What to Do the First 30 Days of Intervention

Your first 30 days as a reading specialist or interventionist can feel like a LOT.

You’re trying to figure out who needs intervention, what students need, when to meet with them, how to organize your groups, what to teach, and how you’re going to keep track of it all.

And if you’re thinking, “Where do I even start?” — you are not alone.

This is more than a workshop. It’s a co-working session designed to help you actually get your intervention plan in place.

Bring your student data, your schedule, and your questions. We’ll work through the key pieces together so you can move from “I have no idea where to start” to “I have a plan.”

During our time together, you’ll work through how to:

• Look at your reading data and identify important trends

• Figure out what your students need to work on first

• Form skill-based groups based on student needs

• Create a reading intervention schedule that works for your students and your day

• Plan targeted intervention lessons for your groups

• Establish simple routines that make intervention time run smoothly

• Create a progress monitoring schedule you can actually keep up with

• Organize the systems and routines you’ll need to stay on track

• Identify your next steps for the first 30 days
