Probably the best part of my job is being able to visit so many wonderful schools, teachers, and classrooms. I usually go with the intent to share some ideas at the request of a teacher or administrator, but I always come away with so many great ideas from them! I was recently at Huron Middle School and saw intervention wheels hanging in many of the classrooms and teacher planning areas.
These intervention wheels come from a Texas company called http://www.mentoringminds.com/ Mentoring Minds has a variety of products for grades K-8 (but they could certainly be used at the high school level) for interventions and teaching materials in most content areas. What caught my eye about the wheels was their similarity to the EZ grader I used to use-just slide the card over to show what the student's percentage would be based on the total number of questions and the number right. Turn the intervention wheel to a new intervention to try, document its success or failure over time, turn the wheel and try another one. The wheels are about $9.00. Check out their online newsletter and other products.
P.S. I do not work for this company, but after seeing their products in use at a school, wanted to share the resource with you.
