Looking for an intervention for your students? The Intervention Tools Chart is designed to be used by educators as a resource to locate interventions, instructional practices, and learning strategies that can be used within an RtI process. Please note: the listing of specific tools is not meant as an endorsement by the NYS RtI MS DP or the NYSED. Rather, it is up to the consumer to research selected tools for evidence of effectiveness. The chart contains three types of tools that are either free or available for purchase: commercial programs, instructional practices, and learning strategies.
Accelerated Math® is a software tool that provides practice problems for students in grades K–12. Accelerated Math® creates individualized student assignments, scores the assignments, and generates reports on student progress. This is a supplementary program to be used in conjunction with the math curriculum used in the classroom. The software is designed to add practice for students and help teachers differentiate instruction through the program’s progress-monitoring data.
The National Center on INTENSIVE INTERVENTION has sample lessons and activities intended to assist special education teachers, interventionists, and others working with students with intensive mathematics needs.
The lessons/materials are not intended to be used as an intervention, but can provide support for developing and customizing lessons to meet student needs.
Bright Beginnings is an early childhood curriculum, based in part on the High/Scope® and The Creative Curriculum® models, with additional emphasis on building early language and literacy skills.
