This session will provide participants with a basic understanding of the Intervention System guide available to schools and teams on the ESSA Support Site. The guide was designed to support local system in the work around the development, delivery, monitoring, and refinement of local academic intervention work to increase outcomes for all learners. The guide addresses system beliefs and practices that enable an efficient and effective intervention system as well as those steps that address the needs of groups of students and specific learners. This 90-minute session will not be the entire training that schools may engage in through their local AEAs during the academic year, yet will provide teams with an understanding of the development and rationale to the Intervention System guide as well as the logic and flow of the intervention steps for local use.
