Students who are experiencing learning difficulties will be assisted by our Intervention Team.  This team may be comprised of our school’s counselor, intervention coordinator, reading and math specialists, classroom teacher(s), and school administrators.

The Intervention program is a process aimed to help our school focus on high-quality interventions that are matched to an individual student’s needs and monitored on a frequent basis.  It’s when the school provides targeted teaching—called interventions—to help struggling students catch-up.  The information gleaned from the intervention process is used by teachers to adapt instruction, and to make decisions regarding the student’s educational program.

The St. Luke School Intervention process is designed to take students from where they are and help them move toward grade-level expectations.  For a handful of students, this may involve short-term or long-term tutoring. 

For a few others, academic assistance might involve making adjustments or accommodations to their daily instruction and assessments.  A few others, especially emergent readers who are struggling in grades K-2, may receive intervention services outside the classroom 3-5x weekly. 

An additional benefit of the school’s intervention process is that it eliminates a “wait and see” approach to a child’s learning because students get help promptly.  As soon as assessment data (whether formal or informal) indicates a problem area for a student, interventions are put into place to address these concerns.

Parental input and support are essential for a child’s success.  We welcome parents’ involvement and feedback in the intervention process.
