Academic Intervention Services in New York Schools
Overview
New York schools, like all public institutions nationwide, adhere to specific standards in reading and mathematics. However, not all students meet these expectations, and many families cannot afford external tutoring. To ensure no child falls behind, New York schools offer comprehensive solutions through Academic Intervention Services (AIS).
Academic Intervention Services
New York schools provide AIS programs that offer essential tutoring, counseling, and skill development. These services complement the standard curriculum and are available to students facing challenges in English Language Arts, mathematics, social studies, and science. Besides academic support, AIS can also address guidance, counseling, attendance, and study skills to enhance overall academic performance.
Availability and Parental Involvement
AIS may be offered during regular school hours or through extended days and years, depending on the school. Educators determine the need for intervention?"parents cannot request or decline services. However, parental involvement plays a vital role in a student's success in the program.
When a student requires AIS, parents are notified in writing about the program details, including the services provided, reasons for intervention, and potential outcomes of not meeting performance expectations. Regular communication with parents, including at least one consultation per semester with teachers and professional staff, is maintained. Parents receive quarterly progress reports and guidance on supporting their child's academic improvement.
