10. Current Elementary Support Model 2013-14 Reading Support 1 Literacy Specialist / Interventionist 1 Reading Para 1 Reading Intern Math Support 1 Math Specialist / TAG Teacher 1 Math Intern

11. Concerns with Current Model • Difficult for 1 person to be the interventionist, oversee Para and intern and provide coaching to teachers • Interns change every year requiring a lot of support annually • Para and Interns need to be overseen by certified teacher

12. Proposed Elementary Support Model 2014-15 Reading Support 1 Literacy Specialist (Teacher) 1 Literacy Support Teacher 1 Reading Intern Math Support 1 Math Specialist / TAG Teacher 1 Math Para

13. Expected Benefits of New Model • 1 certified teacher dedicated to coaching teachers • Addition of certified support teacher with sole focus on servicing intervention students • Replacing Math Intern with Math Para for more stability and stronger skill set

14. Special Education Increase Currently: Our Special Education Director conducts all out of district PPT’s in addition to running the Special Services Department. Concerns: Between Magnet Schools, Charter Schools, Vo-Tech Schools, Public and Private Special Education placements there are 29 facilities which require a Waterford Special Education LEA representative to attend and agree with the billable hours of service being provided. Proposal: 0.5 FTE Special Education teacher to conduct out-of-district PPTs.
