Challenges
One challenge would be to have a dedicated organized director to manage the intervention. The director would need the time to be in good communication with the classroom teacher. What enrichment activities are in place for on-level students? Most focus is on low achieving students, students with IEPs. Expense- Budget Cuts, Not enough funds Needs another person to run the second lab

Strengths
The school has a beautiful and friendly environment New state of the art labs Supportive Administrator-Promotes Technology Program engages all senses

Issues
Budget Collaboration Time Short Staffed- Students unattended Program is not equitable- only geared for low achieving students, what is in place for on target and advanced students Specific tools for the specific disability

Your Take-Away
The intervention program is really good to have. Technology does have a purpose in education. Must have a buy in starting from the district down to the classroom teacher to be effective!!!!! Focusing on the low achieving students is important, they have the most need and make the most gain. Meeting the needs of all students, including enhancements are important. In all technology courses, a teacher is very vital in delivering and managing instruction.
