Comprehensive Intervention Model

<p><i>The Comprehensive Intervention Model: Fostering Self-Regulated Readers Through Responsive Teaching</i> by Linda Dorn Carla Soffos and Adria Klein introduces educators to an innovative intervention model that puts theory to practice then gives that practice a framework. When implemented with fidelity the framework has the potential to close the gap between low-progress readers and their grade-level peers.</p><p>The Comprehensive Intervention Model (CIM) organizes essential educational theory and effective instructional practices under a complete layered intervention model. CIM includes both a professional book and resource manual that correlates the intent behind the Response to Intervention (RTI) movement. This well-researched and practical resource begins by laying the theoretical foundation for its methodology before describing its multi-tiered system of instruction across a range of components. The book concludes with a collection of examples that show the model in action.</p><p>The professional book includes:</p><ul> <li>High-quality differentiated classroom instruction</li> <li>A portfolio of evidence-based interventions</li> <li>A seamless assessment system at an individual and system level</li> <li>School-embedded professional learning for increasing teacher efficacy and building capacity in schools</li> </ul><p>Beyond boxed programs and quick-fix options the authors outline and advocate for an intervention approach that includes a commitment to systemic reflection teacher development precise assessments and data-driven responsive instruction—all centering on student needs</p><p>Use along with the Resource Manual to support a Response to Intervention (RTI) method for closing the gap between low-progress readers and their grade-level peers.</p>
