Responsibilities of Faculty • Everyone Maintain accurate pre- period roster Inform pre- period students daily of interventions Assign and document specific student interventions Document the completion of intervention assignments Enrichment Teachers • Check roll daily • Check the web site and do not mark intervention students absent • Send students out who are scheduled for intervention but show up for enrichment • Facilitate student directed activities and high interest enrichment • Intervention teachers • Check roll daily • Report students who do not attend • Work with a minimum of 5 students per day • Communicate with the sending teacher during department meetings and agree how and who will finalize documentation

10. Achieving “Buy-In” from students • Tangible benefits for attendance like the opportunity to earn partial credit on a forgotten assignment or time to work on a project in a small group setting • Conference time with students during intervention to set goals, create action plans, and follow up meetings to work the plan (example: I contract) • Procedure which allows students to initiate scheduling their own interventions

11. Achieving “Buy-In” from teachers • In service training to introduce how your school will use an intervention period embedded in the school day • Allow faculty to create enrichment offerings and decide who will facilitate each enrichment and intervention through departmental meetings • Provide periodic evaluation of program and adjust to improve • Create a Rules of Fair Play for scheduling procedures

12. Best Practices for Intervention Follow up documentation for all scheduled interventions are needed to track student and program success Practical guidelines for mastering effective interventions developed by core curriculum departments Procedures created to handle problem areas like students who skip interventions or who consistently arrive late to intervention
