they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors,
and the most patient of teachers."  Charles W. Eliot

***************

Green Mountain School District provides reading and math intervention for K-8 students who qualify for additional assistance.  Student eligibility across our district is determined by a series of screening tools, previous year testing, as well as teacher and parent referral.

Students in our Title 1/ LAP programs receive the benefit of instruction in small groups led by a teacher who specializes in reading/math instruction. Title 1/ LAP aides and assistants are in classrooms for individualized and group instruction.  Our students may receive a variety of interventions that include small group, individual, and tutoring assistance beyond the classroom.

Our Title 1/ LAP programs operate within a three-tier instructional model. The first tier is the classroom instruction with a collaborative relationship between the classroom teacher and the specialist.  The second tier is the small group and individualized instruction during the Title 1/ LAP period.  The third tier is with ongoing communication and development for all teachers and support staff using research-based curricula and aligned assessments as key components.

All services provided in Title 1/ LAP Reading are supplemental to the instruction of the classroom teacher.  Lessons are designed to assist our students by increasing their decoding and fluency skills.  We provide these students with additional support using small group and individual instruction.  Our goal is to provide students with the necessary tools to master the skills they need to become proficient grade-level readers.  We view each student’s needs with equal importance and strive to help them become life-long readers.

All services provided in Title 1/ LAP Math is supplemental to the instruction of the classroom teacher.  Lessons are designed to assist our students by increasing their accuracy and rate of computation.

At-home support is an important part of the Title 1/LAP program.  Even five minutes a day can help your child make strides in learning.
