Introduction
The Pre-Child Study and Child Study Process Handbook outlines the procedures
and practices of the pre-child study and child study process in Newport News
Public Schools. The pre-child study and child study process is based on a response
to intervention model. Response to intervention is a multi-tiered, problem-solving
approach designed to address academic and behavioral difficulties of students. It
is an integrated school improvement model that is standards-driven and
incorporates both prevention and intervention activities.
Underlying Tenets of the Pre-Child Study and Child Study Process
1. We believe that Newport News Public Schools can effectively teach all
children.
Response to intervention practices are based on the belief that all children can
learn. It is the responsibility of district and building personnel to identify the
curricular, instructional, environmental conditions and resources that make possible
continuous growth in learning.
2. Newport News Public Schools will intervene early.
To increase the likelihood of success, intervention must occur at the earliest
indication of academic or behavioral need. Effective prevention and/or
intervention practices should be modified based on ongoing monitoring of student
progress.
3. Newport News Public Schools will use a tiered system of interventions and
practices.
A continuum of scientifically-based instructional interventions, strategies, and
resources that meets the academic, emotional, and behavioral needs of students
must be provided. These interventions and practices must be effective, efficient,
and linguistically / culturally responsive, differentiated in both makeup and
intensity, and must be delivered with fidelity.
4. Newport News Public Schools will use a collaborative decision-making
process within the intervention model.
A scientific inquiry model will be implemented by building and district personnel to
collaboratively develop intervention and action plans, monitor student progress, and
make data-based decisions regarding student response to intervention.
