This video addresses key components of a successful intervention program for students at grade level or above, focusing on curriculum-based problem-solving and spiral review using Teach Tanks. The importance of independent completion and monitoring of students is emphasized. Teachers learn to implement strategies such as Activate Reading, unlocking reading skills with metacognitive activities and using high-level thinking for extensions. The management responsibilities, teacher accountability, and student assessment methods are detailed, providing a comprehensive guide for effective intervention. Examples and homework resources are also shared to aid in creating tailored Teach Tanks for students. Dive into the program's guidelines and engage in purposeful discussions for successful implementation in the classroom.

Why is this important?http://youtu.be/dY2mRM4i6tYPlease list the important issues addressed in this video? Compile a group list.
For students on grade level or above • Curriculum Based • Figure 19 • Grade Level SE’s • Problem Solving • Spiral Review of SE’s already taught Overview
Used during Intervention Time only • Model Teach Tanks whole group during Weeks 1 and 2 • Monitor and Guide students in Teach Tanks during Week 3 • Intervention will begin Week 4 • Students should be able to complete Teach Tanks independently at this time
6 to 12 tubs per six weeks • Students can complete in 2 to 4 days • Length depends on the “meat” of the tank How many do I make?

ALL tubs are LA based due to reading and writing component • Use fiction book then the whole tub will be considered LA • Use non-fiction book then tub will be a Math, Science or Social Studies tank • We will show you a MATH variation later!
READ- Figure 19C • Use leveled readers, Reading A to Z, and trade books • Students must be engaged in reading • Unlock strategies • Use “Activate Reading” Checklist • Variations of graphic organizer Components
These should be filled out WHILE the students read. • Metacognitive Activity Graphic Organizers
SUMMARIZE- Figure 19E • Written Summary • K-2nd begin with BME illustrations then move to written summary • 3rd-4th use Project Read graphic organizer to write summary
INFERENCE- Figure 19D and content area SE • ”Meat” of tub • Activity needs to follow content area SE
EXTENSION- Figure 19F • Needs to be higher cognitive level of thinking • Making Connections • Relate: • Self to Self • Self to Text • Self to World
Pocket Chart (teacher choice) • Tic Tac Toe (self-choice) • Poster board with Clothespins • Other Ideas? Use Fridays for kids to finish any uncompleted work. This is also a great time for Intervention kids to get a chance to do the tubs. Management
Teacher Responsibilities • Check student work before Friday • Reassign tubs to students that did not perform to the standards required. Students will redo work on Fridays. • Be aware of areas of weakness Accountability
NO formal grading • Use as informal assessment • GREAT documentation for RtI Grading
Each Teach Tank Includes: • Student Directions • Book • Unlock Reading Documents • Activate Reading Checklist • Grade level appropriate graphic organizer • Materials to complete activities
In your group, review the Intervention Log. • Discuss questions or revisions that you would need to make to fit your team. Purposeful Talk
Take some time and explore the samples. • What questions do you have? Samples and Examples
Gather reading material to be able to make at least two Teach Tanks. • Bring curriculum that you need to make your Tanks. • Take a look at the Math Alternative, bring questions with you tomorrow. Homework

Pick a book • Decide the content area focus • Use the planning guide • Create Student Directions TIPS: • Remember Focus on Curriculum! • Have fun! Now, it’s your turn…
