Usually those ideas mean hours of meaningless paperwork for the reading coaches to prove they are helping.<br /><br />After the cuts we are down to .5 at most schools for reading interventionist. We are forced to keep all reading coaches. In most cases the interventionists did a great job with the bottom students helping them raise up two grade levels. The issue is that they are up to 4 years behind their peers. <br /><br />So now teachers will have tons of extra testing and paperwork and no help teaching those without an IEP.
