AIS/RTI Mathematics Plainview-Old Bethpage 2015-2016
What is AIS Math? ● AIS is a partnership between student, parent, teacher, math specialist, and curriculum. Our goal is to steepen the trajectory of each student’s academic path. ● We achieve success doing the following: ● Responding to the Intervention as early as possible ● Increasing frequency and providing multiple opportunities to math concepts ● Providing alternative strategies for success ● Creating a supportive environment that has a positive mindset ● Closing the achievement gap over time
Three Tiered TRI ● A three-tiered RTI program is in place to allow for flexibility in meeting the needs of students with varying levels of deficiency with: • Tier 1 interventions available in all settings for all students with the aim of being preventive and proactive. • Tier 2 interventions designed for small groups of students with an AIS instructor in either a pull-out or push-in model as determined by the team. • Tier 3 interventions generally for students who require the highest degree of frequency and lowest number of students.
What does AIS Math look like at POB? ● Math AIS providers focus on: ● Math fluency ● Concept development ● Preteaching and reteaching ● Problem solving - using multiple strategies and decoding word problems ● Staffing: ● Elementary Schools: ● 1.5 FTE math specialists at each building ● This includes the addition of 0.5 for the 2015-16 school year at each building ● Middle Schools: ● POBMS 2.8 FTE - 2.0 full-time AIS teachers plus 0.8 FTE (shared by math teachers) ● MMS 2.0 FTE - 1.0 full-time AIS teacher plus 1.0 FTE (shared by math teachers)
