The self-contained class includes many students who are below grade-level in Math and Reading. The teacher is moving through the tiers of intervention. Several of the students are in tier 2, while others are in tier 3. The teacher has provided some programmatic interventions for each student. The instructional coach feels that the teacher needs to consistently work one-on-one with each student to meet each of their needs. The teacher feels like there is not enough time to systematically address the needs of each student in the necessary subject areas and maintains that the interventions for each student need to be programmatic. Is there common ground? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Some strategies allow for students to work with a high achieving buddy. For example, paired reading is a great strategy for reading fluency that students can do in pairs, without the teacher.
