Redwood Literacy’s Individualized Intervention & Data Plans

At Redwood, we are deeply committed to ensuring that every student experiences academic growth, which is why we have developed an individualized progress monitoring plan that is both efficient and effective. By focusing on collecting the right data, being transparent and optimistic in how we share it, and limiting unnecessary testing, we reduce stress while maximizing meaningful learning time. This approach has led to 100% of our students making academic growth during their time at Redwood. The data we collect is not just a record—it is a living tool that continually shapes and refines each student’s intervention plan, ensuring lessons are increasingly targeted and impactful. In this blog, we’ll explore how our progress monitoring and benchmarking work together, answer common parent questions, and share how this approach supports your child’s success.

Forming the Intervention Plan:

When a student starts at Redwood Literacy, they will complete a Math Benchmark Assessment which is aligned to Common Core State Standards. These assessments will either be administered at the student’s grade level or at the level that is closest to their instructional level based on information from their families, schools, and/or documentation (like IEPs or Neuropsych Reports). 

The first of their Benchmark Assessments will give instructors and families a baseline for where instruction will begin and which concepts have already been mastered. Using this data, the instructor will complete an Intervention Plan that is aligned to your individual student’s strengths and needs. Within the first month of working with Redwood, you will receive your student’s Intervention Plan and Benchmark Assessment data.

‍What Types of Data Does Redwood Collect?

At Redwood, we collect both Benchmark Data and Exit Ticket Progress Monitoring Data. 

1. 3-4 times per year, students will take a Benchmark Assessment at their instructional level (based on their results of their initial Benchmark Assessment). The data from the baseline and ongoing Benchmark Assessments can be found in your student’s Pearl portfolio. 
2. Curriculum-based, standards-aligned exit tickets will be given during each session to make instructional decisions and further monitor progress each week. This data will be shared during Quarterly Data Reports. 

Two Ways We’ll Keep You Informed

1. Monthly Narrative Updates

Every month, you’ll receive a short written update about your child’s learning from their instructor. These updates will include: 

• What skills your child is learning and practicing (aligned to their instructional level’s standards).
• How they’re progressing in their lessons.
• Highlights and wins—moments of growth or persistence that we’ve noticed.
  

These narrative updates are meant to feel like a window into your child’s math sessions. You’ll know not just the “what” but also the “how” of your child’s learning.

2. Quarterly Data Reports

Four times a year, you’ll also receive a formal progress report based on their Exit Ticket and Benchmark Assessment data. The Quarterly data reports provide:

• Accuracy scores that show how your child is progressing over time. 
• Clear growth measures from the beginning, middle, and end of the school year.
• Alignment to grade level standards to show how they are making gains toward mastering grade level content. 

Our Commitment to You

We know that every child’s journey looks different. Some students soar ahead in big leaps, while others take steady, smaller steps forward. No matter what, we promise to share information with transparency, optimism, and care. 

Your trust and partnership mean everything to us. We are honored to walk alongside your family, and we’re excited to share your child’s progress every month and every quarter this school year.
