Did you talk to other teachers on the team?

Did you ask parents about getting a tutor or ask student if they had a tutor?

Did you modify your teaching style with the student?

Have you used peer supports in any way?

Consult with leadership-AP, Counselor, Principal?

Was student referred for Tier 2 supports to a learning support teacher?

Which area of learning is of concern?

Be specific in describing the student concern. 

Look at referral questions in the different subject areas

Analyze data to determine where is the student in comparison to the peers in their class?

How does the student compare to his/her peers in terms of growth; mastering concepts at the same level as peers, pace; are they moving through content at the same speed as peers?, and retention; are they comprehending the material to the same level of mastery as their peers?

What is the students rate of growth compared to peers? (look at baseline vs current assessment data)

How far away is the student from his/her projected growth?

How do we get the student to INCREASE their rate of progress, (not ‘catch up’)
