Elementary Enrichment and Intervention

Barrington Public Schools January 2014

Quality Classroom Instruction for Every Child

robust, standards-aligned curricula

• evidenced-based instructional practices

• universal screening of basic academic skills

• grade level teaming to analyze data, set targets for

improvement, adjust instruction and make

intervention/enrichment decisions

Differentiation is Responsive Teaching

“Teachers proactively plan varied approaches to what

students need to learn, how they will learn it, and/or how

they will show what they have learned in order to

increase the likelihood that each student will learn as

much as he or she can, as efficiently as possible.”

(Tomlinson, 2003)

DI Across the District Student Learning Differences Teachers use assessment information to gain clear

understanding of instructional level of each student

Instructional Groupings Flexible grouping and regrouping according to

instructional needs

Materials/Resources multiple levels and varied text, digital resources,

concrete materials, etc.

Learning Assignments Teachers differentiate learning experiences based on

where students are in their learning to increase

motivation and maximize success

Assessment Teaching teams use both formative and summative

assessment to guide instruction to meet the varied

levels of all students in the class

Differentiation at the Classroom Level

HMS Students Say...“Having the extra help means a lot to me because it

makes me a better reader. It makes me want to read harder books to challenge myself. It also makes me more fluent.”

“It helped me understand words and I can read without getting stuck on words.

I am sort of ready to read harder

books.”

HMS Teachers Say● “The RTI Team has been an effective way to problem solve student needs

through an independent viewpoint.” Gr. 5 Teacher

● “Response to Intervention at HMS can be compared to a moving target. When children are identified as having a gap, they are frequently reviewed with progress monitoring data and teachers diagnose the best resources to meet the foundational gap. Then that’s when it becomes a moving target. The child is continuously monitored and the data continues to move. Action is taken to meet the needs of the child academically or behaviorally. It is always with our greatest hope that the data shows the target moving toward the positive. If not, the tighter the reigns get so we can meet the needs of the child.” Gr. 4 Teacher

HMS Parents Say...

“I think every child has their own unique ‘tools’ within them that helps them learn and grow. For some, those tools are hidden and hard to find. Her teacher has helped her find her tools and is teaching her how to use them to become the best she can be! What more could a parent ask for? When a child is happy and confident, they surely are in the best position to achieve success!”

Having the opportunity to get support means so much to us and means our daughter will have greater success in her school work all the way around.”
