Student Exit Procedures

2016 - 2017

Monitoring the student’s progress is critical in making good instructional decisions. Students that are not making sufficient gains are referred to the school’s MTSS team. Intervention may be continued, intensified or discontinued, based on student need.

For a student to be dismissed from intervention, the student should be able to:

1. Read the following book levels using a cold reading of the text. (Accuracy should be at 90% or better, with adequate comprehension.)

*Retained Students

Students who have been retained in a grade need to be performing where their peers are performing to be dismissed from the EI Program. If you have a first grade retained student, he or she needs to be performing where his or her second grade peers are performing to be dismissed from the EI Program.

Example:

Sarah is a retained first grader. She needs to be able to read a level 20 and pass Stage 4 before she can be dismissed from her group in January.
