academic Teacher(s)
- Use of Remedial Staff
- Restricted Study Hall and/or
- Academic Study Group
- Secondary Summer School
| - Mandatory Fifth Block with Specific Academic Teacher(s)
- Use of Remedial Staff
- Assigned AIS Period
- Academic/Social Counseling by Guidance Personnel
- Secondary Summer School
|
Parents and/or guardians of identified students will be notified in writing regarding the proposed academic intervention services plan that has been developed for their child. Intervention strategies for each student will be implemented after the plan has been developed and the parent(s) have been notified. Academic intervention will occur during the school year and/or during summer school. The effectiveness of the academic intervention plan will be reviewed periodically by the referring teacher(s), the appropriate counselor, and the building administrator. Any student who no longer qualifies for academic intervention services based on his/her academic progress and/or results from appropriate assessments may be released from the plan after appropriate review. Parents will be notified in writing of the change. Parents should contact the classroom teacher, the building administrator, and/or the student's assigned guidance counselor with any questions.
