SIEP
My school just started its annual SIEP. Students who struggle reading and math come one day for each subject they need help with. For example, a student who struggles in both reading and math come on Monday for reading and Wednesday for math. They stay from 4:30 to 5:30. We get them from the cafeteria at 4:30 and by the time they log onto computer and the program they are using they get started around 4:45. They have to be at the front of the school by 5:25 to catch the bus home. SIEP will continue until the Ga. Milestones is administered in April. This year we will be using Study Island for reading and ST Math for math. Study Island will start the Monday after Thanksgiving break (hopefully), so for now we are using either BrainPop or for students who have it, Read180.
This is my 4th year teaching reading SIEP. The students who are in my class are very low readers according to the MAP data. As a matter of fact, some of them scored at the beginning reader level.
I do not feel there is enough time to actually help these students show gains in reading. I mean I really only have them for 40 minutes one time a week. I believe SIEP should be started earlier in the school year. Am I totally wrong about this? Has anyone seen improvement using SIEP in their school?
What are your thoughts?
