About mCLASS Intervention

—

Getting students caught up on reading skills requires more than just “extra help” in small groups. It requires teaching focused directly on the specific skills each group needs to learn next. How does mCLASS Intervention help? It does the heavy lifting of data analysis and lesson generation.

Our approach

—

mCLASS Intervention follows a research-based skills progression and uses software to analyze results, form small groups, build engaging lessons for each group, and update skill profiles and groups every ten days.

Measure skills

Every 10 days, educators progress monitor students on the skills they’re working on. mCLASS Intervention analyzes these results, so it can update students’ placement on the learning progression and identify what they should focus on next.

Group students

Once each student’s profile is updated, mCLASS Intervention analyzes the results of other students and arranges students by skill into small groups of up to 4-6.

Generate lessons

Once groups are formed, mCLASS Intervention determines the ideal focus for each group and automatically prepares two weeks of lessons targeted to current needs of each group. See a sample here.

Teach students

Staff then deliver the lessons to the small group of students—either with the interventionist coming into the room or the students going to a different room.

What's included
