Interventions

What is an Intervention?
An intervention is that "extra something" put in place that extends beyond the regular curriculum AND specifically targets identified weaknesses of a student or group of students.

Research-based interventions are strategies, teaching methodologies and supports that have been shown through one or more valid research studies ot help a student improve academic, behavioral/emotional or functional skills. The interventions used prior to determining eligibility for special education ad related services must be designed to address the skill deficiency of the particular individual student. //North Carolina Department of Public Instruction//
