Task 3: Define the Roles of Interventional Staff Members

Guideline: Interventional staff members may have titles such as Intervention Teacher, Reading Teacher, Reading/Literacy/Instructional Coach and/or Curriculum Specialist. Regardless of the specific role and position title, the aim is to provide support mechanisms enabling the content area teachers to incorporate related strategies into their subject matter focus. Possessing an awareness of the issues associated with adolescent literacy enables the interventional staff members to assist the content area teachers.
