SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH BASED INTERVENTIONS ( SRBI ) The Connecticut State Department has adopted the nationally recognized Response to Intervention model that promotes both academic and behavioral supports for all students . According to this model , called Scientific Research Based Intervention ( SRBI ) in Connecticut , educators are required to keep careful and ongoing documentation of the progress that students make in reading , writing , and math . Schools will then use this data to determine the most appropriate support for each student , including special education services .
Enfield Public Schools has put into place an important part of SRBI , which is a prevention model that provides extra support in reading and math for students whenever a need is discovered during the school year . The interventions that are provided in reading and math have been researched and shown to be effective in helping most students learn specific skills and demonstrate academic progress .
This instruction may be provided by a member of our certified staff including the classroom teacher , Language Arts and Math Consultants , or Pupil Services staff including Resource Room Teachers or Speech and Language Pathologists . In some cases , this support may also be provided by a paraprofessional or tutor under the direct supervision of a certified teacher .
This support is provided through small groups in addition to the regular language arts or math period in order to give students extra instruction and practice in the targeted skills that may be difficult for them .
