This process focuses on analyzing student data and developing actionable steps based on that analysis. The classroom teacher will meet at each of the three marking periods with the director, education / disabilities manager, family advocate, and family support manager to review the individual’ s developmental level and progress.

• Early Childhood Scientifically Research-Based Intervention Meetings( ECSRBI): High-quality preschool programs support all children, regardless of their range of experience or current skills, abilities, and interests. Early Childhood SRBI offers a framework for providing this support and ensuring that the needs of our youngest learners are met. Early Childhood SRBI is adapted from Scientific Research-Based Interventions( SRBI), Connecticut’ s Framework for Response to Intervention( RTI), currently being implemented in elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the state. Implementing a similar framework, appropriate for early childhood, will help to ensure that our youngest learners have a solid foundation for future life and school success
Key Components of Early Childhood SRBI:
• High-quality core curriculum that addresses state learning standards in all domains
• Assessment to determine how children are progressing
• Individualized support, across multiple tiers, for children who are not making expected progress
• Collaborative problem-solving as a basis for making decisions
• Comprehensive support for social, emotional, behavioral, mental, and physical health.
• TIER I All children receive high-quality curriculum and instruction.
• TIER II The school or program provides help for children who need more support than they are receiving from the core curriculum.
• TIER III The school or program provides more intensive interventions for children who need the most support.
