CARNEGIE LEARNING® ADAPTIVE MATH SOLUTIONS
FOR RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION (RTI)

Multi-Tiered Approach to Intervention

Carnegie Learning offers math curricula and services that can be applied to multi-tiered interventions. Several implementation options are available to meet the needs of your students. Please contact a Carnegie Learning Regional Account Manager for a free consultation.

Tier 1: Universal

You can implement Carnegie Learning Curricula as your universal curriculum for all students. Our core curriculum model helps students obtain a deep conceptual understanding of the math. Students spend more time learning working on engaging math programs in groups and independently.

Implementation Model: A daily instruction model where students spend more time being active learners during class periods as they work in small groups or independently to solve engaging math problems. Each student is given a Carnegie Learning Consumable Text that they can write in, take notes in, highlight key data in a problem, and show his/her work to solve a problem. Teachers encourage and facilitate classroom discourse about mathematics. Students are expected to regularly prepare, present, and discuss solutions to math problems.

Tier 2: Strategic Intervention

We can target students' skill deficits in our Cognitive Tutor Software. It is the most powerful mathematics software for differentiating instruction. Each student receives a truly individualized learning experience because the software adapts to their learning needs. Students are also provided support while they learn in the forms of just-in-time feedback and hints. They're designed to be very specific to help a student persist to solve the math problems.

Implementation Model: Provide supplemental instruction via Cognitive Tutor Sof tware. Assign the curriculum to students and based upon their knowledge and performance the software will present problems to address student weaknesses. Alternatively, teachers can selectively assign units as needed for practice, reteaching or reinforcement as needed in addition to instruction received from the core curriculum.

Tier 3: Intensive Intervention

At-risk students need more time and practice to master math skills. We provide teachers with the ability to create a custom curriculum sequence to target students' weakest skills. We also offer interactive review sessions for students who need to refresh their understanding of material they've studied previously. We have additional print materials, like a Homework Helper to extend instructional time into the home. Each homework helper volume contains instructions so parents can assist their child if needed.

Implementation Model: Additional daily instruction leveraging both Carnegie Learning Texts and Cognitive Tutor Software.

Example: Students needing an intensive intervention are enrolled in a math support class and Algebra I class concurrently. The Math Support class can address math fundamentals and deepen math understanding required to progress in Algebra I.

Furthermore, Carnegie Learning® 24/7 Math Help service provides one-on-one online tutoring for at-risk students. Certified tutors use chat windows and online white boards to communicate with your students, offering help and pointing them in the right direction. Students lead the discussions, and can ask as many questions as they need to achieve understanding.
