Our ELA Coordinator will oversee the Academic Specialists and deliver intervention to address the learning loss for all students. Screeners will be given to all at-risk students and an intervention plan will then be developed and implemented. The school principals in conjunction with the teachers will identify students who need social and emotional support due to returning to in-person learning and plans will be developed and implemented for those students.

The focus of the Coolidge Unified project is to close the achievement gap of our students with smaller class sizes, highly qualified interventionist, research and evidence based assessment and skill based intervention for individual students. The initial focus in on our K-3 students and bringing in additional para support to lower class sizes and remediate the transition of students who lost at least a years worth of learning in the critical first years of learning to read and develop number sense.

Data will be the driver of our intervention program success. We will monitor our data and make instructional adjustments for all students, including those with special needs, ELL students, low income and minority students. It will be important for us to receive feedback from families as we deal the the underlying social and emotional impacts of the pandemic.

We have worked closely with our district homeless liaison, our EL Coordinator, our Director of Special Services, our Foster Care Liaison, our school counselors, administrators, governing board members, parents, students and community members to develop a plan that ensures that all students, especially those disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 are identified for services of many types. We have developed a plan for learning loss both during summer and throughout the school year.

ARCHES Academy will monitor the effectiveness of interventions implemented through benchmark testing, both formative and summative assessments, teacher input and regular data meetings.
