Teacher - Reading Interventionist

Teacher - Reading Interventionist

The Literacy Interventionist assists students who have been identified as at-risk with literacy intervention to provide a continuum of support and help them get on grade level. The interventionist utilizes district‑approved interventions to deliver lesson plans, evaluate and assess student performance. The interventionist meets with teachers, interprets student progress, and informs parents/guardians about student strengths, weaknesses, and progress. Lastly, the interventionist collaborates with identified teachers who share the at-risk students served and develops a transition plan between the intervention classroom and the regular classroom.
