Why INTERVENTION?
•What happens if we don’t?
…the larger scale
Current Reality--Secondary
• Students not connecting to school--relationships
• Students not engaged with teaching strategies--lacking variety in terms of learning styles--not communicating the relevance (compelling purpose)--lacking the opportunity to capitalize on individual strengths
Challenges—Secondary
• Departments• Case load in a given day• Student level of need (after x
amount years of schooling)
• Communication/Resources• Scheduling• Tier I System Offerings:
Literacy, Etc.
Check and Connect
Tiers 2 and 3
Check & Connect• A “mentoring” model of
comprehensive and sustained intervention for promoting students' engagement with school and learning.
Research-Based
• What Works Clearinghouse, which conducts rigorous reviews of educational research identified 1 out of 2 programs having significant impacts on reducing dropout rates.
Check & Connect Overview
1. Teacher mentor
2. Mentees identified based on need
3. Systematic monitoring (CHECK)
4. Timely, individualized intervention strategies (CONNECT)
Balanced Model
•Academic
•Behavioral
•Social & Emotional
Key Features
1. Relationship Building — mutual trust and open communication
2. Routine Monitoring of Alterable Indicators — systemically checking warning signs of withdrawal (attendance, academic performance, behavior)
Key Features
3. Individualized and Timely Intervention — support tailored to individual student needs
4. Long-Term Commitment — committing to students and families for at least two years
Key Features5. Persistence Plus — a persistent source of
academic motivation
6. Problem-Solving — designed to promote the acquisition of skills to resolve conflict constructively and to look for solutions rather than a source of blame
7. Affiliation with School and Learning — facilitating students' access to and active participation in school-related activities and events
Mentor• Persistence
• Believe all children have abilities
• Work closely with families using a non-blaming approach
Mentor• Advocacy skills,
ability to negotiate, compromise, and confront conflict
• Organizational skills

Intended Outcomes• Demonstrated outcomes
include:--attendance--behavioral referrals--grade reporting--credit accrual--higher “overall” achievement levels--dropout incidents

Step #4: Structure for Collaboration
How can mentors come together to:--reflect upon mentee progress?--learn intervention strategies proven to be successful?
Step #5: Alignment of Interventions
HELPFUL RESOURCES:
1. Check & Connect--research-based strategies according to indicator
2. Best Practice (Teaching & Learning)
3. Peer Teacher Experience
Step #6: Monitor and Evaluate
