I&RS (Intervention and Referral Sevices) Home page
The Intervention and Referral Service (I&RS) is a way in which educators collaborate to seek the best student learning style and teacher practices. Its focus is to align students’ learning with available resources in their classroom environment.
The I&RS Team Collaboratively:
Involves the development and implementation of the Individual Student Improvement Plan (ISIP)
Identifies students in need and then plans and provides interventions for those students within their classroom through Student Improvement Plan (ISIP)
Reviews and assesses the effectiveness of the services provided in the intervention of the ISIP
What happens at a meeting?
Meetings are held as needed
The I&RS Team meets with teachers and other staff members who have made a referral and requested assistance from the team
A new Individual Student Improvement Plan (ISIP) is created for new referrals; incorporating suggestions from teachers and staff
Students previously referred are discussed; progress or continued concern is noted; recommendations are made for changes, if any, to the existing ISIP
