THE EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM (EIP)

THE EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM
(EIP)

• Reflecting on the effectiveness of our
  intervention.

2
What is the Purpose of EIP

• The Early Intervention Program (EIP) is designed
  to serve students who are at risk of not reaching
  or maintaining academic grade level. The purpose
  of the Early Intervention Program is to provide
  additional instructional resources to help
  students who are performing below grade level
  obtain the necessary academic skills to reach
  grade level performance in the shortest possible
  time.

EIP Delivery Models

• AUGMENTED

• PULL-OUT

• Commonly referred to as Co-teaching
• The EIP teacher goes into the regular classroom
  for 45-50 minutes to co-teach with the general
  education teacher to reduce the teacher to
  student ratio and better meet individual
  students needs

• EIP students leave their general classrooms for
  45-50 minutes of additional instruction in a
  separate, small group setting of no more than 16
  students.

4
Who Qualifies?

• One of the two qualifications must be met in
  order to be served in EIP.

• Students who scored in the Level One on the
  previous years CRCT
• Students referred by classroom teacher based on
  EIP rubric checklist score

5
EIP Accountability

• EIP teachers will be held accountable largely
  based upon students CRCT scores and improved
  achievement.

6
What is the make whole concept?

• We need to document 74 EIP segments served.
  Students are counted for each segment they are
  served in (reading/math). For example, if a
  student is served in reading and maththat equals
  2 segments. All of this has to fit in with 6
  classes in one day ?

7
Stuck between a rock and hard place.

• What do we do with one EIP teacher and six grade
  levels (K-5), all with needs?

8
Here are our choices

• Do it ALL

• Prioritize

• Serve all grade levels, combining segments into
  multi-grade level classes

• Look at areas of greatest need and prioritize.
• Formulate homogenous groups based on six greatest
  needs.

9
Which is MOST effective?

• Do what you can, with what you have, where you
  are.
• -Theodore Roosevelt

10
Where do our priorities lie?

• High-stakes years (3rd grade reading and 5th
  grade reading and math)
• Level One on CRCT
• 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade reading
• 4th grade math will better prepare our 5th grade
  students for the fast-paced curriculum and
  upcoming high-stakes year

11
What happens in the EIP classroom?

• For our 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade segments,
  the students will come to my room for 45 minutes
  of small group, differentiated instruction in
  reading (1st, 2nd, 3rd) and in math (4th) that is
  highly individualized to meet each students
  needs. All instruction is standards-based as set
  by the Georgia Performance Standards and aligned
  with the Fulton County Curriculum.

12
5th grade reading and math

• This year, 5th grade EIP students will remain in
  their classrooms. I will come in and team-teach
  with Ms. Morris for math and Ms. Novelli for
  reading. Each segment will receive 50 minutes of
  my services. I will teach alongside these
  homeroom teachers, offering small group
  instruction and one-on-one support to any student
  that needs help.

13
Will work be graded in EIP?

• Work is NOT graded in EIP! Students are offered
  the opportunity to receive additional support and
  practice of the skills necessary to help them
  achieve grade level expectations. I will assess
  students to guide my instruction as well as to
  inform the parents and the teachers of the
  childs progress.

14
How does a child exit EIP?

• Students may exit EIP based on a CRCT score the
  previous spring that indicates a Meets or
  Exceeds in Reading and/or Math. Students may
  also exit the program based on consistent
  classroom performance, an increase in grades, and
  teacher recommendation. The parents also have the
  right to remove their child from EIP.
