  1. Meeting the Needs of All Learners Ankeny Extended Learning Program Identification and Service Delivery Model

  2. Greetings • Nicole Petersen- AELP Parent Group President • Lisa Glenn- Director of Special Programs, Ankeny Schools

  3. Goal of this meeting • Broad overview of changes in service model • Provide potential examples of services to students • Alignment with district mission and vision

  4. Meeting the Needs of High Level Learners Desired State Current Reality The upcoming transition to the new Iowa Core will increase the rigor and depth of complexity required for student mastery of concepts. This will invariably help our pyramid closer resemble the more typical balance of 80-90% of students having their needs met within quality core instruction. Additionally, as teachers continue to refine their formative assessment practices to guide instruction designed to meet students learning needs within quality core instruction, the type of support high level learners receive will shift to occur within general education classrooms.. The overall rigor and depth of complexity of our current math and reading curriculum causes our current Pyramid of Interventions to be skewed with an exorbitant amount of students whose learning needs are not being met through quality core instruction. Due to a minimally challenging curriculum and to better meet the learning needs of high level learners, a large number of students are accelerated and identified as gifted and talented to increase learning opportunities for students.

  5. Identification • Researched process for identification • Use of Iowa Assessment and Cognitive Abilities Test • Identify general intellectual ability • Use of sub-scores to determine instruction • Identification at the end of third grade, IA screening at fourth and fifth grades

  6. Response to intervention • Unidentified students who have instructional needs which are not being met will benefit from the building-level problem solving process (RtI) • Interventions will be developed for students needing additional instruction, and could lead to eventual identification

  7. Examples • Services are determined based on instructional need • Not all examples are going to be the appropriate instructional venue for every student • Instructional services will change throughout the year depending on student need • AELP providers are differentiating for student need, just as we would expect all teachers to do in Ankeny

  19. Questions • At this point, teachers are gathering data about their students’ needs in order to meet those needs in the best way. • We have given you a large amount of information in a short period of time. If you have building or student-specific questions, you are invited to set up a time with your child’s AELP teacher and/or principal.
