W.I.N. Time (Intervention) Lesson Plans

Yesterday I blogged about a concept called W.I.N. time.  Basically it is a time built into the schedule for interventions and challenging your higher students.  I do a new concepts for students every two weeks.  I try to have groups no larger than 6.  I get people into my classroom to help lead groups and I have some students working independently.  I always try to follow this model as I am planning the intervention lessons:

Day 1 - Teach or Reteach a concept already taught
Day 2 - Model for students how to do it
Day 3 - Practice Together
Day 4 - Practice Together
Day 5 - Independent Practice
Day 6 - Independent Practice
Day 7 - Review and Assess

I have given a very detailed description of what W.I.N. Time is and how to do it in a pamphlet I posted on TPT.  You can access that here.

In my TPT store I also have several W.I.N. Time (intervention) lesson plans already laid out, with many more to come.

 

You can find my Intervention lesson plans here.  For this week only, I will be giving  my W.I.N. Time/Assessment Binder away for free!  Tell your friends!

I feel like we can't just continue to teach to the whole.  It is difficult to differentiate for every student, but this is one way to be collecting data and responding to that data with purposeful intervention.  This is something that had been lacking in my classroom and I am seeing some great results because of the intentional effort being put into seeing where every student is at and trying to help them move forward from there.

Make it a great day!
