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!) Is it possible that instead of meeting one-on-one with all those students that you can create small groups of maybe 3 to teach the intervention and then if a student is still struggling in that group you continue to work a little longer with that particular student for a few more minutes? It is very difficult for one teacher to meet one on one with all of her students consistently. Could the instructional coach come help with some intervention during part of her day? Our coaches help in various classrooms during their day.
