School psychologist and administrator Jim Wright draws upon his years of experience working with teachers and students to address student achievement in mathematics using the RtI model.


Beginning with a discussion of the Five Strands of Mathematical Proficiency outlined by the National Research Council, Wright draws parallels with the more familiar reading interventions in place for children who struggle.  Understanding whether student difficulties are with fundamental math concepts, computation or fact fluency are key to selecting appropriate interventions to develop understanding and proficiency. By assessing these skills and others in cross-over areas like reading comprehension, math vocabulary and writing, teachers can help build a plan for math intervention and progress monitoring in foundation skills as well as higher-level mathematical thinking.

Jim Wright’s Intervention Central website contains many resources for school-based assessment and intervention, as well as tools for progress monitoring in math, reading and social-emotional areas. This workshop will include a look at some of the research summaries, teaching practice tips and free tools available online at www.interventioncentral.org as only the author can give.
Jim is an engaging speaker whose passion for this important topic of appropriate instruction includes management techniques for successful intervention in the regular classroom. His work will help you turn research into practical application for struggling math students in your district.
