Infrastructure

• Belleair
• Year 2 of pilot
• 90-minute block PLC, twice per month with
  psychologist and administrator co-facilitating
  problem solving with grade level data.
• Staggered reading blocks to allow for
  supplemental instruction/ increased time
  (instructional minutes) as needed
• Resource Allocation- using Title I teachers are
  matched to student instructional needs as opposed
  to traditional equitable distribution of
  resources.
• Forest Lakes
• Year 2 of pilot
• Staggered PLCs throughout the week allowed
  administrators and SBLT members to join teachers
  for data-driven, problem solving meetings.
• Resource Allocation- using Literacy Success
  teachers and ESE resource teachers to provide
  Tier 2 interventions for students across grade
  levels

18
Implementation

• Belleair
• Walk to Intervention
• Historical trend data reviewed to identify
  achievement gaps between grade levels.
• First Grade targeted
• Behavior
• An identified gap related to building of
  behavioral system and/or using data to identify
  students in need of behavioral supports
• Discovered that there was no systematic Tier1
  behavioral intervention
• Hypothesis building Skill vs. Performance
  deficit

  based on DIBELS data
• Regular meetings with first-grade teachers
  through PLC to review data
