Helping All Students Pass and Succeed!


The ELMS intervention model is based on the premise that some students are not served well by just receiving the general curriculum (i.e. students who are marked below grade level in math and/or reading and those students who are performing two or more years above grade level). Consequently, teachers have created specialized academic intervention programming to address the needs of these students.

It is critical that schools have programming not only for those students who are below grade level, but also for those who are excelling. I would argue that our economic power in the world depends on having our above grade level students able to compete with the student across the aisle from them as well as the students who are across the oceans.
