I recently had the opportunity to create and implement an intervention strategy in my field experience classroom. The student I worked with was identified as below grade level based on formal and informal assessments, including observations of her interactions with classmates and her performance on class assignments. This identified a need for additional support in order to help the student reach their learning goals.

To develop an effective intervention strategy, I researched evidence-based interventions that would best meet the needs of the student. After discussing my ideas with my mentor teacher, we developed a targeted behavior plan which focused on positive reinforcement strategies. This included explicit instruction and consistent praise for completing tasks correctly, immediate feedback when incorrect responses were given, as well as frequent breaks throughout the day in order to reduce frustration levels. In addition to this, visual aids were used to reinforce understanding of new concepts being learned in class and generate interest among peers while engaging them in collaborative activities throughout each lesson.

The impact of this intervention was then informally observed through direct interactions between myself, my mentor teacher, and the student during instructional sessions or conversation within our group setting. As such interaction increased over time so did the students overall participation level both inside and outside of class settings as they began taking more initiative over their own learning process rather than relying heavily on prompts from teachers or peers. Furthermore data collected also showed improvements in academic performance across all subjects indicating that particular areas still needed strengthening; however progress had been made regarding general comprehension skills across all content areas studied within our course curriculum thus far.

Following implementation discussion between myself and my mentor teacher revealed strengths about utilizing positive reinforcement strategies alongside other forms of accommodations such as providing visual aides when teaching new material which further helped engage not just target student but also those around them creating a supportive environment conducive towards learning where individual differences could be appreciated rather than judged upon making it easier for every one involved including myself not only take part actively but also reflect upon its outcomes at different stages throughout its duration helping me gain important insight into how I should approach similar situations whilst working professionally later down line if required ever occur .
