REMEDIATION

Raising the Bar and Closing the Gap by Rick DuFour, Becky Dufour, Robert Eaker and Gayle Karhanek identifies one of the critical questions that schools must answer as “How will we respond when students don’t learn?”….”Every school should have a plan that guarantees students who are struggling to learn an essential skill or concept will receive additional time and support in a way that is timely, directive, and systematic”. Most educators believe that students should have every opportunity to be successful. However, those same educators say, “The schedule won’t allow it.”

Below are three examples that are prescriptive. Teachers analyze data regarding student achievement. Using that data, students are placed, invited or encouraged to attend remediation (SMART Lunch, Campfire, or 3-R).

We will go through each example and hopefully provide each administrator with something that can be utilized at their specific school.

Notes

  • The entire school will be open.
  • Lunch can only be eaten in the cafeteria or in the room of a teacher…not in the locker bays or in the stairwells.
  • Be punctual to duty areas. Safety is dependent on your being there.
  • Supervise the entire area. For example, if you are assigned to a wing…you are responsible for supervising the entire wing. Walk around… look into the stair-wells.
  • If you are assigned the gym hallway, you are responsible for the picnic area, the back hallway, the hallway leading up the Recovery Lab.
  • If you are assigned the commons area (front door), you are responsible for the area up to and including the gym. If you are assigned the commons area (media center), you are responsible for the area from the gym, down the hallway to fine arts, and to the outside door to the small gym.
  • If you are assigned the picnic area at transportation, you are responsible for the picnic area, the hallway in front of guidance, and the front of the building.
  • Please address any in appropriate behavior.

Tutorials

  • All departments have two days assigned during tutorials.
  • ALL students must attend a minimum of 2 tutorials per quarter (4 for the semester). You can assign more for a student. They should be a part of your quarterly grade. Your department (PLC) has to determine the percentage.
  • Penalties for not attending:

-1st Offense-Teacher contacts parent

-2nd Offense- Loss of off campus lunch pass (if junior or senior) for one day

-3rd Offense-Loss of off campus lunch pass for two days and lunch detention

-4th Offense-Loss of off campus lunch pass for one week and lunch detention

  • If students are assigned tutorials and they not attend, ask an administrator to see that they get to you…
  • There will be a bell at the ½ way point of lunch.
  • Tutorials are expressly for remediation or make-up work…not for rehearsals.

PLT Meetings

  • School Board Policy requires that each faculty member has one hour per week.
  • Department chairs will cover the specifics in department meetings and assist in setting up the scheduled meetings within your department.
  • Minutes are required

CAMPFIRE

Campfire is a student selected form of remediation. The first 30 minutes of the day or 30 minutes before first period begins, students can participate in remediation. Any student that has a 75 or below is encouraged to attend Campfire for that subject a minimum of 1 time per week and a maximum of 4 times per week.

Students are responsible for making the necessary arrangements with their teachers. For example students that have missing assignments would check to see when the teacher has morning tutorial or office hours. Students then sign up with the teacher and gets a pass. On the designated day, students use the pass to work with the teacher on specific and/or prescriptive assignments.

Teachers may invite students to Campfire if a specific lesson is being taught for a second time or if students need a refresher on a specific skill. Teachers may also use this time to assist students with special projects.

Campfire is from 7:30-8 am

3-R REMEDIATION – WHO GOES WHERE?

3-R is the name for the 45 minute in-school remediation block.

3-R is held weekly on Wednesday until three weeks prior to the Standards of Learning (SOL) Tests.

During that time 3-R increases to 4 times a week.

A remediation plan is developed for each student based on their performance for each core area. Each 4.5 weeks, students take a benchmark assessment. Teachers use the data from the benchmark assessment to categorize the students into three groups:

Tier 1: Green / Tier 2: Yellow / Tier 3: Red
Students performing 100-75% / Students performing 74-55% / Students performing 54% and below

When meeting once weekly, students alternate the class they attend. A student in Tier 3 for Math will attend Math week 1 and another subject on Week 2.

During intensive review, priority is given to subjects in which students are performing at the Tier 2 and students at the Tier 3 level who have almost progressed to Tier 2. The students will attend the Tier 2 class twice a week and once for the remaining subjects.

The remediation schedule changes each 4.5 weeks or when the teacher indicates that the students is performing at the Tier 1 level.

3-R is also a time for students not enrolled in SOL classes to attend a class to improve their grade and/or complete missing assignments.
