Support Systems
Intervention Program
The Intervention Program is designed to promote academic success through best-practice interventions in reading and mathematics for learners who require more intensive support in addition to those provided in the general classroom.
In Libertyville District 70 we believe...
- ongoing, universal, regular assessment of all students drives instructional practices and interventions.
- early intervention, rather than a "wait-to-fail" model, best supports struggling learners.
- pull-out interventions should supplement, not supplant, high-quality classroom instruction.
- early intervention for at risk first graders should be implemented as early as possible.
- intervention group sizes decrease along a continuum of support for struggling learners.
- best practice indicates that struggling learners benefit most from daily interventions.
