Academic Intervention Specialist (AIS)

Summary of position: The Math Academic Intervention Specialist (AIS) provides intensive targeted academic support to students who require intervention beyond what is provided in the general education classroom. The AIS delivers small-group or individualized instruction designed to address specific academic skill deficits and support students in meeting grade-level expectations.

The AIS plays a central role in the school’s Multi-Layered System of Supports (MLSS) by providing Layer 3 academic interventions, monitoring student progress, and collaborating with classroom teachers to adjust instruction based on student performance data.

The AIS works closely with classroom teachers via the MLSS Team Meeting process to identify students requiring intensive academic support and to monitor the effectiveness of intervention strategies. The AIS also works directly with the SSD and SAT (as assigned) to identify students for MLSS Layer 3 academic support.

Role Boundaries and Escalation: The Academic Intervention Specialist provides MLSS Layer 3 academic intervention services to students requiring intensive academic support.

The AIS has professional authority within their licensure to:

• Provide targeted academic intervention through small-group or individualized instruction
• Conduct progress monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of intervention strategies
• Analyze student performance data to adjust intervention instruction
• Collaborate with classroom teachers regarding strategies to support struggling learners
• Provide professional recommendations to SAT or MLSS teams regarding student academic needs

The Academic Intervention Specialist does not:

• Provide specially designed instruction through an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or deliver IEP service minutes
• Determine special education eligibility or placement decisions
• Supervise or evaluate staff
• Interpret school policy or make administrative decisions

Students who continue to demonstrate significant academic difficulty despite intervention may be referred through the Student Assistance Team (SAT) for further review.

Concerns related to program implementation, staffing, or intervention services must be escalated to the Student Support Director or school administration.

The Academic Intervention Specialist is obligated to respond to student misconduct in accordance with the NMIS Student Discipline Matrix and may implement Level 0 and Level 1 disciplinary responses as defined in the matrix.
