Section 3f: Intervention plan

Return to Annotated ALE Rules Contents | << Previous | Next >>

Rule Text

(f) "Intervention plan" means a plan designed to improve the progress of students determined to be not making satisfactory progress. An intervention plan must be developed, documented, and implemented by a certificated teacher in conjunction with the student and, for students in grades K-8, the student's parent(s). At minimum, the intervention plan must include at least one of the following interventions:

(i) Increasing the frequency or duration of direct personal contact for the purposes of enhancing the ability of the certificated teacher to improve student learning;

(ii) Modifying the manner in which direct personal contact is accomplished;

(iii) Modifying the student's learning goals or performance objectives;

(iv) Modifying the number of or scope of courses or the content included in the learning plan.

Comments

This definition of an intervention plan is much more specific than the previous ALE requirement, because intervention planning takes on additional importance for students not making satisfactory progress. You will notice with later requirements (see 7(i)) that an intervention plan is necessary in order for programs to continue to claim funding for students not making satisfactory progress.

See the section on enrollment reporting for more information on intervention plans as they relate to funding.
