Small Group Practicum is designed to provide participants with a rigorous opportunity to work intensively with a small group of elementary students to provide Tier 2 mathematics intervention instruction using the Number Sense Screener, Number Sense Interventions, Do the Math, or a specialized program for pre-k. Participants learn how to assess and analyze the mathematical skills and knowledge of their students using appropriate diagnostics from the intervention program. Participants will practice using pre-test data to plan and implement Tier 2 mathematics lessons. Participants will monitor the progress of students over the course of the 12+ weeks of small-group instruction with the goal of monitoring the student achievement and attendance of 3–4 children. Mathematics intervention instruction, excluding assessments, occurs 4–5 days a week, for 45 minutes per day, for 12+ weeks (i.e., a total of 45 hours).
