Interventionist Teacher - IDEA Burke College Prep

Role Mission

IDEA Interventionist Teacher intervenes with small groups of students who have identified gaps of 2 or more years in Reading and/or Math with the goal of closing that gap by 2 years in just one school year. The IDEA interventionist plays a crucial part in ensuring that all students are prepared to successfully participate in IDEA’s AP for All initiative. This is an approach to academic intervention used to provide systematic, and appropriately intensive assistance to children who are at risk for or already underperforming as compared to appropriate grade‑or‑age-level standards.

Intervention teachers will use universal screening, Direct Instruction intervention, frequent progress monitoring, and increasingly intensive research‑based instruction and interventions for students who continue to have difficulty.
