This Portion of the SAS website includes sample materials, and
units which align with state standards. Materials are created by
education professionals (teachers like you) as part of a
collaborative professional community. Educators can search for
resources based on grade level and content area.

Slide 5
Learning Progressions are the sequence of skills students must
master on their way to achieving a goal. Achievement is measured
through completion of benchmarks, or what the site refers to as
mile-posts. Students must master mile posts before moving forward.
Advanced students can accelerate through mile posts as quickly as
they are able.
Slide 6
Learning Progressions chart a students expected level of
achievement within a standard from grades k-8. Progressions are
available in the PSSA testing areas: Reading, Writing, Math, and
Science. Additional Materials are available across Keystone content
areas.

Interventions
Slide 8
Interventions Are research based approaches Should be designed
to assist students in accessing the general curriculum. Provide
necessary scaffolds to ensure grade-level instruction. Address both
academic and behavior issues.
Slide 9
RTII Interventions should follow the RTII (Response to
Instruction and Intervention) Framework. Tier One: interventions
that take place within the classroom, including differentiated
instruction. Tier Two: Small group interventions, including student
level planning meetings conducted by staff. Tier Three: Intensive
one-on-one interventions, such as tutoring or specialist
meetings.
Slide 10
Student Level Planning Meetings (a Tier II approach)
Instructors should meet regularly to monitor the progress of
students to plan interventions. Meetings should include counselors,
teachers, and administrative staff. Interventions should be
reviewed regularly for effectiveness. Practices should be adjusted
based on student response. Formative and Summative assessments
should be used in monitoring student performance.
