AIS stands for Academic Intervention Services. These services are designed to help struggling students achieve grade level expectations through strategic and individualized instruction and support.
In small group settings, students work on meeting individual goals. Goals can be solely academic, however, they may also be social-emotional, behavioral, organizational, or any other area that a student may struggle with. Student growth is then assessed through progress monitoring.
Candidates for AIS are identified through benchmark assessments during the school year, as well as teacher observations, and informal assessments like classroom tests and quizzes.
What's most fulfilling about teaching AIS, is seeing the tremendous growth from September to June. AIS is a true reflection of the Growth Mindset: Through challenges, mistakes, and perseverance, students will learn strategies to help them do their best learning!
