Saint's Block is a 30 minute period during which all students receive targeted intervention in the areas of mathematics or English Language Arts. Groups are designed to reach learners at a certain level.  That is, if students require much reteaching on a concept, they are grouped with other students needing similar supports and will receive focused lessons on the topics they most need.  

​

All students walk to learn based on what they need -- no students are singled out, none are left out. They are moving to the location where the learning they need is happening.

​

Data is reviewed frequently (approximately every five weeks) to reformulate groups based on new needs/information.  Progress monitoring helps provide relevant, current information on learning and growth.

​

Groups range from intensive needs in ELA and math to enrichment (Encore), and everything in-between.

​

Placements into groups are objective and based on all the data available. Unlike with electives, student and parent requests for particular Saint's Block sessions, classes or Encore are not considered.
