30. Special Education RTI Tutorial Class - Reading and Math Tutorial Classes, at Davis, are schedule to run in tandem. This allows tutorial teachers to support students in both Math and Reading whenever necessary. The teachers have developed a progress monitoring system they have named, “HEY YAY! OH NO!” Weekly progress reports are created in Power School. All quiz, test, and missing assignments are evaluated. Weekly locker checks help to keep students organized. The new monitoring procedure has given students greater accountability for their progress, and has created a stronger student, teacher, and home connection. Intervention Consultation - we have been assigned an IC. She currently works with students who are struggling with academics and organization, but are not certified special education. Eligibility Cards - athletes receive an eligibility card weekly. They must submit their current grade and behavior in each class to remain eligible to play. Tuesday and Thursday Tutoring - administrators and teachers volunteer to help the students with their assignments and review content to ensure greater understanding.
