"Bubble Students" Intervention Update


After reviewing my plan with my site supervisor and reading your thoughtful comments on my ARP, I found an area in which I would like to update.  I realize that I am conducting this research throughout the year and it consists of me working with the 1st grade "Bubble Students".  Since this is so, I am breaking my timeline to adjust to my district's DRA schedule.  This way, I can verify if the same students continue to need intervention or if there is a constant rotation of students who have needs of intervention based on the concept(s) which are being taught.  Hopefully, I will yield positive results!



Reading Intervention for 1st Grade “Bubble Students” 
Goal: Provide supplemental intervention to assist 1st grade “bubble student” readers who do not meet the requirements for intensive intervention from Reading Recovery to improve their reading skills/levels.
Action Steps(s):
Person(s) Responsible:
Timeline: Start/End
Needed Resources
Evaluation
View data from Kindergarten DRA scores to determine which entering 1st grade students rank in the 20th% for Reading Recovery and determine what % will be ranked as “bubble students” who will receive supplemental intervention.

  1. Good idea incorporating the DRA. It will provide you information to help monitor your students and provide data. The best part is your district is already using it so you won't have to create it or find it.

  2. It looks like you had a good meeting with your site supervisor. I feel like its a good idea to look at the kids that are on that bubble. They seem to always get overlooked. I am waiting to meet with my new site supervisor hopefully next week.
