INTERVENTION

All DVUSD schools use the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS), a multi-tiered framework of high-quality instruction, enrichment, and intervention that is responsive and differentiated. Our multi-tiered system of supports provides a coherent continuum of system-wide, data-based problem-solving practices supporting a rapid response to all students' academic and behavioral needs. This comprehensive support system includes assessments (universal screening, diagnostic, progress monitoring, formative and summative), research-based instruction, and interventions. This instruction/intervention is delivered across multiple tiers depending on student needs identified by student outcome data.

We offer several interventions for students who are struggling with their classwork. The first step is for students to ensure they are in class every day, paying attention, and completing all assignments. Parents can help students with this by encouraging attendance and providing a quiet environment for assignment completion daily at home. Parents should also check PowerSchool regularly to track their student's attendance and grades in each course.

If a student begins to struggle, they should attend tutoring either with the teacher in the class they are struggling with or after school with a peer tutor.

FLEX TIME intervention sessions provide time for students to receive support during the instructional day two times a week. Students are either assigned to a FLEX TIME session or may select a session for support, time to complete school work or to extend their learning in a course. The purpose of this time is to allow a struggling student some extra time in a smaller group setting to better understand the skills they were struggling with during class time. There are also opportunities for students to enrich their learning if they are doing well in all of their courses.

BCHS also offers intensive tier 3 reading and math intervention classes during the day, such as Math 180, Read 180, and Elevate. 

FLEX TIME

Flex time is academic time built into the regular school day for students to participate in sessions such as:

• Interventions and tutoring on specific skills

• Extension and enrichment

• Skill assessment and reassessment

• Life skills/college and career readiness  

• Open academic sessions  

 

Flex Time can help students achieve academic success in the following ways:

• Increased understanding of the concepts taught in your classes.

• A time to catch up in classes you were absent from.

• Opportunity to participate in extension or enrichment activities to expand learning.

• Grade improvement.

• Improved performance on tests such as AP, SAT, ACT

• Opportunity to increase your college and career readiness

• An overall increase in academic achievement.
