The Gordon County Pyramid of Interventions is in place to help students be successful in school. It is an approach that doesn't wait for a student to fail before "help" is provided. It focuses on identifying students who are struggling and provides layers of research-based interventions in order to help students be successful in school. Progress monitoring data is collected to assist educators in determining if the intervention is successful in helping students progress towards grade level at an acceptable rate. Tier 1 provides standards-based instruction in every classroom for every student. This instruction includes academic areas, speech and behavior. Tier 2 provides planned interventions to students who are not successful in Tier 1. The interventions often occur in small, needs-based groups and/or through computer-based instruction. Progress is monitored on a regular schedule. Tier 3 provides services that are planned through a Student Support Team (SST). When students are not successful in Tiers 1 & 2, parents are invited to a SST meeting. The team works together to develop a targeted plan to address the student's needs. Upon request, psychologists are available to provide diagnostic testing to assist the team in developing appropriate intervention plans. Progress is monitored often. Students who are not successful with this amount of assistance may be referred for services through the Exceptional Student Services Department.
