How does Program_name support each child's learning?
- Targeted Instruction: The Early Intervention Program (EIP) offers targeted instruction in core academic subjects, such as reading and math This additional instruction is designed to help students who are struggling in these subjects catch up to their peers and achieve grade-level proficiency.
- Small Group: The Early Intervention Program (EIP) classes are typically smaller in size compared to regular classrooms, which allows for more individualized attention. Students may receive one-on-ne or small-group instruction from qualified educators, making it easier to address their specific learning needs.
- Differentiated Instruction: Early Intervention Program (EIP) teachers often use differentiated instruction techniques to tailor their teaching methods to the diverse learning styles and needs of students. This helps ensure that each student receives instruction that is appropriate for their abilities.
