Response to InterventionOur programs are used both at Tier 1 to supplement
the core instructional mathematics curriculum and Tier 2 with follow-up Skill Builders.
Using the programs ensure that more students are able to meet grade level norms without additional assistance because of the comprehensive, systematic review of essential basic skills and concepts.
The weekly tracking provides frequent progress monitoring, thus identifying which students need additional instruction and review. This review is done with the Skill Builders.
