AIS & Intervention Services | ||
New York State mandates that every public school student in grades k-8 be screened for potential reading and math deficiencies in their learning.
|
Students who are not meeting grade level expectations or who received a score of 1 or 2 on a state exam, must receive AIS support.
|
This is called supplemental instruction and it must be in addition to the student’s regular classroom instruction.
|
Who Qualifies for AIS and Intervention? | ||
K-5 Students who received an AIMS Web reading or math score below the 45th percentile.
|
Students in grades 3-8 who received a 1 or low-mid 2 on the New York State English Language Arts and/or Mathematics Exam.
|
Students who are recommended by their teacher as not meeting grade level expectations in the classroom and are at-risk for not passing state exams.
|
What do these services look like? | |
Students who did not meet grade level expectations on our reading assessments, in grades k-5 are pulled out of the classroom to receive small group reading support with a Reading Specialist every day. | We then take data on the student every 2 weeks and meet with the classroom teacher every month until the student has demonstrated significant progress. |
What happens if my child doesn't make enough progress? | |
The C.A.R.E. Team will work with the classroom teacher to find strategies or programs that might help the student. | We then take data on the student every 2 weeks and meet with the classroom teacher every month until the student has demonstrated significant progress. |
