Tier 3: Intensive Remediation
Tier 3 is where we work with identified students (based on instructional and assessment data) to target very specific academic goals in order to help students access instruction and learning at grade level. By identifying lagging skills in mathematics and literacy we work with students on no more than three very specific goals for an intervention cycle. Intervention cycles generally run around three to four weeks. During that time interventionists monitor students progressions on any of those targeted skills. At the end of the cycle a student may exit intervention, return during the next cycle with new or the same goals, or need a formal EST discussion as next steps.
At the beginning of each intervention cycle our interventionists contact families and let them know that their student has been identified to be learning partners with them for the next several weeks. Interventionists also share the students goals and make sure to reconnect often to answer questions, share progress monitoring, and share results at the end of the cycle. We encourage families to connect with our interventionists (details below) anytime with questions and ideas. Our goals are to provide intensive, targeted remediation to students so they can better access Tier 1 and 2 learning. We’re also here to help support students that may need longer-term supports and learning.

MRPS Universal Skills Documents - These documents outline the skills scholars should have HEADING INTO each grade level. Interventionists, educators, and families can use these developmentally ordered lists to identified targeted skill progressions as well as consider grade level readiness in mathematics and literacy.
