Intervention

At Crib Point Primary School we follow a Response to Intervention (RTI) is a framework used to support students who are having difficulties, or require extension with their learning. RTI places emphasis on how well students respond to changes in instruction.

The essential elements of an RTI approach are:

  • The provision of scientific, research-based instruction and interventions
  • Monitoring and Measurement of student progress in response to instruction
  • Use of data and student progress to shape educational decisions

The RTI model consists of 3 tiers.

  • Tier 1 – whole class instruction and supports
  • Tier 2 – small group instruction that is targeted and closely monitored
  • Tier 3 – students who require more intensive assistance that is individualised and 1:1

RTI approach to intervention includes:

  • High quality instruction
  • School wide screening to determine which tier students are placed
  • Multiple tiers of increasing intensity interventions matched to student need
  • Use of a collaborative approach by school staff for development, implementation, and monitoring of the intervention process.
  • Continuous monitoring of student progress during the interventions (use of objective information to determine if students are meeting goals)
  • Follow up measures providing information that the intervention was implemented as intended with appropriate consistency.

Australian Defence Force tuition assistance can be organised through the school ADF aide for eligible students when they transfer into the school. In addition, the Education Department is able to provide Speech Pathology, Social work and psychological services to eligible students at the school.
