As a certified interventionist, my job is to organize and oversee intervention for students who need additional academic support beyond core classroom instruction.
Our intervention team assesses, progress monitors, reports, and communicates student performance and progress while providing explicit, systematic and cumulative instruction to individuals and small groups of students. Once students have met their targeted goals, they confidently transition back to full-time classroom instruction.
Our Mission: Early identification. Targeted support. Data-driven growth. (Driven with data, delivered with love.)
My teaching experience includes kindergarten, second grade, third grade, fourth grade, sixth grade, English literacy for bilingual kindergarten, high dosage tutoring K-5, and assessment/intervention.
